Monday, December 6

Holidays are fast approaching, are you ready?

The holidays are in full swing in my world, trying to balance time between the "day-job" and time in the glass studio. With the daylight disappearing earlier each day, it seems that I am heading to the studio most days in the dark and cold here on the east coast of Canada.
Luckily, I have wonderful studio lights and a wood burning stove that warms the studio and heats the hot cocoa for a cosy evening.

Over the fast few days, I had time to try out a few new glasses that I received over the last couple of weeks, including Double Helix's Kalypso and a new golden transparent from Effetre, aptly name 14K.
I also enjoyed spending some time making spacers. It is important sometimes to completely clear the mind and focus on making groups of spacers to test my consistency in "putting glass to mandrel". Along with experimenting with new glasses, practice is important in glass bead making skills. Check out my dark ivory and red copper green spacers..

All sets this week are available through Ebay auctions, closing next Sunday evening. 

Over this coming week, I will be testing out additional unique batches of CiM glass, combining them with more silver glass. Expect good things!

REMINDER: Earrings are on sale in my Artfire studio, buy 2 or more pairs and receive $5.00 each pair.. With the coupon code PENDRAGONFYREBUY2SAVE , many pairs are 50% off.

Enjoy your week!
