Announcement

There's a giveaway going on over at Kristi Bowman's blog.

It's not these earrings but I just wanted to show you how she paired my criffles with her snakeskin bails.

Pretty cool I'd say!

Some new stuff going up over at my Etsy shop.

I was on a bit of a lull in my head. I wish I could blame it on the heat  but it's kind of the opposite up here in the subarctic 64th parallel.

waking up to more grey and rain and 49 F degrees.

Oh, let's see it's up to 59 today, woot!

In any casee I'll be off on a trip back east to Maine in a few weeks to enjoy some perfect summer weather by the bay hopefully.

I was so excited by my new sampler pack of enamels.

I still have the same enamels that I started with back 15 years ago.

I wasn't going through them all that fast just rolling my beads in them.

But now this copper enameling operation is using it up much faster.

There were all these new colors that I hadn't seen before!

Turns out they were transparent rather than the opaque I had always been using. 

So the effect was a bit different, some may work. I rather like the way these came out.
