Frog Pendant

This little guy has a lovely silver bail from Amanda Muddimer at https://mangobeads.co.uk/.  The perfect finishing touch to secure the pendant.

Harvest Time: Zombie Squirrel Eyeballs

The kids woke up bright and early, dawned their kevlar lined hazmat suits, and ventured outside to gather up some zombie squirrel eyeballs.  Like picking up pebbles on the beach, the plagued peepers just roll right out of their little eye sockets.  A bountiful harvest indeed!  After a quick rinse to remove the crusties, the petrified eyeballs are ready to be strung and worn in a Halloween jewelry design.  They measure approximately 10 mm in diameter.  Just message me on FB if you are interested in a set.   

Butterfly Snaps

Butterfly Snaps featuring Jackie Gundelfinger's amazing murrini. The snaps will be available to purchase in the fundraising area @ the ISGB Gathering.  Stop by her facebook page to order her wonderful murrini to add a bit of flash to your next flamework project. 

Soda Lime Times - October 2016

Are you signed up to receive the latest issue of Soda Lime Times?  October's issue focuses on unusual shapes including some super quick hearts for the Beads of Courage program.  Personally, I enjoy keeping a few extra in the studio for visitors to string as a keepsake for stopping by.  Enjoy!
 

Class Project - August 23 & August 30

The last 2 weeks, students have focused on a project which involves a variety of techniques.  During Week 1, the lesson covered copper mesh, encasing, shaping, flame enameling, and layered dots.  The real fun came on Week 2 when students began to uncover the bead's core detail through cold working and create a highly polished window.  Enjoy!

The Whimsy of Jackie Gundelfinger

Beautiful murrini by Jackie Gundelfinger. A fantastic treat in a gift packet for students enrolled in the upcoming workshop I'm teaching at Mesa Arts Center. Truly miniature works of art. 

Luck of the Irish... in October???

Kooter found ALL of the seasonal, dress-up clothes while helping to decorate for Halloween.  Now he demands we call him Guinea S. O'Malley.  Hoping it is just a passing phase.
