AD: Desert Dreamer New Auctions
Hi all! Just a quickie because it's late and I'm recovering from a
depressing movie. (The Life of David Gale). Moral: Accept no substitutes for Chicago!. Anyway....I've got new beads and a few last recycled sets up on Ebay and Justbeads. Possibly a bit too much purple for some folks' taste, but there will be new colors and patterns & stuff with the next batch. I have a fresh tank of oxygen and lots of ideas brewing. Anyone still interested in the Japanese-style foiled beads? I'm thinking of silver foil with ocean colored frit melted on top. I actually had a dream about it last night. Wanted to cry when I started my torch and there was no oxy left. Gah! (Note to self: regulators indicate how much is left. Doh!) -- KarenK Desert Dreamer Designs http://members.cox.net/desertdreameraz/ Ebay Sto http://www.stores.ebay.com/desertdreamerdesigns JustBeads: http://www.justbeads.com/search/ql.cfm?s=DesertDreamer |

What beads are these?
They're a vintage Japanese bead, I'll betcha Carol or Becki have some stashed away. They were sort of almond-shaped, base of white or black, wrapped in silver foil then rolled in rainbow-colored or matched colors of transparent frit. I remember a strand someone had on Ebay that was all blues and greens. The frit sticks over the foil and gets melted down partially, so it looks like mirror backed splashes of color. I've seen some that had swirls of color over the silver, and some that look like sugared gumdrops. -- KarenK Desert Dreamer Designs http://members.cox.net/desertdreameraz/ Ebay Sto http://www.stores.ebay.com/desertdreamerdesigns JustBeads: http://www.justbeads.com/search/ql.cfm?s=DesertDreamer |

and my regulator LIED --- thought I had at least 1/3 of a tank - torch was
"dead" went out - and smacked the regulator - needle dropped to zero... it was stuck...!!!! I feel your pain! My propane regulator is like that. Now I use my bathroom scale to figure out how much is left. -- KarenK Desert Dreamer Designs http://members.cox.net/desertdreameraz/ Ebay Sto http://www.stores.ebay.com/desertdreamerdesigns JustBeads: http://www.justbeads.com/search/ql.cfm?s=DesertDreamer |

I don't worry about propane - as you can get it 24 hrs a day, 365 days a year... and i can do it in 20 minutes. When it goes out -I get a new tank.... pronto! But Oxygen - that requires the welding place be open - and a longer trip.... Cheryl of A HREF="http://www.dragonbeads.com" DRAGON BEADS /A Flameworked beads and glass http://www.dragonbeads.com/ |
