Last Christmas I got my sister a few beads and a basic beading book. Well as some of you know she is inundated in children during the day (she's got twins, a singleton and she childminds) so she hasnt really done anything with it. This month I got a damaged copy of Bead & Button and when they...

I've never done anything with polymer, but have a couple of pieces that I've either bought or received as a gift. I wanted to try something, where I wanted some silver in the clay. Can I just bake the clay with the silver in it? I'm assuming that after it's done, it's too hard to be able to get...

Hey guys! I've missed you so much lately. I have a couple of auctions ending today and if I feel any better later I'll add some new items that were inspired by my Jennifer Geldard class, including a couple of buttons and a star bead. A Rose - Sparkly Gaffer Glass created the rose and accent...

I've been wanting to do a silver core bead ever since I saw Susan Silvy's work for the first time. With Donna's help, I've been gathering the necessary stuff and reading up on things like annealing and pickling (remember the question I asked here recently?). If you get a chance, take a peek at my...

What do you think of memory wire to mount lampwork beads? Denise

Ok, I'm stumped. I'm stringing some necklaces, and have some teardrop shaped, faceted crystals, and I'm using fireline. I don't care for the look I'm getting, as if the fireline is "showing" too much where the "point" of the teardrop is, since the "point" doesn't butt up against the next bead in...

well, tomorrow is a big day. I am going with two of my friends who have a) an interest in getting into glass making big time, b) a room they just redid with fireresistant drywall and great lighting, and c) a desire to buy a kiln and supplies and we will go over to Boulder's D&L Glass. We are going...

I was laughing so hard DH had to pat me on the back. I have relatives like that. :-) -- Starlia Klopman www.klopmanstudios.com "Kathy N-V" wrote in message ...

LMAO I thought I was alone in that! My twin brothers are worse than me, though. When they were kids, they would plop down on the floor in the grocery store and "face" the shelves. Mom would literally have to drag them from aisle to aisle to get any shopping done. Mike liked doing the canned...

I told everyone your name, and that you lived in WA state, but you...

Very pretty, Vicki!! You're doin' good!! :) Anna W. in Tx "vj" wrote in message ... you wanted to see what i was going to do with those 'Andean Opal Matrix' leaves i bought at the gem show:

My children received a rather large box today, from Debbie in NM. It was full of books and jackets for them, as well as some pretties for me--one of which was a striking light catcher to hang in my window:) Right now, both kids are camped out in the living room, pouring over their new goodies:) ...

While on a mad hunt for a ring I recently lost, I stumbled across part of my gemstone collection that I packed away ages ago due to lack of space. I was a rockhound as a child, and crystals were the first thing I ever really collected, and collect them I did quite extensively. When we first moved...

Vicki, that is gorgeous. I would be proud to wear that. Shirley In message , vj writes you wanted to see what i was going to do with those 'Andean Opal Matrix' leaves i bought at the gem show:
