I'm out of control..
As you can see from the photo, I spent yesterday making MORE beads for grinding...What is going on you ask? Well, I've taken all these groovy classes and haven't DONE anything with the techniques, so I'm just playing at the torch and having fun...Will I ever make small sets of beads again? You betcha...
I even have a color palette pulled and sitting next to me at the torch, but I've been having so much fun exploring the faceting aspect that I haven't made the set..In fact I have LOADS of color ideas for sets, its just a matter of getting to them...so don't worry...
Yesterday's beads took me about an hour per bead to make, so its not like I wasn't at the torch..I started at 10:00am yesterday, which as you know is unheard of for me - typically I'm lucky if I start by 3:00pm, its normally around 5:00pm and I tend to go till midnight or later...but I like to take advantage of when the mood hits, and so I jumped in...Today I want to get at least the 2 smallest beads ground down/faceted cause they'll go the fastest...I have a class at 7:00pm tonight (making wire clasps) and then I have to get prepared for jury duty tomorrow, blah blah, so faceting is the only thing I'll have time for today..but Brian is going to Dallas for a Star Wars thing on Sat, so I'll be home all day (mowing, probably) and able to get back on the torch...don't you love just knowing every in and out of my day? good grief...
I have just finished adding ALL the flowers to my little perennial bed and gave them a good drink of water...I'll go get a few pics once they've dried off and the sun has come out...not everything is in bloom yet, but its coming...I added the Celosia this morning and really like the texture of it...super groovy...
