These are so much fun! I ordered mandrels so I could make the large holed beads for all the European style bracelets. They can also be worn on a chain as a necklace. Look for more of these soon.
I have had the desire to knit lately and this is my very first hat. I am sending it to my daughter to keep her head warm because she is going to need warm clothes in New York. Our winters are usually very mild but I do love the first real cold front when I can pull my sweaters out of hiding.
Thanks everyone who came to see me a the show. The weather wasn't what we had hoped for but it could have been a lot worse. It started raining about an hour before it was over so we had to pack up in a hurry. Here is a photo of my booth. I made it smaller than normal in case it did rain.
The Market Street Art Show is tomorrow and they are predicting rain. I hope it either rains tonight or waits until Sunday and each time I check the forecast, they change it. The rain date for the show is the 20th but I am ready now. I'll stop whining now. Here are a couple of more. I finally figured out how to put text in my photos because a friend bought one of these this morning before I had a chance to post it. Have a great weekend!
The Market Street Fine Art Show is this Saturday, October 6 with a rain date of October 20. I have lots of new pieces and took these photos quickly this morning. I will be posting more pictures as I take them. My Mom is very ill and I still have not had much time to make beads but I am trying to at least get more jewelry made. Stop by and say "Hi!" if you are in the area.
I first began making glass beads in 2004 and have been consumed ever since. Experimenting with different techniques, glass colors and metals is a never ending pleasure. I love opening the kiln to see what new suprises are inside. I am truly blessed to be able to do what gives me so much joy.
