I'll be teaching two classes at the Create-Your-Style Crystallized Swarovski Elements and three classes at the J.O.G.S. International Exhibit. Neither of the venues have their schedules up yet, so you're the first to know.
I developed a brand-new class for Swarovski that marries my love of sparkle with my Steampunkiness. I'm calling it Le Temps. What do you think? I'm excited about this class because it incorporates all sorts of beginning metalwork techniques and the result is pretty dang cool. Now to search down enough pocketwatch faces so I can give them to the students...anyone have a great source?

Hi Jean!
Love the new necklace! Combining old and new is so much fun. I hope I can make it down to Tuscon in 2010 so I can take the class.

Cool. I looked for watch faces at one of my fav odds/ends places to no avail (http://www.sciplus.com). But found a list of surplus retailers with one near you in Findley. Though, I didn't call to check (http://www.repairfaq.org/ELE/F_surplus_us.html). Good luck! I know how difficult sourcing can be.
Thanks for the link, Rachel! I go to the Ax-Man all the time--it's the best. Unfortunately they haven't had watch parts in a long long time...
try Bonnie's Birds of a Feather shop in Cambria CA. She has all kinds of cool things, including pocket watch faces.
That's a beautiful necklace!

LOVE IT!
those darn faces are hard to come by. I'll check the fleamarket next month for you.
Hi Jean from one fellow Minnesotan to another. Are you doing anything here soon in the Twin Cities?
I love the necklace, but I love your beadwork the best. It's always fresh.
I like www.beadalgo.com for watch faces. They have a lot on closeout right now.
Thanks for the ideas and kind words, everyone. FYI-I found a great place for watch faces: www.steampunksupply.etsy.com. Lots of other stuff to oogle, too.
