Carol Thompson of Manitoba, Canada has won the heart bead in Novembers draw. So Congrats to her! I have wracked my little brain for something new and exciting to go up for the holiday month. I just made a beautiful little hollow bead in pale green transparent..rolled it in pure .999 silver and bits of crushed glass. It's not ready for its picture yet..it just got out of the kiln this morning and doesn't have its face on yet :)but we will get it on early in the week. Hopefully you will consider it a special gift bead.
The strangest thing happened during the creation of my snowman sculptural bead. I had made the hollow and was finished shaping it when it developed a hole in the glass! It began as a pinprick and right in front of me began to widen..I plugged it with a daub of transparent glass and continued to decorate. The window into the hollow is perfectly placed in the center of the bead...I couldn't have planned it better. So, my little snowboy has a magical belly button!.. and I think he knows it..:D
