I know it's been quite some time since I have updated my blog. With 3 moves and renovations in the last 3 years it's been a bit hectic. I have been working at the torch when I can and my life seems to be settling down nicely now and I am able to enjoy creating again. <br />
<br />
I have posted some new things on my facebook page which you can see here:<br />

I am grateful for all the support family, friends and customers have graciously extended during my absence!!!! <br />
<br />
Love and hugs to all!<br />

My leave is needed to take care of an unfortunate family situation. I had hopes of being settled into a new studio/life by mid 2015 but as I often hear, "things take longer than they do" and that certainly is the case in my life. I'm taking a break from all decisions in that regard until the end of summer. Maybe I will be up and running with my life of glass beads by fall 2015 but only time will tell. I miss my torch and studio and I have a great need to start creating again as soon as possible. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Until then, I do have beads for sale at Coyote Beads and finished jewelry at Ginny's Fashions both in Bowling Green, OH. I have beads for sale at The Bead Boutique in Lansing, MI. I have deleted my artfire account as I don't have the time to manage the site and when I return there are new selling venues I would like to try. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Thank you to all my loyal customers, friends and of course family, during this unsettling time. I'll let you know when the new chapter begins!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sincerely,</div>
<div>

That probably means something different to each of us but deep, rich colored beads that are heavy and then tumble etched are definitely in my personal definition of beads that feel like fall. I have to admit I love making these all year around but I shy away from making them into jewelry until fall is near. My good bead friend Dianna came over and helped me assemble all of these necklaces. She loves to make jewelry more than I do. I'd rather just make beads but it's much more fun to assemble jewelry when you work with someone like Dianna who truly enjoys the process. Plus we get to spend time together and get caught up.<br />

I am happy to share with my local customers, family and friends that my finished jewelry is now available for purchase through Ginny's Inspired Fashions in Bowling Green, Ohio. It's a wonderful shop with a lot of great items. I've never seen so many hats in one place! Ginny has nearly any style of hat you could possibly want or she can order something for you if they don't have it. Ginny has unique and beautiful clothes, scarves, wallets and purses just to name a few things she carries.<br />

The longer you work CIM 511306 Honey Mustard <a href="http://www.creationismessy.com/color.aspx?id=243">http://www.creationismessy.com/color.aspx?id=243</a> the prettier it can get. This first photo shows a nice progression of a wonderful coral-pink blooming. The bottom of the bead is a great representation of un-struck Honey Mustard, the center shows it starting to strike and the top is obviously struck the most. Love that top color!<br />

Honey Mustard is used on the end caps, of this second bead, as well as the golden yellow you see in the base of the floral design. I can't remember for sure what my base bead color was but I believe it was an effetre red brown. I liked the way the Honey Mustard played with the base color. <br />
<br />
I have made several more beads using CIM 511306 Honey Mustard and have gotten beautiful coral-pinks to warmer mustard shades. Sometimes you can get some great striations that look similar to the sunset or desert sand. I am a big fan of this new color!Chris Sanderson Beadshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15406257665558303921noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9108109582434254879.post-79707242525570131382014-01-25T16:59:00.000-08:002014-01-25T16:59:58.352-08:00A Year In Review - 2013<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

As I look back at 2013 I realize just how blessed I have been this year not only in my personal family life but also in my glass life. I am very lucky to have studied with so many fantastic instructors this past year; including, Sara Sally LaGrand, Jari Sheese, Libby Leuchtman, Jodi McDougall and Loren Stump. And I just started off 2014 with Kristina Logan - but that is for another blog post since for now I’m only reviewing 2013.</span></b></div>

This class really pushed me out of my comfort zone. I’m grateful for the experience because I continue to use what I learned and find new ways to work glass each time I torch. Plus Sara Sally was a lot of fun and I met new glass friends! I think it’s easy to see the influence of this class on my current work.</span></b><br />

I was curious about the Dash store and that was not what I expected. Very small and while the stuff was kind of cute…. well let’s just say I enjoyed the tattoo place a lot more.

