What are you all working on?

I'm working on a bead embroidered purse. There is no real theme to it, but
it sticks to a color scheme of black and purple (and iris) and has at least
one heart on each panel. Originally I thought that I could get away with no
hand sewing (other than the beading), but now that I've actually started
constructing it I think I'm mistaken. Ah well, it should be pretty when it's
done, if I do it correctly. I've got about half of the beading done. Here's
a Work In Progress pic:
http://www.valeriebeads.com/panel1copy.jpg

I've already got an idea for the next purse/bag, although I haven't yet
thought of the purse shape and construction. ;-) Too bad these things take
so looong to make. I mean, they take about as long as any seed beaded piece,
but lately I just haven't had the concentration to sit long than a half...oh
look at the pretty butterflies...

So lets see your project(s)!

I will be working on fused glass for awhile. I bought two molds, one
for smallish (10) rounds and one for drop shapes. I plan on using frit
and then combining the rounds as the stud part of the earring and then
hanging a drop from it with those small earring bales. When I get
some done, I'll post them on my website.

Other than that, I'm not going to be doing any more shows - sales are
low here and there's a lot of stuff I want to do for Christmas and
stuff for ME. I'm also teaching beading classes more and I enjoy
that.

Oh, and what I've been working on:

My first time at herringbone:

And some more maille earrings. These are smaller than they look in the
photo, and boy were they a bear!

Thanks Shirley! I really am enjoying the bead embroidery. I could possibly
open doors to regular embroidery, but I need another hobby/obsession like I
need another hole in the head. ;-) Although I'm *sure* you don't know what
I'm talking about do you?? wink wink

Patti it sounds lovely! Be sure to post in here too when you have something
to show.

Sales seem to be slow everywhere...sigh. I haven't done a show since I
last did one with Linda2 when I lived in FL. In a way I miss them; despite
the hassle it was fun (plus I got to hang with Linda!).

Jerri, the herringbone is beautiful!! I still haven't tackled herringbone
yet.

What size are the rings in the earrings?
