The beautiful ribbon took center stage when I wrapped sterling silver wire with pearls,crystals and seed beads to make a bead in it self. The soft blue in the Muse Lillypilly Design pendant I matched with my blue etched lampwork beads. I paired them with square purple etched beads from a local bead store. Sterling Silver wire wrapped the beads added silver chain and a Sterling Silver handmade clasp.

CERAMIC AND GLASS PENDANTS
Down the street from me there was this sign that said CERAMIC mind you I live far from anything so I was thinking lets take a class. I wanted to make pendants using up some frit I have.
It was all an experament with cute results. I think transparent glasses looks better. What do you think?

EARLY BUT NEVER TO LATE
I have been working on the holiday beads and fall colors. I am usually a day late and a dollar short so I started early this year. When is it time to put holiday beads up? I hate to put up too early it turns people off but all the fairs and shows for the holidays are starting in September.

SUMMER FUN
This week-end my friend came up for a visit, my granddaughter was here too. We went to the Amador County Fair. It was a lot of fun my friend doesn't mind going on the rides so Ta'Neal was happy. We also saw a rodeo. Bull riding and all. Made homemade Strawberry Jam. Planted a rock garden. Went swimming in the kiddie pool. Today I played at the torch, Its not that hot today so I wasn't dripping sweat all over the place. Sorry about the visual on that.
Will post some beads on etsy later today. I got some new tools from cgbeads.com they are beadrollers that help you make the same size bead every time
I have to bring the dog to the vet later as he has a big bald spot under his chin that he keeps playing with. He cut himself on something two weeks ago it didn't seen like a big deal but last night he scratched it raw. Have a nice day