I can’t really express in words just how much this particular experience affected me. I blogged about this earlier but it is worth another mention in my year in review post. The customer gave me a gift that she may never realize- our communication to make this pendant special to her was a life changing experience for me. </span></div>

I attended a 5-day (and night if you count the days we worked until the wee hours of the morning) workshop with Loren Stump. I learned so much about glass in those five days. I had contemplated taking one of his classes for about a year. I had heard the stories of students crying and the long hours being unmanageable, so I was a bit leary of signing up. I have no idea where the rumors came from about the crying part. The long hours were grueling, but in a good way. I was exhausted and my body hurt like crazy by the end. I remember thinking I hadn’t felt that tired since my daughter was a newborn. I took so many notes I had to start a new notebook and I will forever have this wonderful book of information to refer to as I continue my love of working with glass. A friend of mine said she “never looked at glass the same again” after taking Loren’s class and I think that is a great way to explain the experience. You can be at any level and you will learn from this teacher. He is probably the most giving artist I have ever known and has teaching talent beyond any I have experienced so far. He wants to share his knowledge and he wants you to succeed. There were many failures along the way but in the end each of us in the class was a success and had lots to show for our 5 days. So if any of my glass bead friends read this, I hope your take away from my post is to be brave, suck it up, rest up and go take a class with Loren as soon as you can. I had a blast!<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<span style="font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">I have many ideas I hope to create in glass of course, but one particular thing I hope to learn is some type of metal work that will help me take my beads to a higher level. It would be great to have metal work that makes each bead a one of a kind piece unique to me and my work. I have a lot to learn so my first step will be to find a metalsmith class to start learning the basics. If I find this to be too much to learn at this stage of the game then my next choice would be to work with another metal artist to design something with me.</span></div>

These beads are based on the formula I learned from Libby L. at the ISGB Gathering this past summer. I already sold two of them so I will be making more since my customers seem to like them just as much as I do. Hope you like them too!<br />

There was a 4th bead but that one sold before I got to photograph it. But you get the idea of the fun colors and patterns of this type of bead.<br />

These are all made with Double Helix silvered glass and I used many of the techniques I learned from Hayley Tsang. I loved her class and I still enjoy making these beads. I'm amazed that I can actually remember how to make these even though her class was quite a while ago. I don't remember which combinations I used on each bead but these 5 beads have some combination of Terranova 2.1, Psyche, Luna 3, Gaia, Ekho, Elektra, PK 567, Helios, SK 548, Oxalis and Frit: Gaia, Psyche, Aurae,and Tabasco light.<br />
<br />
I know I post a lot of photos but these beads are so shiny and each lighting condition shows a different aspect of each bead. These first 6 photos are all of the same bead:<br />

The 4th bead is my favorite bead of this batch because I got some new and unusual effects. This is one I really which I remembered what I used - it's in my notes but I can't tell which formula goes with which bead because I forgot to take a photograph of the order they came out of the kiln. Hope you like it too:<br />

I have so much to catch up on - don't I always say that? I guess that's a good thing to say as it means I have been busy making lots of beads. I had a fun summer with some traveling and one of my trips was to the ISGB Gathering for a full week of beads, glass, tools, supplies, jewelry components, lectures, classes and more beads and glass.... I was exhausted after a full week of that. So after I rested up for a few days I couldn't wait to get back to the torch and experiment with all the new ideas, information and inspiration floating around in my head.<br />
<br />
Here is a new style of bead that I am really loving. I especially like how this technique looks with opaque fall colors. It involves etching the bead after it's made with a tumbling process and then to enhance and protect the glass it gets a fine coating of oil/beeswax and this part just makes all the striations pop! <br />

These beads are all thick walled hollows and here is a picture of how they looked before I tumbled them:<br />

I think they are very pretty without the tumbling too!<br />
<br />
After I made these hollows I moved on to make... focal beads of course as I seem to be enjoying and selling focals for pendants.<br />

I enjoyed making these mermaids more than I expected. I made these over a period of three days. Each day I would sit down at the torch I just felt like making another mermaid. They take some time to make and I think I will enjoy developing other tails, bodies, and accessories. Maybe I will even try a merman!<br />

