2.12.2020 - Pburrrrples in Texas.....

Gosh. I know we get a break for most weather, aside from the scorching and endless summers… but seriously - it dropped from 79 degrees to 42 on Monday. Is that just crazy?? Thank heaven I work at a torch and snuggle up to my kiln at the same time…

Last week I had a throwback set on my update - shown below… - I had forgotten how stunning these can be… and over the years hadn’t made many… so - on Monday & Tuesday (which are always torch time for me), I revisited this style.

I must admit - it’s the same general idea, just it’s gone wild. These are made with silver wire…

And these are made with the copper wire. Same idea, different materials… not exactly getting back to basics, but very pretty nonetheless. These are available on my update page tonight - for a very reasonable price… why? Because, I love to make beads - maybe you’re not a seasoned bead person, - well, here’s your opportunity to become one!! Smiles and shivers, Jill
