MIA

Saturday, May 26th, 2007

I have been missing in action on the Blog scene. I have six days
until my first major show, The National NeedleArts Summer Market.
This is a wholesale show. Not the major stresser as the Bead & Button Show in Milwaukee,
the following weekend. I am frantically trying to produce inventory for this MAJOR event.
Until after the shows or maybe in the hotel, I will be MIA. I will be posting when I return!

I hope to see you in Columbus for TNNA or Milwaukee for Bead&Button!!

Branch Bracelet

Tuesday, May 8th, 2007

Front View

I created this bracelet using Branch buttons from the Flora&Fauna Button Collection. When the clay was still wet and pliable I formed the buttons around my wrist, then laid them on a glaze jar to help keep their shape. The little leaves were all hand formed, no mold. Pressed glass flowers for color and aluminum jumps connecting it together.Side view

Long Time

Tuesday, May 1st, 2007

It’s been a while. Life got a little nuts here for a while. My grandmother died and family was in town. Which interrupted work and everything else. Life has calmed down from that but it’s time to freak out. I have 30 days left I can work before my first show. To say a lot needs to be done is an understatement! Anyone want to come and help?!!

I am thrilled to be now working on a new iMac!! This is my birthday, mother’s day and anniversary gift. The resolution is fantastic. I can now go to any website without a problem. My computer was so old there were websites I was unable to visit because I could no longer upgrade my browsers. Now, problem solved.

30 days and counting………
