New Beads

I'm back from a very successful trunk show in Fresno. It was a bead frenzy!! I've been working on custom orders from the show as well as getting some new beads in my Etsy shop.Here's a sample....

Annual Trunk Show

I have been feverishly getting ready for my trunk show at Bead Artistry in Fresno on October 6,7 & 8. I've been torching every day for about 3 weeks and have lots of goodies! Whatever doesn't sell I will be busy photographing and listing in my Etsy shop. I'm sure my "regulars" wonder why I haven't been listing much new! See you when I get back from sunny California!

Creative Quote of the Day

I love this quote and think it really applies to working with glass or any other raw material. "The creative process is a process of surrender,not control"

New Beads

I would like to thank (again) Jacqueline Parkes for her wonderful new tutorial. I have created a new style from some of the techniques and glass combinations in her tut. Here's a sample!

New Bracelet

This is my interpretation of the Frederick Winthrop Ramsdell poster presented by Art Bead Scene blog's monthly challlenge. I love the poster as I am a huge fan of Alphonse Mucha, one of Ramsdells mentors.I had alot of fun with this piece!