I am officially caught up with the beads I have photographed and edited. I do have jewelry to make this week as well as some new beads. I hope to have those photographed and ready to share with you soon!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><b><u>Some exciting news!!!</u></b></span><br />
I will be displaying my beads and jewelry at the Levis Commons art show next weekend in front of Salvatore Capelli Salon 4105 Chapel Drive so stop by and say hello and check out all the great items the Salon will have on display for the event. I love this art show - not too big, not too small. Lots of great art and and friendly artists. <br />

Beads, Beads And More Beads.It has been so long since I've blogged that this post will mostly be photos of beads. First of all, did you notice my new blog design? Thanks to my 23 year old daughter my blog now has a bright new look! She changed the format a bit too. Hopefully it will be easier to find the information you are looking for. If you are new to my blog, make sure to check out the Blog Archive on the right side of the page.<br />

Since my last post, I have taken a class with Jari Sheese in Chicago, and went to my first full week at the ISGB Gathering. I took several classes there too. My two day class was with Libby Leuchtma<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">n. I had a great time and fortunately had a fun roommate to share my week with. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">So enough about me, lets get to the good stuff.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">These first photos are from my class with Jari. These are NOT my photos but were taken by staff at the studio. We learned how to make ornaments. These are the final ornaments made by all the students in the class. Mine is the 5th one from the left. I enjoyed making these. You might see some more of these closer to Christmas!</span><br />

I made a bunch of disc beads for my Staxx loving customers. Most of these can be used on the Staxx Pendant System too. Since Staxx has been out of business for so long though, I have a new system that I am going to start using soon. I hope my ring customers will enjoy the new system - photos to come in the near future. Some of these may still be available on my Artfire account.<br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Yes, I have even more photos to share but I think this is enough for one blog post.

This tutorial was written by and artist whose work I have admired for quite some time, so that was another factor in my head - "I can't possibly make beads the way Anouk does." Then there is the fact that I will probably be using an entire rod of silvered glass on something that may look like mud when I make it and I hate wasting that precious glass. So anyways, I am in a testing and experimenting mood these days so I went for it and here is my first attempt at an Armadillo Bead.<br />
<br />

Alright, I'm pretty happy with it. It took me a long time to make this bead and I would not want to make more than a couple of these each day. The fact that I used an entire rod of Clio is another reason not to make too many of these in a day. As you can see I did not spend a lot of time on my outer design/finishing work because I was still not sure it was going to turn out and I did not want to waste any precious silvered glass murini either. Next time, I'll be a bit more trusting of my ability.<br />

Now for a second attempt from the tutorial. This one was even harder for me as I do not make a lot of beads this shape so I was a bit challenged at keeping the weight even on both sides of this bead. I did however, learn quite a bit in this one bead alone that will open a few creative doors for me!!!! <br />

I can't tell you how I made either of these beads because it was a purchased tutorial. But you can order the tutorial from TrollLover's etsy shop if you like. As for me, I will need to refer back to my notes dated 3/24/2013.</div>

Now that those two new beads totally wore me out, I went back to my testing mode. I have quite a bit of new color that I have been itching to test out so this may be boring as it's going to be a lot of information just for my own reference.</div>

Next I'm testing CIM Shrubbery 511410 and Effetre Earth Cool Color 591688. I think the Shrubbery separates a bit too much for the application (over black) I used in the last bead shown in this next photo. I do like the way Shrubbery works with Ivory. And I think I am in love with Earth! I could tell when I was making these spacers they would be awesome so I made several and have plans for them already!!! </div>

I don't care much for either of these next two colors. Here I am testing CIM Blue Suede Shoes and CIM Pimento. I can see uses for each of these colors separately but not together. I tested the BSS on both CIM Peace and Effetre White and both whites became very fuzzy. BSS layers nicely when left raised.</div>

