New Auctions

I have three new auctions on ebay this week. The "Sea Maiden" Goddess is a tiny one! The "Little Earth" bead has loads of color and a subtle glow to it. The "Caramel Garden" bead would make a lovel focal for a jewelry piece.

Color Combos

Flaming Hot's tips tuesday this week is about color and how you find your color combos. I finally started carrying a notepad with me and jot down color combo's I see while travelling. When really stumped I use the Color Hormony Workbook. Fantastic book!

Presenting it!

The blog topic on Flaming Hot this week is how do you present your work? Normally I do my pictures on a simple white background with natural light. I have to edit them very little after I use this setup!

This week however I am not presenting a darn thing! We laid our dear mare Kinsely to rest on tuesday. My husband, myself and our four legged family are a bit torn up about it all. Here are a couple of pictures of her. One with her daughter Annie and one of her barrel racing.

Joined Flaming Hot...and naming pieces

I joined Flaming Hot a ne site for beadmakers and blogging. It's kinda fun! They have tips and tricks, sell it sundays and commenting on topics. The topic right now is "naming work". The names for my pieces usually just "come to me" often relating to how they look or a feel the evoke. Sometimes I wing it!

Class Update and New Auctions

I spent last weekend in Pt Townsend taking a class with Andrea Guarino, WOW! I had a blast and learnt tons! The silver cored bead in ebay this week is made using the Jim Moore bead press, which we learnt to use in class. I also got the bead press as a B Day Pressy from my fantastic husband!!! The goddess is gold fumed and heavily encased!

New Auctions

I have a couple new auctions up on ebay! I am trying to get lots of torch time in this week. I have a Masters Class with Andrea Guarino next weekend! I am very excited about it. We'll be doing beads, PMC and riviting using Jim Moore's bead liner tool!

What alot of travelling!

Well I am home!! 10 days in Newport for Glass Stock followed by our BCRA rodeo finals feel like alot of travelling.

There are pictures here of Glass Stock, Janine Shea took alot. I had such a fantastic time, learnt tons and hung out with my best buddies! I recommend attending for anyone interested in glass in any way shape or form!

We went to Quesnel for our rodeo finals, the weather was great! Unfortunatly my husband didn't draw all that well and had some horses that just don't score high. he placed second in a round, third in another and bucked off two. We had fun though!!
