Mood:  happyTopic: Beading We're going to play beads here for a bit, since everything I have torched is in the kiln. This is a piece that I donated to a Breast Cancer Auction. I don't often do sweet, but this one just felt good to do. My Mother was a breast cancer survivor.

Mood: happyTopic: Year of Jewelry This weeks theme in Year of Jewelry is "Take Flight". I guess I'm wanting vacation. The place we typically go is way way way up north in Wisconsin. One of our most awesome things to do is watch the eagles fly and count loons and blue heron. This most awesome place is named Turtle Flambeau Flowage. Here's my tribute:

Mood:  amorousTopic: Year of Jewelry Year of Jewelry week 2 theme is "Kisses in the Mist". I thought of Wuthering Heights when Catherine and Heathcliff meet on the cliffs by the sea under a shining moon. I made this piece for Catherine to wear when she goes to meet Heathcliff...hey, the girl needs jewelry too, right? Here's my entry for this theme. A wire work necklace made with coppar, Swarovski crystals, round and facetted poppy jasper, red tiger eye and a lampwork vessel I made a couple weeks ago. Next weeks' theme is "Take Flight"...OHHH...I've got big plans..we'll see.

Mood: a-okTopic: Year of Jewelry I've become involved with a project called "Year of Jewelry". Each participant has committed to making one piece of jewelry per week and posting on a common blog. Click on the link in the blog menu at the right to see all entries. Each week has a theme, if you choose to accept the mission. My entry for the first week "Morning Zephyr" (zephyr is a light breeze...had to look that one up)...is a pair of earrings made from my lampwork beads. I tried to capture a "light breeze in the glass.

Mood: amorousTopic: Glass works Today, I've been trying to see what each glass does with the other. Limiting myself to two colors and clear....you know that won't last long. I found that Reichenbach Moccisan base with Olive Brown Trans when encased does this awesome crackle thingie. Too fun! Squeezed bead in the middle is 22mm both directions. DBF is on his way home from fishing in TN...and caught a 32 lb cat fish..you think he's not on cloud nine!!!

Mood: happyTopic: Glass works Practicing twisties and was trying to make a heart with a double bead. Both sides flopped and I accidently made a hollow. It's a little bubble off plumb, but how fitting is that?????? These were fun! The two on the right are renegades, but I liked the contrast in the twisties. Hey, atleast I'm entertaining myself, right?
