Wow! The sun came out for just a few minutes not great shots but these are new cubes from yesterday. I sure had fun making them. Enjoy!



Well it is a good thing that I took a couple of extra pictures yesterday in the wind, today it is rather wet and gray out there. These are the same new press with the raking like I used to do long ago. They were lots of fun to make so I will have to make some more but I do not know when I have a hundred ideas in my head this week.

Well I have tried to take pictures of these beads two days in a row now. Yesterday the sun had gone just too far and all I had was shade that made the pictures all blue. Today the wind was actually blowing the beads off the deck. Yes it is that windy. These are all a new shape called a nugget and are fairly large they could be used individually as a focal or in a bracelet they would make a nice chunky bead without their sticking out too far. I am really loving them and hope to make many more in this shape with different decorations.

This is what happens when you have a huge back yard and a slightly crazy husband and son. The third one is a friend of my sons who has recently gone off the deep end for paint ball too. I will say they get more exercise than I do.

Hi just wanted to show you the round beads made to go with the cubes from yesterday. More fun bright colors. Brandon wants to know when I will quit using these colors, never I am afraid I have really become attached to the brights.

Boy sometimes the time just flies by and I am totally unaware. I have been working on a big order most of the month and of course have had shows to go to as well but I finally got a picture of something new. I have been wanting to add some cube shape beads to the bright color things I have been doing. Today I made round ones to match these little cubes so hopefully I can show you those tomorrow. Have a good evening.

Well I promised you a picture and here it is. I was trying out a new layering technique and so made this small focal. I will try to get some more pictures in the next few days. We are finally getting some rain so there has been no sun.

Wow! It has been a very long streak of no posting from me. Sorry the month has been very busy with shows and a big special order. I will try very hard in the next week to get something fun in pictures for you to see.
