Update and run..
Busy day today...burning metal, then BlueMoon, then errands, then work...
On a good note, I picked up some tiny paint brushes (18/0!) last night to paint the copper beads with...I was told very politely that the large swaths of copper paint on the lentils weren't very nice, and that I should do more detailed work...so, taking a cue, I'm going to try some detail work...I rather LIKE the large swaths of copper, and the reaction I got at the show on Sunday was positive, but then again these ARE just practice beads, I am still in practice-mode, so perhaps I can do better...my next goal is to make more large beads, cause I'm just about out of my current stock...so this evening - organics and mega-lentils...
I was busy yesterday, didn't get any pics posted..sometimes real life does happen to me, believe it or not...its not like I'm just sitting around w/ my finger in my ear wondering what to do next...as much as you would ENJOY that visual, I'm sure..ha...but yes, I really do have a life, I really am busy and things are going on here all the time...sometimes faster than I can keep up with them...
All the beads are GONE, Nancy did a great job yesterday shipping everything...I have a few folks doing some testing on the fumed beads for me- depending on their feedback, I will see how I feel about selling them, or somehow re-engineering them so they won't wear off..i've been wearing a bracelet and pendant myself and for the most part its all in good shape...however, I don't wear them every day, but then I do tend to change up the jewelry I wear, so its not the same old thing..so, my thoughts are- if you bought a piece of fumed glass and wore it occasionally, it'd probably last for a good long time...but I'll feel better with some feedback and I have some great testers who will help me out...
Oh yeah and with 55 votes in so far, 70% of ya'll want a daily update...that clears things up for me...(people have looked at me wide-eyed when I told them I update daily - they think I'm insane, so I wanted to know if it was overkill, was I wasting my time, or did you really want a daily update...) but I do like to have at least 100 folks votes, so if you haven't voted yet, feel free...
Ok then, I gotta eat my bagel and get going...back later, with pics I hope...groovy tunes...

pffft. what do "they" know anyway....I LOVE your electroformed lentils!!! Nice and shiny, really rich, slightly industrial feel (speaks of the dance floor in a noisy club...). I can see it hanging off a heavy patterned, oxidized chain....
Keep at it! I love 'em!!!!
