Some of the results...

I finally took a few minutes to take some quick photos of the bangles and neckwires I have been making with all the beads that have come out of the kiln the past couple of days. First, my favorites, the ink & teal ones. I love these colors. And you can bet that when my glass order arrives next week, I will be making Bead Box beads in these colors. I just love love love them. It is a very gray and rainy day here so it isn't the best photo, but I had to show you something, lol. I am also making lots of earrings too. I am up to about two dozen pairs right now.



The black & white were the beads I made Sunday. I like 'em too. Very neutral, match anything kinda stuff. I am hoping to have around 30 neckwire and at least 20 bangles for next week's show. But I am only up to 5 bangles. It is slow go. Since they each take 5 beads... that is 100 beads for 20 bangles. (Look I can do math, lol) Lots of work .

I did try to make beads last night, I mentioned like some greens and yellows on my desk. Once I finally got out there I was whipped. And just not feeling the colors, so it turned out to be a not so productive evening. The Parents VS Kids soccer match is what did me in. But it was so my fun and definately worth it. I played offense for a bit but then got stuck in as the goalie. There were literally 30 kids to 8 adults. I stopped all the shots on goal, thank you very much. And I got nicknamed "The Boot". I have a very powerful kick for goal kicks. Jacob actually said he thought I wouldn't be any good but I surprised him, lol. Not too many Mom's can kick a soccer ball from the goal past midfield.

Today's color combo was a "safe" one. Pink & Green! Who doesn't love pink & green. You all keep suggesting brown &... colors, but I am out of transparent light brown so I will have to see what I can come up with. I decided that tonight, after Rock Star (GO RYAN!) I am going to have a Raku night. I will make some raku disks, raku nuggets, raku pebbles.... but I said I was out of black didn't I? I am thinking I am gonna do raku & ivory.... I will let you know how it goes. I have to tell you the sweetest thing the kids did today. While I was working and Mom was here playing with them, all a sudden all three where standing behind me was a grill cheese sandwich and a soda. They made me lunch! It was so nice. I am sure my Mom had something to do with it, so THANKS MOM! I gave them each a big thank you hug and kiss.

Time to check on the beads from this morning, dip mandrels for this evening and start dinner. Check ya later!
