Have Beads, Will Travel

Bead Artists Organize Bead Theme Cruise

(PRWEB) July 13, 2005 -- Searching for treasure in the Caribbean may sound like a far-fetched dream for some, but it will be the reality of bead and jewelry artists aboard Bead Cruise 2006. These bead enthusiasts will be creating their own treasures while taking classes with national known instructors on this exciting new theme cruise.

Mother-daughter bead artists Beverly Herman and Heather Powers are hosting a beading event that will be as decadent as the luxury cruise taking them to their island destination. It is their love for beading and teaching that led them to offer the best of this rapidly growing hobby along with a relaxing vacation. Beading classes, workshops, open beading sessions, bead shopping and a silent auction will be offered along with the extravagance of sailing aboard a cruise ship to a tropical island.

Joining Beverly and Heather, nationally known authors and bead instructors, Dona Anderson and Judith-Bertogolio Giffin will be teaching aboard Bead Cruise 2006. Classes range from intricate bead weaving techniques to polymer bead-making classes for all levels of skilled beaders.

Bead Cruise 2006 will set sail from Galveston, Texas April 6th for four days of beading adventures while traveling to the island of Cozumel, Mexico. Only 50 spaces are available for this pampering bead retreat and registration ends September 23rd. For more information visit www.beadcruise.com.
