Allergy Season

It's that time of year again for most of us in the Austin area. Cedar is in the air and I'm a stuffy mess. However, I've been using my time wisely while I babysit the girls. I completed my new bracelet with African trade beads. It is chunky but I think it looks great.

I wanted to start on a set of beads last night and had every intention of working on the new color choices I came up with. The glass didn't like the decision and made a new one for me. So I did everything in black and white. The hearts are so much fun to make. I made a button to go with the set but it didn't look great next to the beads. Oh well....

UT Game Day

UT National Championship tonight.

I am still playing with colors and coming up with more and more color themes to work with. For some reason I'm pulled towards blues and purples right now.

I created a bright set of fun shapes to clean up some of the glass on my desk. I think these are really fun.

I am thinking of working on some organic beads today. I tried to find my notes from a Kim Afflect class I took a couple of years ago but they haven't turned up. Next time I'll have them stored in the computer. I do have some great ideas so I'll just see how they work in the flame.
