Bendy Beads are very groovy baby, yeah...
UPDATE: just got back from Cingular, we have our very cool phones and the dude who helped was fabulous...my new phone lets me update my website and read email...I logged onto my site and saw my beads on my phone - it was awesome to have it mobile...I still have to learn how to update it (there's a built in QWERTY keyboard with it), so now I'll have no excuse not to update when I travel domestically...rock on.
So, remember me saying I had something new to tell you? Jim at BlueMoon has these neato tools that let you bend beads, and I sent him a bunch and he sent me the pics of what he's done...You set the bead in the kiln, bring it up the temp, and use the device to bend the hot bead into a slight curve...perfect for bracelets or watches...these are pics he sent of the beads 'in action'...very neato...I'll see them in person later, and these were just practice, so I'll make more and offer them..kinda groovy, huh..
Yesterday was a big day for us - we closed on our house in Austin...its now in the hands of a new dude who will renovate it and make it completely awesome...it all happened pretty fast, he bought it with cash which moved things along quickly...we're glad to have it sold in this housing slowdown, although I will say that Austin hasn't been hit with the slowdown like the rest of the country has...things are still pretty inexpensive here, folks are flocking here and houses are moving...I'm sure it'll slow down eventually - all the better that we won't have to worry about it...
