I have been a terrible blogger as usual....so much has happened since my last post...there is simply no way to fill you in completely, but I will touch on the highlights :)

We went to Jamaica in early January and had such a wonderful time!!! If you have never been there..I highly recommend it!

I have not been making beads much in this last month...mainly because "life" has been busy, but I am back at the torch. You dont realize just how much you miss creating until you start up again...

I have 2 sets on ebay right now that are not doing very well at all.....but I am hoping that will change with 2 new sets that I will be listing here in the next day or two. I am so excited about them...they are different from the sets I have made in the past in that I has put my bead presses aside and made them free form....I am quite proud of them and really hope you guys like them aswell. The first set I am calling Venetian and quite frankly had a tough time deciding to list them because I love them so much!!!! They were made with Cobalt, Gaia from Double Helix, Silver Leaf and clear. They look like the jewels that an elegant Venetian woman would wear.

The second set looks like a Valentine's Day gift for our Venetian woman from her Martian beau. These were made with black, color-shifting Raku, Cobalt, a little Amethyst and red.

Okay...so maybe I was a little gassed from the fumes that these beads created while making them....let me know what you think they look like!!

I hope you guys enjoy!!!!
