I'm back at work today, after a lovely day away from beads. It's so nice to take holidays; often I tend not to actually not work (please excuse that double-negative, I know it's grammatically incorrect) just because when you're self-employed, there's always something to do. But yesterday I really did take the day off. And since I have been working for Beads Forever I really enjoy weekends and time off, because my work time is more structured since I work in an office with other people. There's a lot to be said for being able to walk away from work and not think about it. I used to not be able to do that, but I'm getting better at it.
I made some really neat beads on Tuesday that were inspired by a set I saw on ebay. I loved this color combination, and had to make some beads in these colors. I'm getting ready to work at the torch for a bit and make some more beads for this set.

And for a little splash of color, here's a snippet of what my Burning Man pants look like. How divine is this color combination and fabric? Ooohhh, I love 'em!

I've been working on some new jewelry styles and color combinations and should have some new pieces to post on my site in the next week or so. I'll probably put some more previews up on the blog soon as well.

Happy June!

How did it get to be June already! I was always told as a little girl that the older you get, the faster time flies, but for some reason I never believed it. (Probably because I thought I knew everything then!) But boy, do I believe it now. (And I've also realized that there are lots of things that I don't know....LOTS!)

I've been busy filling orders this week, and working on my skirt and PMC at night. It's been a very creatively-productive and fulfilling week, and I'm really looking forward to a weekend where I can just create wildly for two days straight!

I made something really cool at the torch yesterday that I wanted to share with you. I have no idea what I'm going to do with it yet, but I'm going to make some more today because I really like it. This thing is about the size of a golfball, hollow, and has holes poked all around it. I thought it was going to crack several times while I was making it, and was so pleased when I opened the kiln door this morning to see this wild thing. Stay tuned to see what I make with this!

And on the "other creative endeavors" side, I am obsessed with altering my clothes now. Here's the skirt that I've been working on very diligently for a few days. Hoping to finish it this weekend.