Testing Green Cave 591856 and Moss Green 591853. Green Cave strikes to a darker green the long it is worked in the flame. The 3 small spacers together in the following photo show this. I made all of these on the same mandrel and the one I made last is on the right and it maintained a very pretty blue while the other two turned green. The longer it is worked, the more cool striations come up. So while I like the nice silvered blue color I also like it as a darker green. Moss Green has virtually no reaction to Lt. Ivory which was unexpected but good to know!</div>

Well that's enough testing for one day. I enjoy it but I get bored with it quickly. To finish up this day at the torch I made some masked pattern beads. As you have read in my blog before, I relax and enjoy making this style of bead. I just played with some new ideas and variations that I had floating around in my head.<br />

That's it. I'm caught up with all the beads I have taken photos of!!! It took longer than I thought but I had a wonderful Easter weekend with the family so I just didn't have time to get my blogging finished. I have a few hours to myself now, so I'm going to go make a few beads this evening!!!!!<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading my blog!<br />

This batch of beads is the last of the beads I currently have made that have anything to do with the storming technique.<br />

This first bead is on a base of black with dots of Dk. Ivory and Triton, Stormed Elektra and SC. This is a large hole bead that I plan to cap and core. The storming could be a little stronger which seems to be the norm with Elektra. </div>

This is a very pretty bead but it was a dud as far as storming goes. No storming is seen with the naked eye however you can see some small areas of it when under the photo lights.<br />

Black base, Dk. Ivory, Nyx, Stormed Elektra, SC. I think the Nyx is just too dark to use with the Stormed Elektra.<br />
<br />
<br />
My purple lovers will like this color combination. Lavender is more of a true description of this pretty color. The actual bead is a bit wonky with my clear dot application but it was too pretty not to show you a bead that is not up to snuff. <br />

This bead has a very interesting color combination but not much storming. Cerulean Turquoise Shimmer is the name my daughter gave this bead.<br />

This next bead is also a bit weak on color. I thought it would be a nice combo but my expectation of the Dark Lavender was a bit high.<br />

My practice for the day. I am still trying to make a few hollow beads each time I work at the torch so I get more consistent with my results and I also experiment with new color combinations and glass applications.<br />

Last bead of the day. Even though this bead did not do what I thought it would do, I do like it. It has a lizard look and feel to it. The storming is noticeable but not as strong as I would like. I plan to cap and core this bead too!<br />

You can see the storming a bit better in this photo. Black base, Dk. Ivory, Triton, Stormed Oxalis on center row, Stormed Notos on outside rows then they all have a bit of Stormed OR, SC.<br />

I don't think I am finished playing with storming yet but I am pretty sure my next post will not have any storming in it. You will have to check back soon and see I guess.<br />

Top bead: PL base, Dk Ivory and Triton, Stormed Oxalis (needs more storming than OR,) SC.<br />
Second bead: Black base, Dk Ivory and Gaia, Stormed Oxalis (needs more storming than I used,) SC.<br />
Bottom bead: AWESOME - but you can't see it well in this photo. Black base, Dk Ivory and Triton, Stormed Elektra, SC.<br />
<br />
<br />
This green bead is a total experiment - no plans to use this bead for a finished piece of jewelry so no critiques on this bead for those purposes. It's a mess I know. But I learn a lot from this kind of mess!<br />

Black base, Dk Ivory (stringer and it seemed to suck in the layers above and below it,) Triton on outer dots, Hades on center dots, Stormed Notos (needs way more storming than I used here,) SC.<br />
<br />
<br />
I got some nice sparkles on this bead but not really any storming. I think Gaia needs heavy storming.<br />

This next bead I really like. It's the perfect size for a European charm bracelet or would look nice on one of my Change A Bead necklaces!<br />

PL base, Ivory and Triton, center dots - stormed Gaia (plenty of storming showed up this time with the Gaia!!!!) one side has Stormed Oxalis and the other side has Stormed Notos, Zepher, accent dots of reduced Aurae.<br />
<br />
I had high hopes for this combination but I learned that Stormed Elektra looks better over Triton than it does PL.<br />

This bead was another disappointment for me but I have a feeling my sister will love this bead. She always likes my failure beads and she always makes them look good with what she does with them too! So this one is for you Scotty. <br />

