Orrbs alert
I was hoping to get some beads made for ya'll today, but my head is killing me, so i'm retiring early and will be up and ready to go tomorrow...the cold Canada air has hit us, its fabulous, but I also think it's blown something really neato in as well, and I typically get sick when the temps start changing from hot to 'not so hot'...it never gets 'brrrr cold' here in Texas...I heard the other day that we are on the same lattitude as Cairo Egypt..is it any wonder its so hot here...thank goodness for Canada sharing their cool air with us..and I feel for ya'll in Salt Lake City who got pummeled with snow...I can't imagine what that's like right now...
My Orrb presses arrived yesterday, so after I finished another set I was working on, I gave one of the presses a run around the block...its a pretty cool tool, I DO like the shape that it creates, but I had a bit of a learning curve before getting the right shape from it..It reminded me of when I first got the Squeeze press, the beads I made with it were so wrong that I had to email Corina and ask what I was doing...once I realized I had to make round beads and not 'donut' shaped beads, it all started to fall into place...so after about 5 or 6 'mistakes', I think I got it going...I ran out of time to make more sets, but I have the rods and stringer pulled and will be working on those today...

Way to go Donna! These look incredible - and a fantastic neutral color scheme, too. Glad you got one of these presses and can't wait to see more of these from you!
