Gathering of Shells

The Gathering push is on. Today is packing day and then back to shells. Here are my shells from yesterday. Yes, the on in the front with the flowers on it is mine to go with my new "hippie" shirt ;-D

Trip to Morocco..come along?

My Color Challenge for Artists group is going on a mental journey this week. We are going to Morocco.

Here's our inspiration photo.

Luscious silks, rich tapestries,

Tone on tone elegance...ooooh ahhh.

Here's my first try at it with the pillows

in the bottom right as my inspiration.

Now I started to play with colors

that I think of when I think of Morocco.

I am pleased with the results and am still playing

with the direction these are taking.

Saturday's Harvest

I'm still playing with silvered glass and having so much fun. I love it with the organics. Here's my kiln harvest from Saturday.

Peacock Rock

Emerald Rock

Moonstone

At the end of the day, I thought, heck...

I'll just do something wild that will NEVER to together.

When will I learn...Lovin' this

Little Round Beadies

I made little beadies for the first time in a long time yesterday and forgot how much fun they were. Here's what I did with my little treasures.

Silvered Glass

Ok, now this is getting tricky. A whole new beast to me. Silvered glass can leave wonderful iridescent trails and blooming colors from within your bead or chasing across the surface. It's like trying to harness lightning....ohh, but so fun!

What's Up????

I've been a bit out of the game of late due to some big GERMS...ick! Feelin' better..ready to rock and roll. Here's a few I didn't get a chance to show ya'all last week. Hope ya'all are having a great week. Samma

Flowers in the Surf

Have you ever seen bright flowers floating in the surf? I saw it in Hawaii one time and this bead reminds me of that site.