I used PL in the bead I made right before this one and while I was working it though the paces I was getting some really nice blues and purples (for the first time I was getting PL to do what it was supposed to do) so I was excited to try it again only leaving it as the color layer instead of a base layer for something else. But my luck did not last and it doesn't have much color or color variation at all.<br />
Black base, Dk. Ivory and PL, SC on center dots, Aether on one side and Zepher on other side.<br />
<br />
<br />
After that last disappointment I changed the type of bead I was making - I needed a break from storming and that darn PL glass!!! This bead was a doozie to photograph and I really wanted the golden colors to show along with all the variations of purple and blues. I captured the colors well but did not do the gold tones justice at all.<br />

Clear base, Triton rolled in Val Cox Cashmere White Frit - raked and manipulated a bit, reduced at the very end. Love this bead!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
I can't decide if I like this next bead or not. Sometimes I think it's great and others times I can only see that 50's turquoise color that my mom had in the kitchen of the home I grew up in - I loved that home and liked the kitchen just fine back then but I'm not a fan of that color these days.<br />

Multi-color over clear base, Iris Blue Frit (no particular brand - just some I had in a jar,) and some of the Val Cox Cashmere White Frit - raked and manipulated, lightly reduced in small areas.<br />
<br />
<br />
Now this bead is a winner for sure! I LOVE it! Might keep this one for myself as a present from the Easter Bunny.<br />

These last two beads are made with Reichenbach Pink Lady. I am still not able to make a perfect hollow bead every time yet, so I try to practice them each time I make beads. The Pink Lady makes a very lovely color for a hollow bead!!!<br />

The last bead has Boreas stringer work for decoration. I really have been loving the new DH glass! Boreas, Notos, and Oxalis are all very pretty on their own or used as accent work.<br />
<br />
I just accomplished my goal for the day! I edited all my photos up to date for blogging and got one new blog post written! I still have two more batches of photos to blog about but they are not on my goal list today. For now, I'm heading to the torch as I have lots of ideas in my head that are busting to get out before Easter weekend activities start.<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading my bead blog and I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday weekend and/or spring break - ya'll travel safe this weekend!!!!<br />

Others ask to come watch but we never seem to find a time that will work for both of us. And then there are people who take a long time to understand that I actually do make the beads and not just put jewelry together. So I thought I would share this video here with you on my blog.<br />
<br />
Many of you know that I have had the wonderful opportunity to have my work in an awesome gallery on 5th Ave. in Naples, FL called The Mermaid's Bite. They asked me to put together a short video for them to play on their gallery monitor so customers can understand what it is I actually do. So I wrangled my hubby and together we made this video. He did most of the hard work - all I had to do was do what I love to do - make a simple masked patterned bead. A big thank you to Tom for taking the time to shoot the video, edited it, put it on youtube and other related work!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!! Tom has been my biggest supporter of this love I have for glass bead making and I am lucky to have him!<br />
<br />
Okay enough of the mushy stuff. Here is the video link:<br />

Usually around Christmas time I start getting requests for this style of bead - large hole to fit European Style Charm Bracelets. I haven't really enjoyed making the large hole beads in the past but most of these were quite fun actually. It still amazes me how much time it takes to make these little beads.<br />

These are my first attempts at making beads using the Storming Technique. I purchased this tutorial a while back but am just now getting around to playing with it. I won't be specific about how this technique works but I will list the glass I used as that will not give away any storming secrets. This is a tutorial well worth it if you are a glass bead maker. Here is a link to Amy Kinsch's tutorial, Taking Reduction Glass by Storm http://beeswaxrubberstamps.com/lampworkbeads.htm. I highly recommend it as it was easy and fun and I can't wait to see all the other applications I can use with this technique.</div>

My personal favorite of the above stormed beads is the 7th one down. I must also note that the 9th bead has a lovely shade of purple that I just could not get to show well in the photograph. The Aether clear is what made that happen!!!</div>

