Ghoulies and Goddesses

Whew! I've been so busy, I almost forgot to blog! I was in the shop "trying" to make something I like for the Fire Divas Bead Challenge... my forth attempt! I worked on ONE BEAD for almost two hours!! By then it was getting really hot! I ran a few errands and OMG...it's four!

So in the interest of brevity, I wanted to share some new beads I'm really excited about: Survivor Goddesses

 

I'm hoping to get these up on Artfire in a few hours but they way my day is going... Let's just say "tomorrow!"

As you know, October is breast cancer awareness month and I will have some "ta ta" bead pairs to list really soon (still trying to clean that mountain of glass I made last week!)

And October is also Halloween!!! There's lots of Halloween beads in my Artfire shop and more are in that cleaning jar. This one was listed yesterday:

All my seasonal beads hit the Artfire shop first so if you're shopping for October, please check it out!!!

Fall? Winter? Huh?

I so wish I were one of those capable of thinking ahead. I'm just starting to think about summer. Heck it was so chilly here in Los Angeles last night that, for the first time in 11 summers, it was too COLD to sit in the pool and watch fireworks! Is it any wonder I'm confused?

But no, as a beadmaker, I need to be making fall and winter colors NOW for jewelry designers to be able to make jewelry and still sell it in time for the season. So I'm trying to shift my thoughts. As always some color helps!

This is the color chart for fall by Fire Mountain Gems. I will be printing this out and hanging it by my torch for inspiration.

Fall...harumph! OK, I'll try! But I am NOT making snowmen in August!
