Well thank goodness for the long weekend.  I made a ton of mugs this weekend and got to the bottom of the bead table.  It will be so nice to start back into making jewelry now on my nice clean table.  Better take a look now as it won’t stay like this long!!

Now I am making lamp work beads to go with the great assortment of ceramic beads from Diana Ptaszynski .  Check them out.  I am really enjoying making the little owls.  I’m not sure if I will use it in this set but they are fun just the same.  I have used mostly carnelian glass when gives you this wonderful spectrum of peach to deep rosy colors.  Then the silvered glass gives it a sparkle.

Heart and key

Aren’t they all just a divine color.  I do love them all and can’t wait to make.

The package

gorgeous color what will be inside????

Seems like I have been waiting forever for this magical package…..  Stay tuned for more pictures.  Hope Canada Post rewards Diana soon with my package.

A big thank you to my outstanding team mates today.  Those who helped out at a moments notice each got an owl pendant.  Then some of the participants in the speech-language in service who volunteered to be in front of the class also got feathered glass friends.

Enjoy everyone!

I posted a bunch of fun owl beads today in my etsy shop they have really been fun to make.  I can’t wait to start using them in some “earthy” forest type designs.

The last post didn’t show the backside that I posted so here it is.

I am going to do a monthly bead draw on my blog.  Each month I will post a bead for give away.  If you are interested in winning it just do a comment on the picture and you will be entered for the draw. Here is the month of February’s draw bead (I know I am a couple days early).
