These are a bit flamboyant for my personal tastes, but still, they are amazing: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5008575573&ssPageName=MERC_VI_RSCC_Pr4_PcY_BID_Stores -- Marisa (AU/NZ) http://www.galleryvittoria.com She said, as she admired her bracelet, "Who needs the fellas...

Today on the way home from a day-trip (back to the beach!) we drove through an awesome thunderstorm. And once through it I glanced out my window and saw one of the most amazing sights in my life! First you have to realize that the land between home and the Gulf of Mexico is actually a few feet...

I always have beads up on eBay, at least I try to keep a few up on eBay at all times. I have two sets of turtle beads and I've been trying to make some large beads as requested. Later this evening I'll have a pretty little blown vessel along with tile and lentil set. http://snipurl.com/e499

I was whining the other day about how crappy I was feeling after doing a major change in medication and how my hands were shaking so badly. I was afraid there for a while that I wouldn't be able to do any more beading -- or any other crafts. The feeling was a bad as if I were going blind. I was...

Happy 4th of July everyone! I am on the road so this will be quick! Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying their holiday (in the US at least!). I have some focals up on eBay right now and hope you enjoy taking a look. They are made with complex canes (Thanks Kalera for the suggestion to do...

Yep... one of those thankfully rare but really painful, crippled mornings, no big deal, just have a Dr. Pepper and vicodin breakfast and don't make plans to accomplish very much... My wonderful g'son Austin helps a lot and makes a game of doing things for gamma... like opening the door and getting...

Tomorrow afternoon, my long-lost high school (and after) best friend is coming to stay for three days. We haven't seen each other in 27 years, and that was a brief coffee date. We haven't REALLY seen each other in more like 30 years, when we were roommates. I had a dream about her in February...

Hi, As you probably heard, Sandra Day O'Connor just resigned from the Supreme Court. This is an extremely important time for our senators to hear from us. They need to know that we are counting on them to stand up to President Bush and protect our rights -- because with a moderate like O'Connor...

Hi everyone, I think I forgot to post here that I have a new set of beads up at eBay. http://snipurl.com/fy3u

I'm so excited! My first "real" website! I was going for a clean look with easy navigation. No shopping cart yet, and I'll add pictures of my new studio space once it's finished. But it's a start, and it up and working. I would love to know what you think. http://www.art-insomnia.com

Hi, I weave bracelets on a bead loom (my bracelets appeared on the June cover of Bead + Button) and I've been thinking of "upgrading" from the basic wooden loom I use to a Mirrix loom - the small Laniloom (unlike other Mirrix looms it doesn't have a shedding device). I like the idea that...

Hello everyone: A quick note Flora, ending tonight. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5008891814&rd Also a bead that Kalera's discussion of her trip to Mt. St. Helens inspired in the thread started by Sooz awhile...

Hi I'm making some beaded lanyards on leather cord of various thicknesses. The kind of thing you hang a security access device/card from at the office. Anyway, I'm having trouble finding the very large metal crimps you see on commercially available lanyards - applied, they are at least 10-15mm...

One of my glass customers told me her eBay ID and I had to check out her stuff; only been torching for four months and check out these sexy tubes! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=34070&item=5009863733 She mentioned that she just took a class from Anne of AMR and I...
