Trunk Show

Getting ready for my Trunk show at Bead Artistry in Fresno! I'm almost packed,all those last minute things to do.Don't think I will get any torch time in today!It's really feeling like Fall now,the colors are really showing.Here's a little frog that decided to park on one of my roses,so cute.Don't you wish sometimes that you had all the worries of a frog?

Here it is the end of September already and I haven't blogged since September 9th!I've been very busy getting ready for a Trunk show in Fresno,California.I have lots of beautiful Lampwork beads to take with me as well as toggles, bead cones and glass buttons.We are also celebrating my dad's 93rd birthday! He is so excited to have all the family there.Here's some eye candy in the meantime!

New Treasury

New Selling Venue

After hearing alot of good things about ArtFire.com I decided to open a shop with my handmade Lampwork beads.They make it fairly easy,you can upload your listings directly from your Etsy.It was kinda fun too! They have a color feature where you get to pick the main color in your item.( I just love color)I have to figure out how to make a banner,I used one from my stash,but I would like it to have my beads on it.
If anyone can help me with this,I'd appreciate it!I have professional pictures but don't know how to size it without it looking like you're in one of those funny mirrors at the circus! Here's the link:

New Beads

As promised here is a picture of the new beads I have been making.This glass is a lot of work but the results are worth it! I can't make alot of these beads in one day as the kiln time is very short compared to other beads.So,you have to make them at the end of your session,patience...Now I must get to the torch and start on Christmas beads for my trunk show in Fresno in October.
