Almost there

Have been working on getting stuff together for the Bead Bazaar and making sure I have pen and paper for taking notes at all the presentations given by the different artists.

No new pictures to put up - would rather be making beads but brunt my left thumb and fore finger trying to catch a mandrel falling out of the 950 degree kiln - not so good.  Put an end to bead making for the day and into next week.  Good news, no blisters - got it under cool water for 15 minutes.

But will have lots when I get back! I am getting excited!

Bead Unique Magazine, Summer 2010

I have been remiss in posting this. When I first scanned it in, it think it was before the computer died and had to be replaced, when they copied the hard drive some things didn't "translate" well. Then I lost the magazine - found it again so here's the picture of my "Luna Vessel" - one of my favorites.

So if you have the summer issue, you'll find my work in the gallery section.

ISGB Gathering, Rochester, New York

I am excited to be attending the Gathering in Rochester. It's been at least 3 year since I attended my last one in Minneapolis. Am looking forward to the presentations and of course all the tech vendors with all their goodies but I have to be good since we're headed to Murano, Italy in September...

At any rate, by beadie buddy Joy Cichewicz and I will be sharing a table at Saturday's Bead Bazaar. Know I will be at the torch until Tuesday trying to get that last bead made!

Am working on a "sea shore" theme. I think I'm stuck and I guess I have to work through it. The starfish necklace turned out nicely I think... it's available at the Lawrence Street Gallery, Ferndale, MI - www.lawrencestreetgallery.com
