I'm home!

After 30 days and 9,600 miles we're home!  Actually we got home last weekend but since we had a week of gorgeous weather.. the garden was calling... and the black flies were biting!  But today we have rain and gale force winds so no gardening!

New Cat Bead.... Clio over silver leaf... one of these days it may even show up on etsy!

April Fools Sale in my Etsy Store & Mothers Day promotion on Starving Artist Forum

Check out my Etsy store... I'm having an April Fools Sale...  The sale will be in effect the entire month of April, 20% off store wide  Just in time for Mother's day!

Ths is my newest electroformed tree bead... It's headed towards etsy.. but I haven't found my caliphers and my camera in the same place yet.... I really like how this turned out!  (and yes the little wonky stand will be included!)

As for the Starving Artists Mothers Day Promotion... you get 'ballots' for doing Social Media things.... Here's a link to the Starving Artists Blog of all the ways you can get ballots to win one of three gift certificates from the  starving jewelry artists shops that are listed in that blog post!  You can spend the 'money' in any participating shops... Buying something from me doesn't get you any extra ballots but it will make me happy... and I make much nicer beads when I'm happy then when I'm sad!

Tired of Bead Soup?

I took a class from Stephanie Sersich in Rhode Island a couple of weeks ago...  I've been practicing my off mandrel Star Fish ... This one came out of the kiln yesterday... I think he looks like he's dancing!

New style tree bead

This sort of looks like a green valentine..... was suppose to be the might oak bursting into spring foliage... think it lost something in translation!

Almost wordless Wednesday

Typical cat won't stand still to have his picture taken!
