Potomac Bead Company



Another of the awesome vendors to join us at the Mystery Mountain Crafters Expo will be Potomac Bead Company. Allyson Megeath will be the representative.

From Black Rose Warning:

The body hugging ivory gown enhanced Allison’s slim body and swished when she walked. Swarovski crystals adorned the bodice. Crystal hair pins kept her glossy black hair piled on her head, which hung in ringlets to her shoulders. She sparkled and glittered with every step she took in silver stilettos.


Not sure who or where the bad guy could be, a worried Maggie felt the ink pen slide from her shaky fingers. She leaned down to pick it up and spotted something glittery. She reached for it and sat up. A Swarovski crystal hair pin twinkled in the light. How did Allison's pin get in Luke's car? Her heart pounded. She needed to escape.

Maggie put the beaded hair pin in her jacket pocket and waited for Luke to go inside to pay for the gas. The minute he walked away, she opened her door and ran. Luke’s voice calling for her to return chased after her. Run, Maggie, run......

Here's an excerpt from Black Rose Warning which features a painting:

The painting over the fireplace in the library once more caught her eye. The artist used texturing for a 3D effect which brought the painting to life. The dark gray clouds blanketed the sky. Raindrops fell. Lightning stretched out in purplish arms.

A long rose tree, with huge black flowers, was being battered by the storm. Its ebony petals scattered and swirled in the air. Behind the tree was a dark emerald forest bowed to the wind. So real she imagined she heard the howling wind. Purplish black violets huddled near a huge boulder.

Green vines clung to the tree trunk and meandered all over the canvas as if searching for a stronghold. A jungle of green, wrapped around everything in its path. Wayward tendrils reached toward the gray sky in defiance. Maggie wouldn't have been surprised if one of the vines reached out to grab her if she got too close.

Temptation got the better of Maggie. She put down her cup of tea, stood on the ledge of the hearth of the stone fireplace and reached out to touch a green stem, fully expecting a vine to wind around her fingers. Then she noticed the letter "u r nxt" painted in the wild menagerie.

She withdrew her hand, stumbled off the hearth and banged into the table. The tea cup tumbled over and liquid fingers of red streaked across walnut. Crimson drop after drop splashed onto the oriental rug. For a moment, Maggie saw blood -- Allison's blood.
