New Kitty... Some murrini, and lots of rain this week!

My goodness, it has been a while.. the biggest news which has NOTHING to do with glass or beads.. Has to do with the little white furry thing in these pictures.. his name is oliver..
He was found wondering the road ways in our town.. effords where made to find his owner. No luck, so we adopted him.. Such a sweet addition to our family! ah heck.. I'll come back next week to share the murrini's I made for a wet canvas exchange.. I think Oliver and max should have front page! lol..


He's such a cutie with his orange tail and ears.. and those electric blue eyes..

His little special pillow.. fluffy dog.....

Whats going on in studio this week?

I've joined an Murrini exchange.. such fun to try new things. These are created to add to beads as a design element in a glass bead... a huge gather of glass is created with a design in mind... then when you are ready.. or just plan tired (in my case) you pull this gather.. in to a cane of glass.. the goal is to have this "wonderful " design! My efforts where less than expected.. but thats ok.. this is what being creative is all about. The effort and the time spent are for a good cause... and its all about the learning, and creativity.... So here are my first attempts... certainly not my last attempts.. I will at my next torching session I will "test " drive these murrini's to see what they look like... and will post the pictures here... now don't laugh to loud.. ok? I'm still learning.. :-)

Just some pictures of recent beads sold..
