Almost wordless wednesday
This piece was done for the Art Bead Scene January Challenge... The painting that inspired it was Claude Monet's
La Pie (Magpie). (Since there isn't another Monday in January a probably missed the boat... re the challenge!
Growing up in Alberta Magpie's were everywhere.... they haven't made it to Eastern Canada yet... even thought they are loud somewhat obnoxious birds.. they really are pretty!

One world One Heart is Here!
"This event was started in 2007. The original idea behind this giveaway event was to bring bloggers together from around the world who may never ordinarily meet. It closes the gap of the blog community and enables us to interact, discover new and wonderful people, and in the process possibly win a prize or many prizes along the way. 2007 had roughly 85-90 participants and many connections were made because of it......friendships that are still going strong.
We had a strong showing the first year for sure, and then in 2008 we had just about tripled that number. In 2009 there were 911 participants, to say I was amazed is an understatement. 28 countries were represented in the 2009 event as well."
I participated last year as well ... this year I have two beads to give away (Sorry about the awful pictures it's overcast and grey here today.... nothing like waiting until the last minute to take the pictures!)

New style tree beads
I just love the way these two beads turned out! The enamel is under the encasing... The ridges are caused bu spiraling transparent glass over the enamel and melting the spiral in before the bead was encased!

More about Bead Soup
This is what I sent my partner in 'Bead Soup Blog Party' Today was the mailing deadline... My Beads are going to England and I'm getting my stash from England... Deadline to have things made is Feb 10 (which is also my father's birthday and my/our anniversary) The question is will the international postal systems even deliver our beads by then!
Here's Joanne's blog (my partner!) While your checking out her blog scroll back to January 10 and look at the lego ball winder for wool!
