BAY AREA BEAD EXTRAVAGANZA <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">This is a shameless plug for the last show I am doing this year! BABE! November 17th and 18th. </span><a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001xXUukuhFnU--94nbYYsHvGfavQ0OUNdna_-fH5YQEjSxIDscWdLWNJh73gTEVJ-BcTrcVYveT35cUk6oe7mGAY4m8w37I6pFfjfZq7B9F7_hY18qk2yPCJW4YPfYJ-PO-S6nl0v6w4II6a6mGOtK9he51m5S99tcSPN073N_xFxzHqRfQS4V3g==&c=kO2LaFgSIDsu77nfxdvVlSkeOQYroH-AbJwFQWJT6mxhv_JRDQOS9g==&ch=9S_PZwpeJBYomLWwp73XO5HhJ6edraH5Ja-KyJ2lbtWfAUuZqSk5Bg==" target="_blank"><span style="color: #004db4;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">beadextravaganza.com</span></span></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">I should be writing all about the things I have been doing, which is a lot, but that is my problem. Too much to do! I am finding myself running from one thing to another with little preparation in advance. So, now I am updating my blog at the last minute so if you come here after reading my latest newsletter you will see something new! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">I could write a book on all of the things I have done in the last month but that would be so boring for you! Yes or no? I am never sure how much personal things you want to know. Or if you just want to know about beads and jewelry. Please leave a note in my comment section below to let me know! I would really appreciate it! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">I am obsessed with everything to do with Day of the Dead or Dia De Los Muertos, the Spanish word. It is a Mexican holiday celebrated throughout Mexico and the world. It wasn't something I was familiar with when I lived in Minnesota but I came to find out about it when I moved to San Diego. Especially because it is also my birthday. It is also the christian holiday of All Souls Day and All Saints Day. Tradition is to honor those who have passed by building altars called ofrendas using sugar skulls, marigolds, and the favorite foods of those passed. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">This is a typical altar. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">My main focus is the sugar skulls and </span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">I watched a lot of you tube videos on how to do this. It has been something I wanted to do but just never did. So this year I was taking my grand girls to Disneyland for a Halloween party and I decided the time was right. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">My next project is to make a necklace with one and add a body using other beads.

By 5pm it started to hail. It quickly turned to snow but with thunder! I watched out the window as a layer of snow started to cover the ground. I made hot chocolate and turned up the heater. I don't know how cold it got but we were cozy in our little cabin. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">The dogs got me up early and I was anxious to see what it looked like outside. A beautiful layer of snow on the ground and on the trees. I remember this from my years in Minnesota. The first snow. Wanting to keep it pristine and not make tracks. I haven't missed snow all these years in California. But somehow snow in the mountains is different. The trees are different and of course there are mountains. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">The dogs were having a great time on the deck running back and forth and playing in the snow. But I knew what they were really wanting to do. Make those tracks! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">I leave my heavy coats here along with warm socks and a scarf. I forgot gloves and a hat at home! I am not serious about snow or cold weather! The sun was out and the snow was starting to melt so I knew that once I started walking I would be fine. I did put some socks on my hands to start! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Steve was curious to see what his boat looked like so that is the first place we went. Oh my! Lake Mamie was like glass and the trees, well just look at how beautiful! The boat was covered in snow as I knew it would be. No tracks down on the dock and I didn't want to disturb that snow. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">I knew the dogs wouldn't be happy just looking around so I took them to the other side of Lake Mamie where we always walk.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">It is always beautiful but with the snow it was another kind of beauty. Most likely the snow will be all gone by tomorrow. A high of 58 today and in the 60's tomorrow. Maybe one day more for fishing then the boat comes out of the water for the drive home in a day or two. The umbrellas and chairs come in and everything gets buttoned up for the season. I hope my little flower garden makes it through the winter but I won't know till next June or July. Depending on how much it snows this winter and how quickly spring comes determines when we can get back in the cabin. </span><br />

But I do have new beads! </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">My bead Buddie, Donna Struthers, (many of you may know Donna as we have always done the San Diego Bead Bazaar together.) has decided that her days of doing bead shows are over! (I still hope to convince her to join me once in awhile.) </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Getting ready for a show can be stressful. We often feel like we shouldn't work in the garden or have coffee with girlfriends. We feel like we should make beads instead. We can never have enough beads and jewelry. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">While Donna has decided to only make beads when she feels like it I have inherited her beads! We have a similar style but yet different. I love to use her beads so why not just buy all of her beads? That is what I did! It is a win win for both of us! I now have more beads! </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I want to share them with you. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Most of them are hollow beads in browns, golds, white, and green. They all have a mat</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> finish. </span></span><br />

