Beading MOJO

Oh my goodness, I had the BEST torch session tonight!!!! I had great bead MOJO on all the beads I made!! I love it when that happens...its not frequent enough!
Anyway, I really hope the bad bead fairy does not show up during the night and change out the beads that are in my kiln right now!!! It is hard to tell how a bead will look when you are done with it at the torch and put it away into the kiln...you dont really know how the colors will look until in the morning because hot glass does not always look like cold glass. I really hope that when I open that kiln tomorrow those beads look like I imagine they will :) :) :)

I have been working with a wonderful reactive glass from double helix. It is not my first time to work with this glass, but I think I am finally forming a working relationship with it :) It's very very very tricky to use...you have to put it into the flame JUST right and cross your toes and look a little side ways for it to work, but I think we have come to an agreement....all will be known tomorrow. If I am sulking then you know we have not yet decided to see eye to eye...but my better judgement (okay...it might be the Sam Adams :)) tells me that we have finally found out how to work together (when I say "we" I mean me and this tempermental yet wonderful glass)
Until then.... cross your fingers, your toes, and anything else you may be able to get into that position :)....

I will post pics tomorrow...whether it be a celebration or pathetic sad day :)
Until then.....have a wonderful evening!!!

Carey (aka crazy bead lady)....yep that's right mom...the apple did not fall far :)
