Funny Photo

So, the big news in the Seattle area today is the snow. We just don't get it very often and at my home I have about six inches, some areas have over a foot or more. What I think is bigger news: shopping Rosters. Check out this funny guy trying to be let in at the Staples in Issaquah. I think he was just trying to get warm, check out the wet ground, it was pouring rain. Please excuse the poor photo, taken with my flip phone.

NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS

It is that time of year again, time to come up with a plan for the next year. Last year's resolution and this year's for my beadmaking are the same; to use bright colors. I really like making organic beads, but I'm drawn to the bright beads. At my studio I tend to gravitate to the greens and browns, but if I'm shopping I want the bright reds, blues, greens and purples. I'm not sure what this means, but I'm going to try to make brighter beads this year.

Seen here are a few attempts at bright beads from this year.
