Great loss to the beading community

Justyna Szlezak (Eridhan Creations) passed away on August 9 from a long battle with cancer. I had the privilege to work with her on her beautiful Blooming flower pendant in the 2015 June issue of Bead&Button magazine. She shared with me at that time about her battle. Justyna was a very talented and gifted artist who touched many people from around the world with her beadwork. The Bead&Button staff sends our condolences to all who loved and admired her, and she will always hold a special place in our beading family.
