two thousand and nine...

thought I'd try something new for the new year.

This cross is hanging from my rear view mirror.
the bottom cracked off when I was taking it off the mandrel, so I glued (gasp!)the piece back on.

now available at blessings...

this years Christmas bracelets.

have a heart...

GLORY

Kavod...The Hebrew word for GLORY also means HEAVY or honored.
this is my new bracelet which I was going to call heavy metal, because the glass looks like metal and it's Big and chunky and heavy, but then I heard (from my Pastor) that the word Glory in Hebrew, means heavy, so it's his fault if I'm wrong!

I've been waiting to hit that number and I'm only a few away! so... it's time for a give away. I have no idea what it should be. Any ideas?

Studio time...

My friend, Kim, came over the other day to take pictures for a photo class she's taking at college. just thought I'd share some of my favorites...

ruffles and swirls...

Bangles and Brew

Something new!! ...well...kind of...
Home parties! WAIT!! don't go away yet...
I know you think you know, but this one is different!

You and your guests get to make a bracelet kind of like the one pictured, except no two will ever be exactly alike, because your using original handmade lampwork beads as part of the bracelet you'll make.

Along with the lampwork glass beads you'll get fresh water pearls, swarovski crystals and seed beads.

No special skills required, this isn't a class.

It's just a fun night or morning out with your friends and in the end you'll have a one of a kind work of art!

Book your GNO now!! or GBO (girls breakfast out)
