Long time blog readers might remember my past feature on Canadian Alison Griffith's Argus Collection. She specializes in gorgeous clasps and fancy stones. She and her daughter, Quinn, caught the beading bug and have not looked back.
That feature was from two years ago. Alison has considerably expanded her selections. She is an authorized retailer for Cymbal metal elements and is the exclusive Canadian supplier for Hiilos and Mag-lok clasps.
This mother and daughter duo are also now offering Les Perles par Puca beads which is an innovative collection designed in France.
Alison explained :
They fit together in an infinite variety of designs but also work well with many other seed beads and shaped beads. The coatings are of the highest quality with unique colours not found in other beads. Argus Collection is an authorized retailer for North America and the exclusive distributor for Canada.
The par Puca beads are featured in her latest kit in her kits and patterns collection. The Venus bracelet is the latest design. It retails for $40 which includes the full tutorial, Swarovski pearls and bicones, par Puca beads, clasp and Cymbal connector.
Alison is offering a Venus bracelet kit giveaway to one lucky winner! The winner will have his or her pick of either the turquoise or tangerine color combination. What a super way to experience a top notch collection of beading supplies!
What the bracelets look like :