I had a request for zebra and Tiger print beads and the customer suggested she would like to see how a bead would look with both prints in one bead. My personal favorite is the zebra bead with the red end caps. I also made these zebra beads in a different way and I am really liking the way they turned out!</div>

I have been working on this special blog post for a while. These beads are made from the cremation ash from our first family pet, Bailey - a beautiful black lab. </div>

I heard about this process well over a year ago and I was immediately interested in making them. Because the beads are made from something so special as the ashes of our loved ones who are no longer with us, I wanted to research it in detail before I attempted making any beads with cremation ash, also called cremains. I decided I wanted to make these most unique and special beads for myself and others.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So what are these exactly and how are they made? Only a small amount of cremation ash is actually needed to create several beads. The ash is infused or layered in the glass and the beads can be made into any shape and almost any color can be used. Some colors work better than others. The beads are annealed for durability as all my beads are. Some may decide they want their beads made into jewelry while others may just like to carry them in a pocket or keepsake. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Cremation beads are one of the more popular ways to remember a pet or family member while also bringing comfort to the survivors. I think they are a beautiful way to honor a loved one's memory.<br />
<br />
<b><u><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Update to this blog post August 8, 2013:</span></u></b><br />
Here are more photos of memorial beads that I have made since my original blog post. I think they are beautiful beads and this is just a sample of colors and shapes that I can create. These are all pendants but there are many options available. If you are interested in having a bead made from the ash of your pet or loved one, please contact me. I would be honored to do this for you.<br />

Silvered glass is difficult to capture in a photograph so I'm showing two views of this pendant hoping you will get a good idea of the beautiful colors in the main focal bead. I had a very special experience making this memorial pendant for a very special person, who I feel gave me more than I could ever have given her in return with this bead. Each component has a special meaning and all but the pearls contain cremains.<br />

As I make more and more of these beads I like to keep updating this post so everything related to Cremains/Memorial Beads is all in one spot. I continue to be honored to make these special beads for others who are working through their loss of pet, friend, or family member. <br />
<br />
It's easy to see that prior beads have caught the eye of my newer customers and influenced their requests for what they would like in their own cremains beads. <br />

The next bracelet was also on display at the gallery in Naples and may still be available. Most of my handmade beads used in this bracelet have a black base and the decoration is made using CIM retired French Blue <a href="http://www.creationismessy.com/color.aspx?id=10">http://www.creationismessy.com/color.aspx?id=10</a>, Effetre Light and Dark Turquoise, Opal Yellow and Double Helix Silvered glass. I have used most of these same colors in the smaller accent beads as well and added assorted decorative beads to fill out the Cha Cha Style. Good thing I stocked up on French Blue before they retired it as it's always been one of my favorite colors to use. It will be a sad day when I run out!!!</div>

That's it for this post. I may even get one more blog post up yet today. It will feel good to get all caught up but my torch is calling me and on top of that, I had some new glass delivered yesterday and that is also hard to resist. Check back to see what won out.......<br />

After dealing with some very frustrating issues with my FL internet service, I finally am on line long enough to create a blog post!!! <br />
<br />
Let's start by catching up with all the earrings I made prior to my shows and open house. Some of these are sold and some are still for sale though my studio or at The Mermaids Bite on 5th Ave. in Naples Florida! <br />

I am often asked if these beads are really glass or if they are beach glass that I have made into a bead. These are my own beads, made the same way I make all my other beads but I etch them at the end to give them that frosty sea glass look. When I took some of these to the Mermaids Bite Gallery last month I found out that sea glass is also called Mermaid's tears. So I may change the name of these to Mermaid's tear earrings as I kind of like that better! We will see how it catches on.<br />
<br />
Here are a few more that are also etched and customers often think they are clay. These are also glass but the etching process makes them have this wonderful texture and I think they sometimes look like the striations in Arizona rock. <br />