Aren't they great? I can't wait to use them in my jewelry designs. If you are interested in any of these beads, let me know. I will be putting some of the beads on my etsy store but not until <b>September</b>. <br />
<br />
My retail studio in Spanish Village Art Center has been stocked with new beads and new jewelry. If you are looking for something special or just looking be sure to check out Studio 9. Hours are 11am to 4pm every day.<br />
<br />
Take care! Thanks!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I love summer. Summer means time in Mammoth Lakes California. We have a small cabin in the woods and summer is the only time we can use it. We try spend as much time as we can. I love the smell of the mountains and the quiet. I bring my beads and a lot of my jewelry supplies so I can work on pieces when I am not hiking or just chilling out. What happens when I am back in San Diego is bead production and working at <b>Studio 9 in Balboa Park</b>. I also love to make beads so this going back and forth to the cabin is hard on bead making. Tough life I have! LOL! </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Summer also means the <b>Pasadena Bead and Design Show July 25th through July 28th</b> and the <b>San Diego Bead Society Annual Bead Bazaar August 3rd and 4th.</b> These are great shows for me to sell and shop!

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: large;"> I have been missing a <b>turquoise</b> color in my <b>"torch fired enamel"</b> beads. I use turquoise often in glass beads but the blues I use in the "torch fired enamel" beads didn't go with them. So here I am introducing my new color. I love it! I can't wait to use it in a design. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: large;">Also, I am introducing some new shapes. Large and small leaves; small domed flowers; round drain disks; and a large filigree pendant. How can they be used you ask? </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: large;">I have used the large leaf as a focal in a necklace. It is so nice and light! Actually all of the "torch fired enamel" beads are very light. They add texture and color to designs. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: large;">The small leaf is great to add to the end of a necklace or as a dangle. It adds a pop of color. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: large;">I haven't had a chance to make a piece of jewelry with the filigree pendant yet. Maybe I will have something to show you at the <b>Pasadena Bead and Design Show</b> or at the <b>SD Bead Bazaar</b>. My thought it to use it as a pendant/bail and hang pieces from it. Or to use it as an element in a necklace. Also, I have formed some of the pendants over my wrist so I can use it in a bracelet. </span></div>

I get distracted easily? Do you too? I had a cappuccino to get me moving.... </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Tomorrow, <b>Sunday, May 5th</b>, I am driving up to Huntington Beach to see Erin and Iris at <b>Beadology Bead Company. </b>They are wonderful ladies and their store is full of great bead finds! I will have all of my glass beads, torch fired beads and jewelry samples with me. I have made some really fun earrings and necklaces. If you got my email then you saw some of them. My hubby has taken over my photography and it has really helped. Except that I have to remind him to take them! And then I have to find them afterwards! Nothing is perfect, but I can't complain too loudly after all. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Before I show you some of the photos, here is <b>Beadology's </b>address: <b>16085

<span style="font-size: x-large;">This is my first time joining <b>Lori Anderson's Bead Soup Blog Party! </b>Lori had 500 people sign up this time! Can you imagine having to coordinate all of us? Whew! Hats off to Lori! </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I've been excited to post my finished pieces I made with the wonderful bead stash from <b>Marti Conrad</b>. As I mentioned before, she makes ceramic beads, buttons and focals. She does beautiful work and I am so pleased to be paired with her. Here is Marti's <a href="http://www.marticsclay.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><b>BLOG</b></a>. She also has an <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/MartiC51" target="_blank"><b>ETSY</b></a> store. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">This challenge was just what I needed to keep my creative juices flowing. I get caught up in feeling I have to use my beads so it was freeing to <b>play</b> with a whole stash of other beads! Thank you Lori and Marti! </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">AND lastly, here is what I made with her beads! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I have watch <b>Lori Anderson </b>do the <b>Bead Soup Blog Party</b> for a couple of years. I enjoyed looking at bead stashes that were sent out and then seeing the final pieces that were made. Very inspiring! So this time I decided to jump on the band wagon so to speak and sign up. It is the <b>7th Bead Soup Blog Party</b>! I have been paired up with <b><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://ceramicbeadartists.com/bio.php?pg=dx102" target="_blank">Marti Conrad,</a></span> </b>a ceramic bead artist. Here is the stash she sent me:</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">They are so lovely! The green beads and the large focal are the ceramic pieces she made. The beads on the left are wooden! I love them! On the right are some red/gold gems. The colors go together so nice! I am already thinking about how I will use them. So different from what I make and that is the point of this. Lori pairs people up so we have to work outside of our box. </span></div>

