Here’s a set of my latest little beadies! They are the Jack-o-lantern gang!
And I have some pumpkins too…
Here’s the whole gang! Some of these little buddies are cracked (yeah, they are glass…) so sadly they will stick around in the beady bin rather than make it into earrings or bracelets but they are still pretty cute!
And I have a few more still getting showered and cleaned up for their photo shoot. Thought I would share these for now. What do you think?
I have to tell you a bit about my class at Blue Moon Glassworks here in Austin. This place ranks number two on my favorite places to be! (Home is number one, of course!) Jim and Rose are the sweetest folks on the planet! Corina is an amazing person. She’s an incredible artist and a terrific teacher. The class was beyond fun. I won’t go into too much detail but I really feel like my skills improved dramatically in the two days with such a wonderful mentor. I learned a lot…most of which consisted of correcting some things I was doing wrong. We made some pretty cool beadies and I will post them soon. I need to take some pictures.
I will be posting something for the Fourth of July celebration so check back here tomorrow or over the weekend. Also, my posts in the coming week may be few and far between. We are taking a much needed vacation to an exotic place in the north part of the USA called Minnesota. (yes, I am packing a sweater!) We just might have to post something fun from the week…we will see. Could be fun…
Have a wonderful and safe Holiday weekend!
Just as I promised…
Here are some of my beads!
Hi, I just have to tell you that I am slightly scatterbrained. I am taking a class this weekend and I am pretty giddy about being able to be in this class.
You see, I make glass beads. I started making glass beads about a year and a half ago. Well, that’s not EXACTLY true. Truth is, I took my first glass bead making class about a year and a half ago. So most of what I have made up to this point couldn’t really be characterized as anything but practice. I mean, this is not a full time thing for me. I have some nice beads, but I am really still learning. So…the class…
Corina Tettinger is an amazing artist. I am beyond excited to meet her. She is teaching the class this weekend. My class…I get to take a class from Corina! *happy dance* Corina made some beads while teaching in Maui a couple years ago which is what really kick-started me on this journey. Being able to take a class from her is amazingly exciting and a bit intimidating at the same time.
I am scatterbrained because I have a lot to do this week and also really need to spend some quality time with my torch…you know…to practice.
I will take some pictures of some recently completed beads and post them tonight. Really, I will. I promise.
Beyond that…I can’t tell you what to expect!
