Squeeze me Seymore
I'm heading to a Sarah McLachlan concert tonight...and some vegetarian Indian food before hand...yum...back later...
This bracelet is very comfortable, I had to try it out and made sure it passed OSHA standards for safety...didn't want any elastic to break and shoot beads in your eyes...So far, so good...(click first pic for larger image)
I get more done if I just listen to the Tour on my computer while I clean my beads...so - I didn't even bother to turn on my tv this morning...bah...
I have 1 groovy purple bead squeeze bracelet today...and I talked to Corina and Catt and they are working on a 'small squeeze' tool, so I'll be making little squeezes soon...I also ordered the Mini Pillow/Square from Zoozii so I'll be making more of those. The size of the pillows now are just so big that I've just never bothered making them...i prefer the smaller sized beads...This new tool was shipped yesterday...cool!
I also have a prototype tool on its way - Corina emailed asking for my opinion and she's sent one to me to try out. It looks like a cool little tool...Speaking of Corina, she won't let me buy her beads...I tried to buy the Subtle Flowers the other day and this is what she wrote to me: "YOU can make your own damn flowers, even nicer than mine"...well, I doubt THAT!!!

Very, very pretty! I have to ask, where did you get the silver bracelet that's the farthest up your arm in the pic? I just love it!!

that came from James Avery (http://www.jamesavery.com/index.jsp) and ironically it's my Med Alert bracelet. I'm allergic to Penicllin and so I bought this bracelet and had them engrave 'penicillin' on the back. Its much nicer than the ones you find in the grocery store...heh...

Verrry pretty, Donna. Thank heavens the bracelet and earrings are life-threatening. I'm grateful for your OSHA check. By the way, is the second bracelet made from the Corina daily special set that was recently available? If so, I might let you "have it" like she did! :)

the Corina Subtle Stripes bracelet that's pictured was one that I made from beads she sent me in exchange for sending her the Season 6 DVD of Sex and the City...We're both huge fans and I've been keeping her up to date on the show for a few seasons, so when I emailed her the DVD was coming out, she asked me to send her one...and she sent me these beads as payment...I just love them, and wanted the set she had up the other day w/ the flowers, but you see what she told me. Rats!

Ok. I'll let you off the hook for gathering Corina beads. We non-lampwork, unartistic types don't like to share with you talented folks!

By the way, the earwires are really cool. You always make such neat ones!

I was just browsing your site, and was reading the comments. That makes a lot of sense, about your being close to Corina. I have noticed that yall practically make alot of the same beads. Which that is a compliment to be able to produce any of the work out of passing the flame.
