Lighting the Torch Again

 

Hi All!  It has been a while...Here are a few focal beads from last weekend's torch session.  After taking some time away from the torch the past few years, I hope to be able to spend more time doing what I love...making beads. 

I now have a four to five torch studio set up at my house so I can once again teach classes.  I will be posting pictures, and a schedule, very soon.  The classes will include lapidary, electroforming, all skill levels of bead making and PMC (I am now RioGrand Certified).

 

Thanks for looking and keep your torch burning bright!  Lisa   



Here are a few focals from yesterday's torch session.

1000 Beads book by Lark

I received my Lark 1000 Beads book, and thought I would post the above pictures of my beads that are included. I'm truly honored and humbled to be included with such talented beadmakers.  Congratulations to all, and thanks to Lark and Kristina Logan for affording me this opportunity!

Wild Colors!

Here is a bead from the weekend.  It is a little on the wild side for me,

with orange purple and a splash of dichro.

New Electroformed Focals

Above are a few new electroformed focals just finished this past weekend.  The first one was heavily electroformed and then I added texture to the copper. 

It is COLD here in Indiana...I hope everyone is staying safe, warm and happy :)
