Is there a sun? What does it look like?
AHA! The sun has poked out, the rain has stopped and I snuck out and snapped a few photos..Unfortunately, the only one that came out decent were of the Shimmery Lentil...I made this last night using shards I blew while demoing on Sunday, and I'm really happy with the results...a few reducing frits give the bead a nice metalic sheen, the overall colors are purple and green...At least there's a pic up for you to enjoy...i'll get the rest of the stuff reshot as soon as it settles down outside a bit...
I heard at one time there was a bright orange light in the sky that would warm your face when you looked toward it...is that true? Where did that bright light go...? On the bright side, we now have a pond in our backyard where there was none...And we'll have kick ass Bluebonnets in March from all the rain today...
Tonight I'm dragging Brian to the Alamo Drafthouse downtown to watch a Bill Hicks retrospective movie...My alltime favorite comedian, he died 10 years ago from cancer...I was lucky enough to see him 3 times live in Austin and thought he was brilliant...He's not everyone's taste, but I sure like him...I'm not sure Brian knows what he's in for...
I made beads all day yesterday...some for eBay, some for Andrea's gallery, some for my 'mega' eBay customer (Sue) and some just for fun...Lemme dig them outta the kiln and take inventory to see if there's anything for ya'll...if not, I'll see what I can do today...I have nothing to do all day but make beads and stay dry...at least the towel I put down at the dog door yesterday has stemmed the flow of water from making the studio another wading pool this morning...considering its been raining on and off thru the night and I woke up to a nice downpour this morning...Why do I have a sudden urge to go eat sushi??

Hi Donna,
I love your shimmery lentil. The shards are so beautifully transparent. It turned out wonderful!
Happy beading,
Robin

Beautiful Lentil! The best one yet. They just keep getting better. I love the subtle colors.
Keep your Wellies on til the rain stops!
Take care,
Susan Cleaves

Enjoy your sunshine. We don't usually see if for a few months during winter. Raining in Oregon today...and tomorrow...and everyday until February probably. We learn to love it.
