The main bead was made with soft greens and dark turquoise.  I rolled it in frit and then encased it in clear glass.  The two small disc beads are of the same green and dangle above.  The entire piece is on dark brown leather cord with antiqued copper findings.  Fun, motion and beautiful....

Fall continues to be gorgeous and full of amazing colors. These simple disc beads on multi-colored leather dangles touch a couple of the colors.  Each day brings new colors and new ideas to try to match in glass.  I will be at Portville High School on November 9-10th for a craft and antique show. Fall colors will show up there...as well as gifts galore...
Have a wonderful weekend!

It has been way toooooooooo long! The summer was amazing and now here we are in full-on fall.  I am preparing for shows and back at the torch.. Back in the blog saddle again!!  I am going to be preparing for a 2 day show in Portville. I will post details.  Dare I say it...I will also start thinking about the holidays and open up at Etsy once again. I hope all is well and more to come soon soon soon!!

 Today could not be more beautiful!  It is the perfect temp. The sun is out and I am slowing shrinking my list of things to do.  I finished up a very special custom order today and was pleased with it.  The beads are made of a clear glass and rolling in a violet-like frit. I love how it turned out.    I look forward to shipping today and having it find a new home... even though I would love to keep it for myself. 

This summer has been amazing so far. I have really tried to slow down and be thankful, thankful, thankful! It's all around us and it's amazing. I hope the summer is going well out there.

Summer Bliss!  I am not complaining by any means but it has been a hot week at the torch! Summer has been amazing so far- so much so that I have been a terrible blogger.  But things are getting more organized and I am at SAM in the morning.  This city keeps dishing out amazing events and weekends!   So, hope to see you at SAM from 10-5!

Good Morning!!! Today is going to be 70 and sunny in gorgeous downtown Buffalo! Come to the wharf and enjoy some music, art, and scenery.  SAM is up and running from 10-5!
