I was pleased to receive the latest issue of the Bead Society of Great Britain's Journal and find my necklace on the cover.
This is the wonderful necklace Joyce strung from the beads many BCN members contributed. These beads and the sentiments behind them helped Dee and I as I overcame cancer this year. My stem cell transplant was 43 days ago in Portland. We are home, sleeping in our own bed, cooking in our own kitchen and I'm back at Rings & Things working part time with the African and Indonesian beads I love.
The beads and necklace made a difference. I appreciate all your support.

By the way, our "black friday" discount sale has been very successful with African goods. We are wiped out of a number of beads I bought years ago. Older price plus discount made them too good to pass up. I'm digging through my stash looking for strands and art to add to the mix.

Gratitude and love to all!

The Russ Medicine Necklace is a wonderful symbol of positive healing power, a "community necklace".

I am so very glad you're doing great, Russ, and getting back to the work you love!

The Bead Society of Great Britain does a wonderful quarterly journal; I urge everyone to join. The current issue also has a nice presentation by Stefany on Venetian fancy tabular beads, a sequel article by Jurgen Busch on Kiffa beads, and an article about the pearls exhibit at the Victoria and Albert Museum through Jan. 19, 2014.

Time after time, the BSGB journal has something for everyone, which is stellar, especially when one remembers that it is a volunteer effort!

I need to apologize for the blueness of the snapshots of the journal. I shot them out side on an overcast day and didn't realize how blue they looked until I posted them.

I'd echo Joyce's encouragement to join and subscribe. Every issue has interesting articles.
