I've completed pretty much all the special orders I've had for Christmas. I think i have one or two left, but I should be able to knock those out today - they are small. and then I get to play around with the frits from Val again. I've done some initial testing, but am not happy with the results. a bunch of the beads cracked - the COE are not compat and I think i used too much frit. plus i'm not getting good results when encasing - that's not the frit's fault, its mine. I should not be encasing 104 moretti with 90 frit inbetween. that's a recipe for cracked beads...
My cold just wont go away and now my left ear is entirely closed up. I can't hear a thing out of it at all. I tried using the wax dissolving solution yesterday and I guess i just made it worse. it hurts now and i'm afraid to leave the pressure too long for fear of rupturing my eardrum. If you are a Dr. or in the medical field, email me with what you think I should do...
Brian went to the Rings trilogy yesterday. it was on the local news, there were folks dressed up like the Hobbit and Elf characters, someone brought some 'lambas' bread wrapped in leafs and B had a great time. I think he was home around 1:30, but I was asleep and not sure. He's ready to go again, i think we'll be going Monday for my turn to watch it. I'm looking forward to it!
