You shook me all night long
Well, we couldn't find a faucet we liked, so we came home empty handed..but the day has been action-packed since then...Andrea Guarino recommended a friend to come over to my house and see about renting some studio time (she's new to Austin), so we did the whole studio-tour thing..she makes amazing beads, I can't wait to get some pics and show them...they were the size of baseballs! (practically)..Really cool! And then a friend bought a house just one street over, so he and Brian were hanging out, doing the Star Wars toys thing, and visiting the new house (he hasn't moved in yet)...So, its been busy busy busy...but now things are quieting down and I finally got some pics shot of the 'weird but loveably cool' things I've been experiencing at my torch the past few evenings...enjoy!
Up till 3:00am, actually even later, but I don't like to think about how late i was *really* up...and why...oh how I love me some Halloween hoodlumns...more on that later...
I was playing with the Morrocan beads, making a squeeze bracelet, and I have a pic to show ya'll what the beads look like BEFORE they go into the kiln...an entirely different look and feel..but there is a price to be paid for non-annealing the beads, and I'll tell ya about it when I get back....
right now we are going to buy a new sink faucet...our old one is needing replacing and we want to go with stainless steel to match our other knobs and pulls in the kitchen...I'm still a bit sleepy but its gorgeous outside and there's lots to do today, so I better chop chop...more when I return...Longhorns 2:30pm on ABC...they better beat Colorado, Katie!! Hook 'Em!

Donna, those Morocco Orrbs are absolutely gorgeous! I know what you mean about the glass doing the old switcharoo-in-the-kiln on you. The blue set is fantastic - the variations in the blues and purples is just beautiful! Sure would be nice to know how to keep them that way. Ah, sweet mystery of life!
