Fall is on its way
UPDATE: All the Raku beads have sold, thanks ya'll!! I'll have more beads after class this weekend...
I've put up a page of Raku Squeeze (and round) beads and bracelets..its called "Reluctant Raku" because my plan was to keep these for myself, but man its always hard to do that when I know ya'll would enjoy them as much as me...I've priced them a little higher - the larger crystals are costlier and I figure you are going to have to *really* want these guys...but this frit kicks ass, so how can you not?
Its still 90 today, but by Saturday its going to be in the 70's and we are all psyched around here...yeehaw! thanks my buddies from the North, for sharing your invigorating cool air with us poor souls down here in the crust of the earth...Speaking of which, last night I was majorly geeking out on Nova - their new series called "Origins" talks all about what stars are made of, how our universe came into being, why there might or might not be life on other planets and all things cosmos...I was up till 3:00am making beads and learning that stars are comprised of all the elements on the 'elemental chart'...I used to study that in high school and college and it was never mentioned that stars contain all those elements. I was fascinated..a star is comprised mostly of Hydrogen and Helium, and as it lives and dies, the elements start to form until it gets so heavy, so compressed, that there are no more molecules to share and it explodes...wow...
{coming up for air} I DO have beads today, although they are mostly Raku frit beads...a few rounds, a few matching squeeze bracelets. I'll offer them, but will not be hurt if you decide they aren't your 'thang'...I also have a set that I can show off - its already been spoken for (an order from way back) but you might enjoy just looking at it, i dunno...either way, i'm gonna post it anyway, so just shield your eyes if its too painful for ya...heh...

Donna, are these a special or an ebay auction. No price is showing. I would love a set of those depending on $$. Linda
