Lets get crackin, Grommit
Look what Michelle from Twisted Thoughts Originals did with some of my beads...Beautiful!
Yesterday's class was great fun, we found all sorts of things to talk about and found lots of ways to solve all the problems of the world...(and where to find really great antique diamond jewelry- pawn shops were both our secret weapons!)...Both ladies caught on quickly and I felt good about their progress and ability to get some kick ass florals made....Now all they need is to make 100 of them and they'll be making better ones than me!
Its time to get back to work...first I'm taking my torches to BlueMoon and having quick disconnects added onto the hoses. The point of those is so i can swap out my Minor and my Lynx conveniently and therefore can use whichever torch is best suited for the beads I'm making. Most folks like one torch over another, but I've found that different torches do different things so I like to use the Lynx for small concentrated work, and the Minor for larger pieces like hollows, fish, bicones, pendants and beads that are larger than my usual...Plus I'm a torch junkie (and a tool junkie) so any excuse to be able to use both torches frequently makes me happy...
will draw the Freebie winner soon (when my Sundays are busy, I never get the drawing done till Monday)...and will post some new beads now that its slightly sunny outside...stay tuned...!

Aren't Michelle's designs the coolest? I love her designs. I'm too "left-brained" for that level of creativity!

amazing! course you can tell I'm a fan, i own like 5 of them (and have another on the way...). I'm too LAZY to make my own, but certainly don't have the eye for stringing like she does...love them!