I guess I don't have to have an excuse to be lazy but I feel like I should be doing something constructive. Ha! Do you have days like this? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Well, I got off my butt and took photos of parts and beads that I have acquired and made lately. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">First up are the things I acquired at the Pasadena Bead & Design Show a couple of weeks ago. I traded with some wonderful artists that were near me. I keep looking at the stash and my head is still spinning with ideas for using them. Do you have any ideas for them?</span> <br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Patricia Healey was behind me and what a hoot she is! She was a great person to have around for 4 days. No dull time with her! She makes these beautiful copper beads and findings. She designs them and has them made in Mexico. My plan is to use them with my torch fired enamel beads. I got beads, dangles and more!</span> <br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Another fun stash of beads and pendants! These are from XAZ Bead Company. They are raku beads. They make each bead, fires them, then glazes and fires again. It is the last firing that it is done with paper that brings out the beautiful raku! They are nice and light and will make wonderful pieces!</span> <br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Just to prove I have been doing something...... here are some of my heart beads. Since Valentine's Day is around the corner I thought I should stock up on some of my favorite hearts. I never get tired of making these.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">And lastly,here are some components that I have been playing with in aluminum wire. You may have seen the necklace I did with aluminum wire work that was polished to look like silver. I purchased some more 14g aluminum wire that is stiffer and darker. I like to work it better as it doesn't get marks so easily. I hammered it and then tumbled it. It didn't get as shiny as the last batch. It looks oxidized. You can see the piece in the middle and the one below that haven't been tumbled. I like it and you will probably start to see it in some of my jewelry. Much lighter than silver and of course more affordable. I am not going to stop using sterling silver but I want to be able to offer a range of price points for my jewelry designs. What do you think of the aluminum? Would you use it?</span> Jan Petekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01472041208662491004noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569264083496944014.post-37815217587082676792013-01-22T16:02:00.005-08:002013-01-22T16:02:52.612-08:00POST SHOW BLUES<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Thanks to everyone who stopped by my booth and purchased beads at the <b>Pasadena Bead & Design show </b>this past weekend.

I am going into the studio this afternoon to make glass beads. I am hoping that will calm my mind. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">For my birthday, I treated myself to a two day art retreat in Claremont, CA. The class was taught by Riki Schumacher and the project was a photo frame. Of course, I haven't finished mine yet..... But it was such a fun class. We also went to a flea market at the Pasadena Community College that was so overwhelming but with great finds! If you have a chance to take a class with Riki, don't pass it up. Here is a link to <a href="http://rikijewelry.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">her</a>.</span></span> <br />

<span style="font-size: large;">In December I had a girls day at the Vintage Marketplace in Rainbow, CA. About 1 hour north of me in San Diego. This adorable truck is at the entrance. I should have taken photos of the booth displays but they are all so beautiful it is a bit overwhelming. Great buys, I definitely recommend going to this show if you like vintage pieces and are in the area. They have it about every 3 months. Here is a<a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Vintage-Marketplace/142866075779195" target="_blank"> link to their facebook page. </a></span></div>

As for beads and stuff, I am getting ready for the Pasadena Bead & Design Show in Pasadena, CA this coming week. Thursday through Sunday, 17th to 20th. Hilton Pasadena, 168 S Los Robles Ave, Pasadena CA. I will be in the International Ballroom. I have been making "torch fired enamel" beads and glass beads for weeks in preparation. It is a beautiful show with so much more than beads. I hope you check it out. For more info go to www.pasadenabeadanddesignshow.com </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ok, here is the scoop on my
new beads! The beads are metal. I start by putting a mandrel through the bead
hole and then heat them up in my torch. (The same torch that I use to make my
glass beads.) I dip the hot bead in a powdered glass, enamel, and put back in
the flame to melt. I add about 2 or 3 coats.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Since the price of silver
has increased over the last couple of years, I have been looking for a <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">less expensive</b> alternative to silver
beads and dangles for my jewelry designs. I found it with these enameled beads.
I still get to sit at my torch and make beads. The color palette for the “torch
fired enamel beads” is the same as my glass beads so I make complimentary glass
beads. </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">How </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">less expensive do you ask?</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> <o:p></o:p></span></b></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">The torch fired beads are
priced at $6 to $3! <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Here are some samples of my
jewelry designs using these new beads.</span></span><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>The Fall Patio Show</strong> is here and I am ready! Yeah!!!! I can always make a few more beads or another piece of jewelry. It is really never ending in my world. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">I have been busy making my new components, <strong>Torch Fired Enamel beads</strong> and pieces, and <strong>glass beads.</strong> Blues, Greens, Oranges, Reds, and lots of fall colors. Here is <strong>ONE </strong>of my bead trays. Did you know I love to make beads?</span> <br />

