Hi everyone! I'm still pretty pooped from all the fun I had at GlassStock, but I'm finally starting to feel a little more rested. Don't have lots of new beadies up on eBay this week, but I do have a few. Hope you'll check 'em out....

I've got a new page up about how to use dingbats in creating art for use as transfers, silkscreens, or turning into Ready Stamp's rubber and matrix tray sets for use with polymer clay in making BEADS....or whatever! read it all he http://www.polyclay.com/dingbats.htm -- Sarajane's Polyclay...

My mother-in-law passed this evening, at about 4:45p The family had all gathered at the hospice to to visit. We were sitting in the sitting area of the room when someone noticed that Mom had opened her eyes. We all gathered around, and I fetched the nurse. Fifteen minutes later, Mom stopped...

Corina is putting out a new publication, and while the focus is on teachers, she is accepting ads from jewelry designers, lampwork artists, and suppliers. It looks like it's going to be really cool! http://www.flameguide.com/ -- -Kalera http://www.beadwife.com

As hubby and I were leaving the house to go to a meeting this evening, we stopped to get the mail. My package from Kalera had arrived! I bought one of her awesome Geode beads last week and it had finally gotten here. I was so excited I opened it up right in the car. I took it out of the pretty...

I was watching Conan O'Brien tonight and saw Samuel L Jackson say that he would like a jacket with a seed bead lapel. A dark jacket with dark beads in a Native American kind of pattern. How cool would it be to see an RCBer do that for him? Email Conan to get the jacket... bead it all up.......

Hope you have a spectacular day. -- ---------- Barbara www.penguintrax.com eBay & Justbeads:penguintrax 0

My rectifier seems to be toast. I was thinking it had just blown a fuse, but nope, it seems to be fuse-less. It's just... broken. CRAP. Yesterday my main annealer went haywire - I think it's just a relay in the controller, but waaaaahhhh! It still sucks. One more thing to eat up my time....

It's finally here, we're (British Lampwork) in the October B&B with our advert. It's so exciting to know all the work we've done trying to raise the profile of British lampworkers is now really getting its first result with the advert. The people at B&B have been so helpful, and we were thrilled...

Okay, I'm less than thrilled with my kiln. What do you all do when you're making the beads and placing them directly in the kiln? Do you have to separate them from touching each other? If so, how do you do it? I had a bead rack in the kiln but then I found I could get less beads in there than I...

May he travel swiftly and rest well. Chief Justice Rehnquist has passed away.. America is screwed. There will now be at least two hand-picked Bush justices. Goodbye rights of minorities and women, goodbye freedom and privacy.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I'm leaving today for Glass Stock, and will be back on Monday... in the meantime, Breezy is going to be minding the shop, if you need anything. See you later! -- -Kalera http://www.beadwife.com
