Beads At Dusti Creek

5 Local Artists Trunk Show @ BDC
2016-12-16 - 2016-12-18
This Weekend, starting tomorrow, Friday thru Sunday, we will be hosting 5 unique local Portland Artists.
Beautiful “Wear-ables” by Judee Moonbeam. Her bags, hats, scarfs are just stunning statements.
David V Horste: Lapidary extraordinaire. Pendant Focal Beads in Colors, Textures, Materials almost too numerous to count. David distills his gift of gab into Focal Beads that are sure-fire conversation starters.
Seth Fullerton creates beautiful ladies skirts and dresses that could be called ‘retro – chic” design, using wonderful woolens and then fully lining them with silk. Who does that anymore?
Susan Borts: A Bead Artists, who uses beads like paint. They don’t have necklaces at Nordstrom’s that make a statement like Susan’s. Dusti received one of Susan’s pieces, aptly named, “Crocodile Tears” for Valentines day. She Loves it!
Sine Morse: I never knew that Collage could be so exciting. Sine give her pieces a 3-D effect (No, they really are 3-d. There is no “effect”.) You will be charmed. I guarantee it.

Janu Gems, Semi-Precious Stones Trunk Show
Change your perspective. Enhance your point of view.

Escape your rut.
Change your perspective.
Enhance your point of view.

Years ago, my pre-dawn walks typically followed the same paths. But simply changing sides of the street changed my experience from the sweet smell of flowering plants, to the dark, rich earthiness of freshly turned dirt. Or, I’d notice architectural details; covered up coal chutes that had previously helped to heat older homes. Or tell-tale signs of a by-gone era like horse rings embedded in the curb.

Portland Horse Ring

The change in perspective opened my senses to differences realities. This simple change enhanced my experience, and expanded my point of view.

You can expand your point of view by visiting our “Janu Gems” Trunk Show this weekend. As a direct importer, Theodore travels to far more exotic places than SE Portland: the Far East and India, to bring back semi-precious gems, natural stones, pearls, and more. His selections for import are influenced by his experiences as a PhD of Transcendental Meditation.
His equally talented wife Reshma is an internationally known Sitar player, currently ranked as the fifth best woman player in India.

Even for Portland, this is an exceptionally talented couple, whose perspectives are quite different from ours.

Janu Gems is a Direct Importer of Semi-Precious gems and Natural Stones, providing an Outstanding Collection of Excellent Quality, at Great Prices!

The Exotic East comes to BDC.

Is Pleased to Present the
Janu Gems
Trunk Show
“Treasures from the East”

Theodore, of Janu Gems, is returning this weekend to BDC, bringing his collection of gems, pearls, beads and ready-made pieces.

He is just back from overseas, bringing with him lots of new inventory for his Trunk Show this weekend, Saturday & Sunday, August 27 and 28.
There are plenty of beads to see, starting with some very nice, but budget priced plain beads (Brazilian, African, and Cape Amethyst, Moonstone, Labradorite, Peridot, Apatite, Rose Quartz, Citrine, etc.) which will sell at the show in a range from $3 to $10 per strand.
More complex beads, with plenty of fine micro-facets, will be available from between $16 and $30 per strand (including Tourmaline, Amethyst, Peridot, Apatite, Garnet, Citrine, Labradorite, and, of course, many more.)
Looking for larger sized beads in faceted, or plain nuggets, briolettes and a wide range of shapes and sizes? Yes. This is your chance to find them.
Then there are the very high end beads, fashioned from top grade stones, and not usually available at bead shows. These will appeal to you designers out there.
On top of all that, there are the loose stones, perfect for setting in cabs, or paired with faceted gemstones.
Theodore asked us to let you know that in addition to stones that he has featured in the past, this time he is bringing “… watermelon tourmaline slices, a wide range of fine cabochons, also diamond beads and a wide range in tourmalines, chrysoprase, and also rhodochrosite”.

Here is a short, and rare opportunity to find the High Quality, High Value, Semi-Precious and Natural stones you’ve been searching for.
The take-away is that Janu is a Direct Importer of the best examples from his far flung, wide-ranging trips to serve you, our BDC Customers.
Don’t miss it.
