Louise!

We need new glass beads! Any new pretties?

Oh that is funny! I was feeling guilty for not having been in touch and was just about to call or email!
I am still waiting for my kiln, torch and oxygen concentrator (apparently the oxycon parts are in short supply), I'm getting desperate to get everything set up as then I feel like I'll really be able to start creating more consistently. I can have a look through what I have here and see if I've got anything else I can bring over, what I'm hoping is that once I can get a full batch made and annealed that I can bring them over and swap new ones for any that haven't sold. But let me see what I can find in the meantime. The cold weather over the last couple of months has meant I've had a hard time trying to make anything.

Jeanette did the glass/silver clay book arrive yet? I haven't forgotten about it

One bit of exciting news, this quarters edition of The Flow magazine ( http://www.theflowmagazine.com ) features Canadian beadmakers - I have three of my beads in their Gallery pages! I don't think their website reflects the new edition yet, I've only just received mine, but will bring it with me when I come to show you! it's a big deal - I've never been published before!

ooohhh--Toot Toot--

That's great! We should add some of your photos to the store's web-site gallery too! Let's do a feature on you in the next newsletter too.

Oh the book did come in. I had a quick peak...it looks good!

Oooh thank you Jeannette on both counts! I'm looking forward to seeing the book and I'd be thrilled to be in your newsletter! Just let me know what you need and when.

Louise, congrats on being published .That's such wonderful recognition of the quality and creativity of your work. I've been ogling some of your beads at the store and you have made such a variety beads. some funny, some elegant , some drop dead gorgeous . now just how to choose which one to buy.......
Well Done.
Deb

Thanks for your kind words Deb!
They are piling up at home, and if my new kiln doesn't arrive soon I'll have to cave in and pay to get the next batch annealed.

If you do make anything with one of my beads I'd love to see the finished piece - jewellery making is not one of my skills!!!

We're supposed to make "something" with your beads???? I thought we were to just stock pile them!

I got news!! my kiln is coming, my kiln is coming

Oh---whew! I was getting so darn tired of looking at your old stock of beads. (not!)

I can't wait to see your new beads!!
