Some days

  Well  I had a post that was supposed to load at 12:30 AM this morning. It was part of Andrew Thornton's Allegory Gallery Magic Potion reveal.  Where the post went, I don't know and the piece was a gift for a friend so I don't have it anymore and I can't locate the picture.  Such is the wonder of the internet.
   AND AFTER I POST THIS - THEN IT SHOWS UP.  GO FIGURE. 

Magic Potion Reveal

So I purchased one of Andrew Thornton's kits, the Magic Potion and the reveal is October 27th.  I really haven't done much beading over the last two years due to health issues.  I did complete the piece and working with Lucite is different.  I added the potion bottle after doing a bit of staining on it so it would go better with the components. So enjoy.

I'd really like to win this - great for crimps, clasps, wire and tools. 

It's been a bit of a roller coaster year but life is improving this fall.  So here's a piece I recently completed for a friend.  Not fancy but sweet - much like Melissa for whom it is for.  Done in 11o' Delicas.  I am back to beading and that feels great.

 

Update 2016

  Well my health has not improved as I had hoped it would. I'm finally getting my beads sorted out to create a few things. I will have some extra time to do beading as I have surgery next week and will be off work for three weeks. Nothing like cancer but taking positive actions to improve my health.
  Will post more about that later (at least that's the plan).
Hope 2016 is great for everyone.
