It is very hot today! Frank Hawk gave me a flap lap and a saw to work on my murrini. Unfortunately, I did not take pics of it when I took it apart. So to say the least it has been challenging getting it put together. I am determined to get it up an running so that I can slice and polish my murrini. Then put them in beads in time for the ISGB Gathering. Hope to see you there.

Got home late last night. When making my reservations to Milwaukee, I asked for an AM flight. When making my shuttle reservations I noticed my flight was PM and could not change it. Flight overbooked. The B&B show was a success. Sold lots of sugar beads, silver lined hollows, hearts and other beads. There were lots of great beadmakers there! Kittrell/Riffkind Art Glass Gallery asked me to send more beads they sold out of.... Woo Hoo!!
This is a blown vessel!

First Friday on Tennyson was great. The variety of people is so awesome. There are those who know a little about glass and then there are those who have no clue how a glass bead is made. Love to educate them. I have been moving lots and lots of rock. Clearing an area so that I can plant a veggie and herb garden this year. Almost complete.
Also making beads for the Bead & Button Show. Hope to see you there.

This is what I have been up to! I am blowing beads off the end of a pipe then silver lining them. This is one of my favorite.

It snowed all weekend. I do love the snow and the cold weather! That is easy for me to say since my comute does not require me driving anywhere. I can wait till the roads are clear to get to the post office. Well got to get the beads in the mail.

Wouldn't you know!!! The ink ran out as it was printing shipping labels for orders to be sent out. Took it to be refilled and it failed! Forgot a critical pass word and had to wait for it to be sent to me. So many things to do and so little time.

Till next time,

What a wonderful day for making beads. I do prefer the cold to the hot weather but it has just been a tad tooooo cold even for me. It' too cold, It's too hot, Aaaahhh this is just right. Just call me Goldilocks!

Click on the photo and it will take to to where you can purchase this one or one similar to it!

This style bead will be published in the Spring 2010 issue of Stringing Magazine. Interweave Press.  Woo Hoo. Made by Marlene Blessings.

Till  next time,
Bernadette
