And it isn't full!!! So I get to take a week-long PMC class. Yee...

I'm really green (inexperienced) about beading. I've been lurking for a couple of weeks now an am blown away with the techniques and selection of beads. I've visited some sites with wonderful finished work and some sites with very beautiful and expensive beads. I have "some" craft quality beads...

I'm updating it a little, and I always go over it to see if I can clean it up a bit too. I'm amazed by how much is on there! And all from the experts here on RCB! There's Marketing....Photographing.....Books....Ndebele Instructions.....Travel (stores).....Glue......Pickling....Plier...

Yeah! Oh! That Elegant Amber is wonderful. And it reminds me of the play on a color theme you like to do. I'd love to see you do that with clear lavender and ink blue with black and clear. ~~ Sooz -------

Ok, I have posted a few new faces on eBay and JustBeads. And I will be adding more bit by bit throughout the next week or two. Some new faces are made in a really rugged looking ancient ivory, and bone w/subtle gold flecks. Also I have some faux turquoise and more decorated art doll faces going up...

Here are pics of my Bacchus bracelet (so called because in this setting the garnets look like luscious little grapes) using a new clasp. I think it finishes the piece neatly and is comfortable to wear, ties in nicely with the Bali silver and I like anything that allows me to use more beads as...

I hit send too quickly... I also meant to mention that only a tiny amount would probably be used in a bead, unless one were to seal them in a vessel. -- Tinkster www.imeltstuff.com NEW eBay Sto http://www.stores.ebay.com/blackswampglassworks Join my Mailing List:

I tell you either I'm getting slower or time is moving faster (personally I vote for the time/faster concept!) because I can't believe how long it's been since I've peeked in (or should I say PEEPed in) to say hi! Gadzooks, I even missed PEEP season this year (oh no!) I made a very cursory attempt...

I can't tell you how excited I am about all this! I don't say much about it, but I admit I think about it several times during the day. Detroit is just a stone's throw from me, so my good vibes should still be fairly undiluted by the time they get there. LOL! -- Tinkster www.imeltstuff.com NEW...
