I'm off this morning to the metalshop to pick up mandrels the size of rings (5-10) in order to make glass rings. Someone posted a link on WC about how to do it, and I'd like to try it out. I bought a black moretti ring on a website a few weeks back and after receiving it, I realized "these would be so simple to make". Then I lost track of that thought. But now that the instructions are available (I probably could have figure them out for myself), I'm all jazzed to try it for myself. Jim at BlueMoon said he'd split the mandrels with me (I think they come in 10ft lengths?) and he'd stock them for sale. I'd like to have a class on it as well - look at me jumping ahead..good grief. gotta get the mandrels first.
Saw Kill Bill last night. Wow. Not a movie for everyone. Extremely violent, some funny, some not so funny. Its one of those movies that while *I* liked it, I can't recommend it to anyone, because it might give them nightmares. You have to be 1. in the mood, 2. able to handle buckets of blood and knives coming from all directions 3. enjoy chop-socky movies. If you don't say 'yeah!' to all 3, then you probably should not go. Brian and I enjoyed it. I liked the fact that Lucy Lui got killed. Don't much care for her. (I even purposely spelled her name wrong here).
The Houston Bead Show finally sent their admission package to me, so I'll post the admission flyer (print it and save $1.00 on entrance). I'll be shipping the book to my mom in Houston so she can pass them out to ya'll who might want to come out. Nothing like seeing the real Blackberrybeads in person, eh?
