Quick Picks...
FAQ! FAQ! I have put up a new FAQ, please read through it and give me feedback...what didn't I cover? submit questions anytime you want...this will be a 'living' FAQ meaning I'll be updating it as often as ya'll have questions...this only took me a million years to get done...(sigh)
10:37 Well, that was quick and painless - didn't have to deny anyone the set they wanted....
I have lots of errands and chores to do today...if I'm lucky I'll get beads made, but I just don't know...it depends on what gets done...and how nice for me- my cat kept me up howling last night (he's 15 and the older he gets, the more complaining he does, especially at 4:00am)...so I feel rather groggy...BUT, i'm getting ready to pull out R2D2 (our Wet/Dry vac that looks like the robot from Star Wars) and vacuum the studio...that should wake me up and make me sneeze all at once...wish me luck...back later...
10:30 Ooo...I'm on time today! Enjoy...
I have a whopping 2 sets for ya'll today..I was busy taking care of business (like shipping pendants and previous pickings - sometimes that takes a while) and when I finally got to make beads, I got these guys made, but then I could tell the wheels were starting to come off... the last 3 beads I *tried* to make all screwed up and I really did throw one of the mandrels across the room...ooo..frustration! my friends laugh when I tell them that I do that - they think I'm mild and friendly but when good glass goes bad, well, someone has to teach it a lesson...and mandrel tossing is one of my favorites...(I stepped on the remnants of the bead this morning and it felt good to crunch the glass...bad little bead...).
Oh - when will I post these? by 10:30 or 11:00am...come by at 10:30 and see if I'm ready...CST...

Those are pretty beads! But you know I can't buy
any more from you until you do some enamel ones--
not sure whether this is a promise or a threat,
but the budgetmaster is clear on the point!

The Budgetmaster does not make threats, it makes promises...'you will not buy these beads, because I will only allow you to buy the beads you need'...you must obey the budgetmaster or Guiltmaster and MoneySqueezer move in and then ain't nobody happy...

I notice, prowling the auctions on eBay, that the
raku frit which has been attracting so much
attention now comes in a powder form too--my
budgetmaster says that would count as enamel...
certainly makes for some interesting effects!

i happen to have a whole range of Raku frit sizes, from powder to frit to chunk..so far i've only used the frit (size 1) and pulled 2 stringers...but I have plans to try them all out and see what chaos occurs...will definitely keep you aprised of my results, budgetmaster...
