For Christmas I made some poinsettias for earrings, pendants and a few for change a bead rings. The rings are wildly popular. The bead you see above was red purple from Moretti. The color I like most is CIM Sangre because it has a little transparency and makes the flower glow. I'm going to work on more flowers for the bead rings. Any suggestions folks?
Since the owls are so wildly popular I've downloaded owl clip art and made owl beads. I enjoy making murine for eyes and for their owly behinds. Personally I like the two-tone owls. The first one I made didn't have any designs on the back. Since the first owl I've made sure to decorate the back in case it flips over as a pendant. There is a store close to Driftwood that would like to buy owls for their display case and maybe some glass flowers for the rings. Wish me luck.
The studio is getting some decorations. I was lucky at an estate sale and found some hand painted fish by Mike Quinn. His webpage is http://www.fishwithattitude.com/index.htm. I found seven and they will be on two walls to make me smile in the studio.
