Monday Morning Blues & News

Hi everyone, I had a lovely birthday weekend, and am going into this new week full of ideas for some amazing new beads and glass items.

I have posted a link to my ETSY with some thumbnails of beauties I have up currently, but I'm working on other ideas as well. Feel free to email me if you have any thoughts of glass art you'd like to see here.

Was surfing YouTube this weekend, and saw a few GREAT torching videos I'll share here... I NEVER get tired of learning new techniques and seeing the awesome ideas others come up with.

The first one is by GlassRoger, how to create a Hummingbird bead
This next one is a basic bead making tut from TheOnlyDuda She's using a bethlehem torch like mine, and I think I have MORE glass rods than her, but her frit collection FAR outshines mine LOL. Finally, Kerry of KABSConcepts makes a Disc bead .

Here is a picture of a new bead concept I am working on. Other have used keys for round beads... I am making Hearts on Antique Keys Let me know what you think, ok?
Just wanted to add we've had an AWFUL week here in Switzerland, FL. In TWO DAYS we have over 14 inches of rain. I think the entire week totalled over 19 inches. Here is a picture of my back yard & pond. What a mess......... almost lost the tractor in the pond.

Anyway, Have a GREAT Monday morning, I'll be back soon.
Hugs,
Lynnie
