Neat new venue right on the historic Pt. Richmond waterfront, just yards across the water from the World War 2 Victory ship, The Red Oak Victory.
Was great of course to see bead friends and it's always neat to visit the town where we lived during the toddlerhood of our son. Colin learned how to ride a scooter, then a bike, less than 2 miles from today's bead show!

Anyway, getting back to John's chevrons. They are scorching, high quality beads! And there are purple ones, too. My eye cannot tell the difference in technique between his and the traditional drawn ones. He's using an optic mold and doing 5 layers at this time. I told him I'd have to purchase once he starts doing Pink! I do believe John Rizzi is creating a new page in chevron evolution.
