Been A Loooong Time!
Wow, it's a miracle! I can finally get back on newsgroups again.
Some of you might remember me (Hi Becki!!!!), I'll probably be new to lots of you. I'm Karen, a glass beadmaker (on semi-hiatus), jewelry maker, recovering fiberholic, and relapsing member of the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism, a medieval reenactment group). Thanks to an SCA puzzle, I made an attempt to sign onto newsgroups again tonight. For reasons unknown to me, I haven't been able to achieve that feat in ages. (More than 2 years, and I've tried randomly.) Before I lose it again, I thought I'd pop in and say hi. Hi! I ended up in the hospital last spring with a life-threatening moment (bilateral pulmonary emboli, a/k/a bigass blood clots in my lungs). I was already only partially torching anyway, but my docs told me to avoid the flame for 6 months. So I did, and got involved in other things in the meantime (that's where the SCA comes in). Now I'm finally able to make beads again, but I have all these other (wonderful) distractions, including a terrific DH, a pair of teenagers (almost-19 and 15), and a variety of SCA-related interests like calligraphy, illumination, hand spinning, costuming, and medieval music (I play guitar and recorder). Now I'm researching medieval and renaissance-style beads and figuring out how to make modern copies. Way fun! That's probably enough from me for now. I'll try to remember that this actually works and peek in again. Karen Sherwood Desert Dreamer Designs |

Hello Karen! Wow, really nice to see you post, and hope your health problems
are now behind you. I cannot believe your kids are that old! I hope you can make it back to the group again. Side note to people who are newer to the group: This is one very talented, creative lady; her beads are beautiful. -- Annie acbauer@sbcglobal cast the net to snare me |

Not only does Karen make beautiful beads, she also puts together great
combinations of her lampwork beads and other beads. Getting beads from her is always so great because with her groupings are completely ready to bloom into jewelry, while still leaving lots of room for your own in-put. Karen, I'm glad you're doing well again, and hope we'll see more of you. Tina "Annie Bauer" wrote in message ... Hello Karen!