<span style="background-color: white;">I can't believe it's been so long since I've updated my bead blog. I have wonderful reasons why though! Business was great through the holiday season and I also kept busy doing shows, making commissioned pieces, as well as enjoying family over the holidays!!! I just never seemed to have the time to take the photos let alone edit them and get them posted either here or on my facebook page. And my poor artfire site is getting pretty bare. This week was the first time I sat at the torch and just experimented a bit with what I felt like creating instead of making specific beads for specific orders and I must say, I loved it. Sometimes I miss the freedom to create whatever and whenever I want. Now that things are slowing down I have photos to share. Since I wasn't sure where to start, I decided to share the new fish beads I've been working on. I created a few before the open house and the reaction was pretty positive so I made some more. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">It was a great class! I love making all of these beads. Many of these had my own ideas of different glass mixtures in them. I like seeing what I can create after I have learned from someone instead of just making beads with the information shared. The possibilities are great and as soon as I get my regular orders finished, my blog caught up, and everything ready for the shows I have coming up, I'll be back to making more of these!!!! Can't wait!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br />
Thanks for stopping by and taking a look at my beads! I'll be back soon!</span><br />

I did get to make beads this summer but didn't have time to photograph, edit and blog about them so now it's catch up time once again.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br />
Most recently, I got to take an amazing 2 day class with Hayley Tsang so the first beads I will share are all made using my newest skills and techniques from the class. The first day of class she taught us how to make silvered glass murrini . I now have a nice little stash of my own handmade murrini!!!! It was quite a process and I'm not sure I will be a big murrini maker but I sure can appreciate the time and talent it takes to make them!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br />
So on to the good stuff - the photos:</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;">Each of the above 4 beads look different from all sides but I didn't want to have 4 pictures of each one. I really enjoyed making these beads. I have some refining to do, especially with my stringer application, but I have lots of ideas in my head now about making beads similar to this only with a totally different feel to them. I'm excited to experiment!! As usual with silvered glass, it was hard to get a good photograph of the shine and colors on each of these beads - they are much prettier in person!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br />
The next beads are my first attempts, using my own set up (torch, bead release, etc.) and I found that my usual bead release could not hold up to all that goes into making one of these beads. I thought that might be a problem as one of my favorite bead releases comes off pretty easy and cleans up on the inside of the beads without any residue. I tested my normal release as well as some stronger mud I had in the back of my cupboard. Sure enough, I'll be using mud style release when I make these beads. This is the second style of bead Hayley taught us in her class. Of course these do not hold a candle to hers and I have a lot of practice to do on this style. They are one of my favorite beads though, when done right!!!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br />
I'll share my favorite first:</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;">This is the bead I was making on my regular release and I had to stop before I finished the design but I still like the bead and the color came out great - it's the famous Clio formula.</span><br />

This bead has a base of Triton. It was my first bead of the day and typically those are not my best beads and this one is no exception.</span><br />

As you can probably tell, my class with Hayley was awesome!!!! It was held at Bead Republic in Naperville, IL and I would love to return for more classes there. They have a great set up and lots of great supplies. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming - students and staff!!! I can't say enough great things about the owner and her business. If you are a bead maker and near this area take a look at their schedule of classes - they have some great ones coming up!!!</span><br />

While my daughter was home for a few weeks this summer, we took a Shambhala bracelet class together. We kind of went nuts making a bunch of these but they are so much fun to make while you are visiting, watching TV or a movie, or any of the other hanging out stuff Mom's and Daughters do. I can't tell you which one of us made which ones (except my first two that I made - they are the only ones I remember for sure are mine) but here are just some of them:</span><br />

I invested in an entry level coring devise this summer. I am only using copper and brass at this point but once I get comfortable with my skills I will use sterling. </span><br />

I like the look of a cored and capped bead. I am putting a dapping block and tools on my Christmas wish list so I can make my own caps too. I would love to take a class to learn how to use PMC to make about 3 things that I use often. I think I could come up with some great designs of my own to enhance my beads. There is just soooo much I want to learn how to do but I don't want to pull time away from making beads - I need to collaborate with a metal artist I think - at least until I can learn some of these things myself. At the pace I'm going I think I need to find a collaborator soon!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br />
I'll be back soon! Thanks for not giving up on my blog and stopping back to catch up with me. Hope you all had a fun summer too!</span><br />
