The Gathering!

Hi everyone,

I'll be at The Gathering, the biggest shindig of the International Society of Glass Beadmakers, from July 29th to August 1st.  This year it's in Rochester, NY.   The beads you see in my Etsy shop, and a whole lot more,  will be available for purchase at the Bead Bazaar at the Rochester Riverside Convention Center this Sat, July 31 from 10am-5pm.  Imagine actually touching them!  Hope to see you there!!!

In getting ready for this show, I made a really great gorilla and chimp face.  I'll try to get a picture up.  I absolutely love their expresssions.

Finally spent some time getting some jewelry ready for a juried show.  Worked till 3am, fit it in between long work days, but got some nice stuff.  Here is one.  I'm currently enjoying making neck pieces that clasp in the front.  Also having fun making crocheted chains out of fine wire.  I just really love the organic look.

Finally domain name stuff resolved!

If you've been trying to find my web page, your persistence has paid off.  You're here!  I have been moving my site to Google's blogger due to the ease of posting and there are so many features to today's blog, I will hardly miss ftping to my own site! 

Anyway, couldn't get hypermart, my old webhost and owner of my domain to make the changes after MANY calls and chats.  So I finally transferred to godaddy and here we are!  I hope to keep this site more up-to-date! 

One thing I can fill you in on is that I'm going to Murano this September with my beading buddy, Denise Billups Walker, to take a class from Lucio Bubacco!  I'm so excited I can't see straight.  Nine weeks to Murano!
