Huckle berries and mt vision

the "vital eye" bead. named and inspired by the Danny vitali him self.

a select few beads from the hundreds made for the fair.
Some recent happenings, i attended the Inverness fair, where i set ole Constance the VW van up and sold advice for 5 cents and the collection of glass beads. it was good to get some feedback about the glass work, and i made around 100$ in selling beads alone. i made 50 cents on giving some great advice. i was there as Olema Bead Works. all in all it was a very positive turn out and some great feed back on the beads.

 Last weekend Danny and i took sunday to go hike up Mt Vision and collected Huckle Berries and sticky monkey flower for medicine. i found this unusual looking plant along our travels.  i did take a job at the local meadery with founder and "Bee" buddy Gordon Hull. its been a fun time installing a big bee friendly perennial garden, and soon i will start on propagation on the coming winters artichokes and other late summer early fall and winter crops for the bee gardens soon to come.
