June | 2015 | something to do with your hands

Wow - get this! Blogging about a bead shop update before it happens! Not two weeks later! That heap of beads I was glazing are all done. I’ll be adding them to the shop tonight at 6.30pm (GMT). There aren’t going to be heaps of listings like the last couple of updates. A good part of that heap of beads I shared last time were for me.

So that’s me sorted! But there’s still over sixty new items, including lots of earring pairs!

Lots of headpins -

Pairs of some of my current favourite rounds -

Cone caps -

Various bead sets -

And assorted other things:

I also have this little pile which I’ll be sending off to Big Bead Little Bead very soon.

And I’ll also be offering a few of my other new pieces on Ceramic Art Bead Market, a Facebook auction site, which you can join easily just by clicking on ‘Join Group. That’s all for now! Hope to see you at 6.30 this evening in the bead shop. To finish, here’s a picture of a custom order I did - just like the picture…

It’s been wall-to-wall glazing here this week.I’ve got two batches of stoneware done and I’ve just put the first lot of earthenware in the kiln. I’m hoping I’ll get everything that’s left in one last firing. Please, Lord, let it be so. I’ve been thrilled with some of the stuff that’s come out of the stoneware firings. I’ve been meaning to take some quick pics to share here. But, before I move on to that, I haven’t shared the mother-load of jewellery that I’ve listed recently. Remember that ton of stuff I shared a post-or-so ago? I told myself then: you must list as you make (otherwise you end up with this epic load of listing to do all in one go). Yes, I’m sure I’ve said this before here too. Obviously, I didn’t followed this instruction and I had another stack to list. Thankfully, it is all in the shop now. Next time, next time…
