Regina X Jiron (aka BeadJewelryShopgirl)

at the American Craft Show in Baltimore, MD

February 22-24, 2008

Yes, one of our own members, Regina X Jiron, will be exhibiting her beadweaving at the American Craft Show in Baltimore, Maryland, from February 22 through 24.

The show is the largest juried, indoor craft show in the United States and will showcase the work of more than 700 artisans and craftspeople exhibiting handmade jewelry, furniture, clothing, home decor, and other handcrafts. Each year this show draws more than 25,000 visitors.

Regina was one of 100 artists of the National New Wave Community who applied to a special section of the show. Of those 100 artists, only 15 were juried in; so it's obvious that Regina has incredible talent in the craft of beadweaving and jewelry making.

The Etsy BeadWeavers send their congratulations to Regina and wish her great success at the show!

Regina will also be promoting the art of beadweaving and fellow members of the Etsy BeadWeavers Street Team by distributing postcards at the show. Twenty-two of the Etsy BeadWeavers are represented on the cards.
