Okay, gang, the darn OxyCon has arrived (it actually came Saturday but our lazy PO, which is 1 block away from my house, didn't deliver it -- I had to go pick it up today) and I attached all the hoses and read all the instructions. I opened the O2 valve on the torch to do the 5 minute pre-test,...

I was really really behind, but then my newsreader decided to mark everything read (why, I don't know) so I only had 11 new messages. So I missed a lot, but I'm caught up now at least... -- -Kalera http://www.beadwife.com

Still smoky from wild fires. Just a few days ago, I could even see the smoke hanging in the air within the house. Unfortunately, the winds that blew out the smoke and cleaned up the air also brought a light frost. No real damage, just some leaves yellowed and withered, like on the tomatoes. And...

Hi Y'all, I've listed four new auctions tonight. I made some homemade silvered ivory frit that produces a really cool granite looking effect and I used it in two of the sets. There's also a nice set of large squeezed beads with swirling raku and a set of seashells in aqua and white. I'd have to...

I often see threads and links about the new color/style trend for the upcoming season and it makes me wonder.... If you're not selling to a department store or a show out in the future, does it really work for you to get a jump on it now? The reason it makes me wonder is because I've tried to...

I'm new to beading and confused. I just bought a cord and coil ends. I understand that you need to feed the cord into the coil end and then "smash" the end of the coil down. Am I a wimp? I tried smashing the end with beading pliers and even some more heavy duty tools in my husband's tool box -...

I'm a beginning beader. I've been successfully making earrings for my own use, but now I want to make bracelets. A complication is that my dominant hand is partially paralyzed, so that leads to two problems. (1) I can't work a clasp with either hand. The frustration goes beyond annoying. (2)...

I'm still not recovered from my week in Chicago, but I'm already preparing for my upcoming week in Pennsylvania. Eek! I've put a few new pieces on my site today. Of note is this frosted hollow bead with riveted caps incorporating sterling silver and anodized...
