Murrini Listings

I am going hog wild adding murrini to my Artfire shop.  Chris has taken lovely pictures, and I’ll be adding more through the rest of the week.  If you want some special murrini and you don’t see it, just give me a holler!  And for a limited time (i.e. until I run out) I will [...]

I win!

Yep, I actually won a random drawing!  Sarah Hornik had a contest over at her blog, the Glass Slipper.  You had to come up with 3 words to describe her work, then she held a random drawing, and I won!  I get my pick of items from her etsy store. I’m in love with this [...]

Jeff Barber – beads and bulldogs

Jeff Barber is one of my favorite bead artists. This is one of his beads, made with Satake Glass from Japan.  He uses other kinds of glass too, but I really like his Satake ones.  Even better, Jeff is a bulldog lover too!  The frenchie is named Grace, and the big bullie is Louie.  If [...]

Pendant from Wordless Wednesday

Remember that pendant from this week’s Wordless Wednesday?  Well, this is what I did with it.  I’m getting ready for an indie art show at the end of May, so I’ve been making lots and lots of jewelry.  The copper discs and copper chain I got on my last shopping spree, and the stone beads [...]
