A new chat zone
I've *finally* posted all the chainmaille bracelets that I've been making the past few weeks...go see!
I don't frequent Wet Canvas or ISGB chat boards very much cause they are highly addictive and I'll spend hours there doing nothing but reading and before I know it, I've wasted 4 hours...However, there are LOTS of good info out there (I like to use the 'get in, get out' method of searching for what I want, then going on with my business)...The reason I'm talking about this is there was a big bustup over at WC! and the entire glass forum seems to have relocated to a new board called Lampwork Etc...now granted, the whole reason they ended up at WC! to being with was they got miffed at ISGB's rules for posting, and they took their toys and found a new 'wonderful' home at WC!...
and so I guess its time to move again to a new home, and Lampwork Etc. is the new place...so I've updated my link on my site, but don't be surprised if they move yet again..I think that just seems to be the way of the interenet, in order to keep things fresh is to cut loose, pack up and move to a new board..I've seen it with other fan forums, so its not so unusual...I have 0 posts at this new place, but I figured I ought to see what's going on in the world of beadmaking and I see a lot of 'old' friends there like Nicole, Letha and PEtra, so it can't be all bad!!
I did, finally, post some new stuff in the Pickin page...and someone has already found something they wanted...i love waking up and seeing if something has sold- its like Christmas kinda, or like opening the kiln in the morning after a rockin' visit from the Bead Fairy..speaking of which, I see her circling overhead, so I gotta go get some chocolate donuts...I have some brownies, but apparently she can't dunk those in coffee...She's such a freak...meaning, she might make a delivery today or tonight, but she didn't leave anything last night, so I have to lure her down from the sky...hopefully we'll have Happy Labor Day packages awaiting us with bows on them tomorrow...now lemme go get some Chantico from Starbucks - oh wait, thats hot chocolate, well, its the only thing I'll drink from there, so that's what she gets...stupid fairy...

I can't believe how SPEEDY you are with the chainmail, and spirals in 4 hours??!!! My first class was the flat mesh - now I tempted to make the ancients. I think you've inspired me... BTW - luv the addams family beads, boo that they're not for sale. You have a great site - fun and educational; one of my daily "fixes".
PS - isn't Chantico addictive??? PSS - if you have the Starbux VISA card, you can rack up points for FREE coffee purchases and sometimes they add free points, too. So guess how I pay for all my bead-y purchases - LOL!!

oh yeah, i have the Starbucks card, but fortunately I don't get Chanticos but maybe once or twice a month, tops...there's a 24 hour Starbucks in town (probably more than one) and its a drive thru! but I've been really good about not visiting it unless I'm heading to the bead shop next to it...I guess you could say I'm addicted, but its a slow addiction that I can control pretty well...its not the Starbucks Visa, its just a card you can add $ to when it runs dry...that also keeps me in line...
I'll try to make another Addams FAmily bracelet w/out the weird results..in the photo its not too bad, but if you looked at each bead in person, you'd think 'how could she sell that to me?'...i'll do another and it'll be 'sale-worthy' i promise...
