Fresh Glass 2.16.16

Continued from yesterday: I mentioned getting on the Easter bandwagon... I've been thinking about my infamous Eggster Bunny from years ago and wanting to revisit that design. I was coming up with different color combos for chocolate bunnies... when I decided to make a "white chocolate" Haole Hula version! I also call this the bunny that tried to kill me!

I was cold cutting a design element off when it went between my glasses and and landed on my eyelid! Silvadeen made it feel much better but it was SCARY!

I went on to make a dark chocolate Eggster Bunny and a micro egg set:

Here's a reminder of how to shop on Facebook:

 

Last Minute Holiday Clearance

It occurred to me I have scads of holiday beads... and they need to go! And with an unknown surgery date looming... I decided to have a last minute clearance sale.  Most of these are at least 10% off...but that's not all... Purchase two items this week (Website, Etsy or Facebook!) and get FREE USA shipping. Purchase 3 to get FREE international. That's the deal! Check out the links on Facebook!

Halloween Jewelry

Of all those scads of Halloween Cupcakes I made a while back, as well as the majority this year's Halloween focals were sold to ONE person. She helps run a Halloween Haunted Castle fundraiser so I think she wanted lots of options for all those endless planning meetings beforehand. She had me turn them into pendants and I thought I would show them off.

Below are the Jack Skellington Cupcake and the Spidey Focal:

Here is the Calaveras and a Dracula Bead (custom for my client):

Next we have the Cauldron Cupcake and the Rasta Pumpkin:

And finally, the Pumpkin Witch Hat and Frankie:

A fair number of the cupcakes are still left and I've moved them to ebay. Take a l@@k and I can wrap one up for your fright-fest!

Fresh Glass 9.22

I made a couple more punkin witch hats the other day. One for a Halloween Swap and one for a request by a friend. Still hoping to make myself one but it was just too hot the day I made these!

I truly hate that Vetrofond is not making rods for beadmakers any more. There are so many fabulous colors that no one makes! Their ivory rocks... and turns flips over Effetre's IMO! Yellow Ice is to die for. And... tangerine sparkle... I'm gonna miss it so!

I'm a bit under the weather so instead of working in the stamp shop on that ginormous order I need to press, I'm going to move all the Halloween cupcake beads to ebay. Come check them out....

Homeless Beads Placed!

I'm still trying to move on from my non-paying customer. I've sold all but two of the beads she bought. . I've heard from even more artisans Teresa Baze has ripped off and owes way more money to than me... I guess I'm lucky! She does this on ebay too and my advice is to block her!

But it occurred to me I have forgotten to catalog all the pretties that have been finding homes!

Halloween Focals 2014

These are the Halloween Glass Bead focals I have for this fall season. Not shown are the endless variety of Halloween Cupcakes... Let's just say those are "still in the oven!"

Up first is a gigantic spider bead. He was inspired by a Halloween Candy Set I made a few years ago: 

Next up is a Witch Hat Pumpkin. I used extinct sparkle glass for the orange...It's so pretty in the light. I really do have to make myself one before I run out of this glass!

And finally a Korn Kitty:

 

 I had the most amazing time making him! Do you ever have a bead where you FEEL your skills shift??? This one was mine! Normally when I do something like this, I nitpick and add a drop of this and a line of that ... freaking over unstraight lines. But not this time... he just flowed!! LOVE him!!!

These will be on my Facebook page soon!
