Man....I Feel Like a Woman...


with this new firing!!!  Doesn't take much! Thank-you Shania :O)  I don't usually make this many multiples, but I really like this new glaze combo I've discovered in one of my experiments.....The "teenie" beads (5-6 mm) are not my favorite thing to make......They are always dropping and rolling across the floor...Ughhh!!  I've gotta chase 'em down.. only make them if someone requests or, in this case, if I want them!!


5 out of the 6 strings I will be sending to Juls from Julsbeads.  I first wanted necklaces for my sons since she makes some really cool "manly" necklaces and then I thought...."Can't just give them to them....I have a daughter too!"  and....my sons have wives....so, you have probably figured out where this is going..  The littlest ones are for the girls (well...women ;o) and the larger gray and earthy ones are for my sons.  I hope that the small aren't too small and the big aren't too big...I think an artist as talented as she will make it work...after all...She said she would :O)  GO JULS!!  The greens are a custom order for a new customer.  I think she will be surprised since I told her up to 2 weeks and it's only been 2 days...(happened to have more smalls than I needed).  Oh, and one more thing....these links...the "spring colors" is a custom order, but as with most custom orders, I try to make a few other similiar items while I'm in that zone.....New idea for a link!!

The winner of my bead give away will be announced later on today....Stay tuned :O)  Look at that....they MULTIPLIED in the kiln.....How'd that happen?

Give Me an Idea or Two....


Kelli is one of my buyers whose style just meshes with mine.  I like to make rustic beads and she's incredibly talented at using them in her own unique designs.  She has taken many classes in metal smithing as, I'm sure, you can see is evident in her work.  Stop by my website (artisanbeadsplus.com) soon for some more examples of her work.....Did I mention that her work is sold in museums and gift shops in and around her area of Clarksville, IN and that she specializes in custom work?  Her prices are very reasonable.  Drop her a line if you are interested in that unique piece that has been customized just for you (McPeanuts@aol.com).
