Yea! Beads are NOW ready...
Nearly 3:00pm CST...The beads seem to be READY, go take a look and see what you think...I tried to give ya'll plenty of pics in sun and shade, there are sizes listed for the nuggets and lentils, and as always if you have questions, please lemme know...If you've ordered previously, its the same drill...if not, there are instructions or shoot me an email and I'll 'splain...Hope ya'll like what's listed, I am enjoying seeing them on my desk right now...rock on!!
I had a good day at the torch yesterday as well as the past few days...The beads look good, they're cleaned and somewhat organized...I need to get them shot, etc, so look for them to be posted sometime this afternoon...
If you were curious as to what color scheme I'm doing this time, I've had it planned since November, actually...since its chilly, wintery (unless it's 70 where you are), I chose the English Tweed colors - ivory, cocoa, khaki, charcoal gray and a touch of black, with plenty of shiny goldness...I think you'll like them...And another nice new surprise are the nugget beads...nice size and shape, plenty of surface area for decorating...but I have lots of lentils as well, so maybe you'll find a combo that you enjoy...we'll see!
I was lucky enough to catch Jim and Rose at BlueMoon last night and picked up some Ivory and Light Brown glass, as well as some of these new Vetrofond rods...they are a filligrana, meaning there is a core of one color surrounded by a transparent of a different color...Jim had melted and pressed some to show how they blend into really pretty colors...i bought some of the darker greens/browns (as Brian said "Oh look, Donna colors") since I don't DO red/orange/yellow beads...its like I always say, 'I only make what I wanna wear'...if I make yellow beads and they don't sell, then I'm stuck with them...If I make organic beads and they don't sell, I'll wear them! See, I ain't so stoopid!! I may just fire up the torch this afternoon and see what happens with them..and maybe i'll go into town and pick up a few more sticks of colors...ya just never know...
Ok then, I best get to work...time to get crackin', Grommit!
