Electroformed Focal Bead

sold

This is the focal that I posted a few days ago, but has since been electroformed. I just love the interest and texture that subtle copper accents can add to a bead. This will be listed on Monday evening, along with beads from the weekend.

Thanks for looking!

This Year's Postcard for The Gathering

Since I did not get to torch last weekend, and I have no pictures to post, I thought I would share a picture of the postcard my friend Lori helped me put together for the Gathering.

Thanks Lori-O, I certainly appreciate you helping me with Photoshop!

The One, The Only.....

SOLD

Above is the one and only...meesly bead from the weekend! The work week was grueling, the weekend hectic, and there was absolutely no time to torch! I did sneak one in on Saturday, and if size matters, well, this is a bead for you! Measuring over two inches long and over one inch at the the widest point, this is on the large side for me.

Next weekend will be productive. My buddy Samma is coming over for a boro day on Friday. (She makes the most awesome shells!) We always have so much fun, and torch well together. I'm really looking forward to it!!

As always, thanks for looking!

Weekend Torch Time

What a busy weekend!

My sisters, Carmen and Karen, came over to play jewelry on Saturday. We made bracelets...and a lot of girl talk until about 1:00 in the morning! Sunday was my torch day. Above are a few of the beads out of the kiln this morning. My favorite bead from Sunday has been painted and is now drying to be electroformed tomorrow.

These will be listed later this week.

Thanks for looking :)
