Exciting News

I'm so excited to tell you I ordered my kiln! yay it will be here tomorrow :-)! I'm so excited that my beads will no longer need to be batch annealed. That mean I'll be able to use them the day after I make them! If your wondering which kiln I got I ordered the chili pepper kiln. Nell (my lampwork teacher) has that kiln, and told me it was the one I should get :).

As I'm sure you all know I've been really into lampwork lately even though I'm not very good at it lol. I'm probably the last person on earth to find out about Kristina Logan. She is an amazing lampwork artist I mean really amazing. Check out her website Here. Also check out these videos I found of her on YouTube.

Crazy talented right? It's amazing how effortless she makes it look. She makes it look soooooo much easier than it really is! I've noticed that with lampworking though it deffently does look alot easier than it is lol.

Happy Beading,

Online Selling

I've been wanting to open an online store for quite awhile, but I'm not quite sure on which website. Do you have any recommendations? I'm thinking Etsy but if you have a different site that you like better please let me know. Thanks Ladies :)

Sorry for the awful pictures :(

Orange :)

Orange is a very neglected color in my jewelry making so I decided to use it in a couple necklaces :) I really like how the chain looks :)

All the lampwork beads were done by Nell Stanley (click her name to be taken to her artfire) :)
