Silver Wrap

Borosilicate glass has silver and other metals already embedded within it (which is how you get all the pretty colors), but I wondered how it would look if I added some silver leaf to it and just loved the effects I got. What do you think?

Quiet Night

Well, it has been a hectic work week and I am beat! I am so glad it is Friday tomorrow!!! Tonight I wish I could say I am going to make beads, but I can't. I am going to muster up every bit of energy in me to make myself study for my Echo boards! My first of 2 exams is less than 2 weeks away and I need to get my booty in gear. I have not taken an ultrasound registry since 2001 when I took my vascular boards and boy am I rusty. I know the kind of dedication and studying it takes to pass those lengthy exams and I am starting to feel the pressure. (I am getting too old to have to take new tests!) Not to worry though. I will be making beads definitely this weekend and maybe even get in some torch time tomorrow night! So check back, because I promise to post new beads as soon as they are made! Oh...and don't forget....THESE beads are up for grabs!! The drawing will be this Saturday night, so don't forget to post away to get your entry in!

Have a great night!

It's been a few days....

Sorry it has been a few days since my last post! I made beads Saturday, but didn't get them up on the blog because Sunday we were out almost the ENTIRE day riding our motorcycles! We had such a great time riding around beautiful country roads near where we live! The weather was perfect! I was off today and had time to make some new beads! Here is most of them! Hope everyone is having a great evening!



I love the iridescent sparkle in this bead!! That glass is just beautiful..it reminds me of peacock feathers!

Latest Beads

Well, here are the beads I added to the shop last night! The first pair is a custom order for Kristen and Ann!! I love the bubble large hole beads!!! They have so much depth to them and the patterns are really magnified beneath the crystal clear! I love how they turned out!!

Hope you are all having a great weekend! More beads up soon!!
