Well...I didn't stay in my PJ's and make jewelry until afternoon like I planned. But I had a good time.
Started the morning unloading my kiln of Bronze and was THRILLED with the Bronze Shell I made (see yesterday's blog post)...and sold!! I look forward to seeing what Erin Prais-Hints of Tesori Trovati creates with it! I'm going to be making more of these beauties and some other shells I've molded.
Then I went out and did a few errands, such a busy weekend coming up I thought I'd better get these necessities out of the way. When I came home there were goodies in the mail box, I received some new Lampwork Beads I've been eagerly awaiting, below are my first purchase from BB Glass Art
Periwinkle Pebbles! |
Ultramarine Pebbles |
Pacific Prisms |
Then this afternoon I played a little bit with some torch fire enameling beads, a little better than my last effort but still not quite there. I'm so looking forward to the class I'm taking with Barbara Lewis at Portland Art and Soul in a few months!! These are 2 of my more successfully of today's attempts, love that color!!
And I also tried my hand at making enamel head pins, not too bad!
