AD - BeadDay Night Madness!
How many times can I squeeze a football reference into my weekly
announcements? When will I tire of this terrible joke? Hmmm... it is a mystery! Despite being completely freaking out at the prospect of teaching my first class, I managed to get a lot of beads made last week... Breezy says that I overwork myself when I'm stressed, which makes sense in a backward sort of way. I did have a tremendous amount of fun testing my new student torches, which are Carlisle Minis, and discovering that they handle dichroic beautifuly for some mysterious reason... and that discovery prompted me to make a pile of floral focals, because nothing screams "FLORAL!" to me like dichro! I also went a little nuts with the seashell technique that Dawn taught me, although I didn't break out the boro all week and she's right, it *would* look fantastic in boro. I'm still caught in the throes of infatuation with Luster frits, and they look tooo cool on seashells: http://www.beadwife.com/detail.tpl?ItemID=2895 http://www.beadwife.com/detail.tpl?ItemID=2933 http://www.beadwife.com/?CategoryID=442 I also got a new load of frits from Olympic Color Rods, and some of them are to DIE for, so I played with those a lot and also revisited some of my favorite styles, like Bright Creek and Nebulae, as well as making some teeny bracelet-sized luster seashell sets and my favorite this week, a glowy deep-red set with metallic raised scrolls: http://www.beadwife.com/detail.tpl?ItemID=2884 http://www.beadwife.com/detail.tpl?ItemID=2928 Sets: http://www.beadwife.com/?CategoryID=31 Pairs: http://www.beadwife.com/?CategoryID=728 I also put up some dichro cab sets: http://www.beadwife.com/?CategoryID=143 Breezy has been doing some AWESOME work with retro colors and quirky designs: http://www.beadwife.com/detail.tpl?ItemID=2880 Breezybeads: http://www.beadwife.com/?CategoryID=737 Thanks for looking, have a great week! -- -Kalera http://www.beadwife.com |

I've always loved dichroic work, but I didn't really understand how

the BOMC beads happened to be perfect for me this month. I got three of
those with my last purchase, and they go oh so well with a top I bought last month. I'm going to make a necklace out of them to wear with it. -Amber. |
I swear, I love your beads more every week. if I'm not careful, I'm
going to start twitching like a crack addict every monday morning, waiting for new beads to go up. -Amber. |
Thanks, Paulette! I manage to always make more than I think I made... I
don't think I know how to rest, LOL! Paulette Insall wrote: I was just over at your site looking around at all the new goodies! My goodness you have been cranking the beads this week girl!
