Happy Independence Day!

Enjoy your Holiday and all the

special meanings it has to you and yours.

Here are a few new pieces from the torch. 

I am also working to improve my photography,

with the expert guidance of my studio pal, Lisa Atchison. 

What do you think?

am happy with this one to date.

Schparklie new world marble

My world is extra sparklie right now

and it shows in this marble.

I'm trying to decide which marble stands to order. 

The acrylic or the gold and silver. (Silver not pictured). 

Let me know what you think....

This might be the strangest bead

I've ever made.

had our first weekend of torching and

lapidary play this weekend.

finished. I will add detail to this one

and be sure and post the finished bead.

and scroll down and see Lisa's

on her blog. They are so over the

top, but who would expect less

from my Lisa ;-D

Solar Flares

I made my first boro murrini and got

captivated by twisting and turning them

on the surface of the lense. When they

strike, they remind me of solar flares.

So then....

I've been so crazy busy lately that I have

so much to show you. I'm going to zoom

thru a couple phases that you've missed.
