10/12/2011 - I haven't been on here in awhile! It took me 20 minutes just to figure out how to get here to be able to update my page! So, what have I been up to lately? Well, I finished grad school in May. It was a 3 year program and that pretty much took up all of my time. I made beads at various times during that period but never had time (made time?) to take photos and list them on Ebay or Etsy. Now that I have graduated, I hope to focus on making beads, selling beads, etc before I start looking for a J-O-B. I look forward to just taking some time off from school and work and hopefully having some time to be creative.
I took a class with Corina (www.corinabeads.com) last weekend. I have made beads off and on for nearly 10 years, Corina's book and tutorials are how I learned, so it was very exciting for me to get to take a class with her in real life. What clicked for me is that I need to work on my heat control to get finer stringer work and dots, so that is what I am practicing now. Hopefully, it will become evident in my future work. It was really a great class! Corina is so generous with her knowledge and looking at her beads in person is very inspiring. Our Bead Buddies group is really a great group of women that are also inspiring in talent and personality! We were even the subject of Corina's latest newsletter!
I just wanted to let everyone know that I am still alive & still making beads! Now, back to my torch and practicing heat control...pictures soon!
