I have an article in the August issue of PolymerCAFE. It is the Elaine Beads project on page 16. I'd love to get your feedback. 

Here's a pic of the finished item:

congrats - that is awesome! I have not received mine yet. I will look for your article for sure : ) 

One of my favorite color combos!  Very nice.  I like that there is texture, but not so much that it's overwhelming.

Oh, wow, that was YOU?? I saw those and thought that looked awesome! In fact, when I get the chance, I intend to make a set of those (or similar in different colors)! Very cool little project. Will post what I make when I'm done. Grats on the publication!

Barbara this is quite "yummy".....I just love the design AND the colors you used....wonderful work!

 Thank you, everyone! For those of you that take the plunge and make the beads, please let me know if you found the instructions to be complete enough, etc. I'm working on another article or two for them and want to make them as complete as possible!

 Have a great weekend!

Congratulations! I haven't read it yet, but it looks great.