So many fun and relaxing days this year at the cabin. The longest season for us so far and the warmest! </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">We need snow. I am not a winter or snow person. Did that, done that. The lakes are down and the trees are showing stress. The town depends on tourists who come for snow. </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Here is hoping it will be a good winter season! (And hopefully not too much snow so we can get in the cabin in June!)</span></strong> <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>SpanishVillage Art Center</strong> is an artist community that was built in <strong>1935</strong> for the <strong>2nd California Pacific International Exposition.</strong> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In 1937, the Spanish village reopened as an art destination by a group of
dedicated artists.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">During <strong>World War II</strong> the U.S. Army used the village for
temporary barracks, and in <strong>1947</strong> it was reclaimed and restored by the artists.
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Over the last 60+ years, San Diego artists have continued to preserve and
enhance this historical landmark by adding to its beauty with colorful flowers
and unique entryways. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Today, the <strong>Spanish Village Art Center</strong> continues to be a thriving community of
over <strong>200 artisans</strong> who share their talent and the love of all things art with
you. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Independently juried local <strong>painters,</strong> <strong>sculptors, metalsmiths,</strong> <strong>jewelry
designers, clay artists, gourd artists, photographers, printmakers, fiber
artists, basket makers, mixed-media artists, glass artists, enamel artists </strong>and
many many more await you at the <strong>Spanish Village Art Center.</strong> </span><br />

I want a statement that describes my work in just a few words. I am having a lot of trouble doing just that. When I read where an artist gets their inspiration they talk about nature, the ocean, the desert or even recycled products. Me, I like color! I am always seeing colors that I can use in my beads. One day I was driving by a Taco Bell and I noticed their color scheme on the building. Mustard, clay tile, purple, olive green and khaki. I kept repeating the colors in my head till I got home. I made some really fun beads with those colors! I have a jewelry collection I call "Out of Africa". The colors are khaki, black, ivory, mustard, red roof tile, brown, and coral. I used patterns that I saw on fabric. Unfortunately, the patterns were very hard to put on a small bead! LOL! I am drawn to bright colors usually. I love the bold colors of Mexican decor and the soft colors of French Country. Do they compete with each other? How can I describe that? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Where do you get your inspirations? You may do art, interior decoration or just admire the work of others. But you too are inspired by things around you. Do you look at magazines? What kind? I tend to look mostly at the jewelry magazines; Step by Step Wire Jewelry, Bead and Button, Art Jewelry, Lapidary Jewelry Artist, and Belle Armoire Jewelry. My latest favorites are Jewelry Affaire, Somerset Studios, and Where Women Create. They are all published by </span><a href="http://www.stampington.com/magazines/index.php" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">Stampington & Company</span></a><span style="font-size: large;">. For me they are showing all sorts of things other than just jewelry which I have found refreshing. Do you subscribe to newsletters or blogs? I subscribe to toooo many! But I really enjoy reading and sometimes just looking at the photos. Lately I have enjoyed three newsletters I get from Interweave Publications; </span><a href="http://www.clothpaperscissors.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">Cloth, Paper & Scissors</span></a><span style="font-size: large;">, </span><a href="http://www.jewelrymakingdaily.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">Jewelry Making Daily</span></a><span style="font-size: large;">, and </span><a href="http://www.beadingdaily.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">Beading Daily</span></a><span style="font-size: large;">. They have lots of photos which I like and great tips for all sorts of crafts. Even if it isn't a craft I do I have found lots of inspirations from them. Plus of course I have purchased some great digital project sheets and magazines. (I am getting rid of my stacks of magazines all over the house to getting only digital magazines. ) Purchasing their products is probably the main purpose of their newsletters BUT I really do get inspirations without purchasing anything. Most of the time anyway! LOL! I would love to know about places you go for inspirations. Please post in comments below. I am always open for new inspirations. Thanks!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">OK, I have babbled long enough so are you ready for some photos. Maybe I have already lost you and I should have put them up front. Oh well! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I got a new photo set up. I am still working on getting the lighting correct but here are some photos of my torch fired enamel beads and jewelry.</span> <br />

It was another beautiful day here in Mammoth Lakes, CA. I just kept checking one more thing and before I knew it, it was noon! I had changed out of my pj's and cleaned up a bit however. My grand kids are here with us but right now they are in love with our neighbors who have two boys, 8 and 4. I think they like their parents too! They built a Tepee today. So no wonder they didn't want to go on a walk with me and the dogs! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">We did go to Panum Crater yesterday. This area has lots of craters to explore. We were on the hunt for more obsidian. We found huge rocks of it. Unfortunately, there was a sign that said no collecting. I didn't actually see it so when the girls showed me what they collected I didn't know they were breaking a rule. But the rocks are happy now in our obsidian garden at the cabin. </span><br />
