Just wondering, does anyone know of any bead stores I need to check out in Maui, Lahaina or nearby? Just sayin'...
The AE Theme Challenge this month is Repurpose chosen by Lesley. Great subject, and I wish I had more time to work on it. The day job kind of takes away my creative energy at times, and this month is no exception! However I did manage to do a few things! The first thing I thought of for the theme was something I had been thinking about for a long time. I remembered I had this magazine that repurposed those desiccant containers you get in pill bottles into beaded beads. I set out to find that magazine in my stash.

I don't remember the name of the shops, but there are a couple in Paia - the other side of the island from Lahaina - right where the Road to Hana starts...
There's also a gallery of glass work just off of Main in Lahaina - I think it's in the same building as BJ's - kinda tucked toward the back of the building...there's lots of neat sculptural glass work in there, and some nifty glass beads...I got a couple...
Lahaina's just a neat town for art in general...If you're not staying in town, try to get there on a Sunday or Monday and check out the market under the Banyan Tree...There's a lot of neat stuff...
When are you going? I can't wait to go back!
