I just ran out of gas!!! Boo hoo!!!  And of course stupid me never got my little back up filled after emptying it too!
I did manage to get the three last beads made for the set I’ve been wanting to finish.  I could really tell I was getting low on gas when I was working on the last one, kept hoping it’d last long enough to finish.  Thankfully, it did!

Even managed to get some short rod ends melted onto new rods so I dont waste any glass!  I have a heap of shorts that I need to melt together, I just get so lazy about them lol

Since my gas ran out I decided to give the shed a clean out.  I didn’t realise how much dirt and grit and tiny leaves had accumulated in there!   I completely cleared off my torching desk and washed the surface down.  Knowing my luck though, with all this wind we’ve had it will probably all be filthy again next time I go to torch!

I’m really dying for my studio/glass house now.   So many plans!  I’ll have a level floor, no wind with grit to fly in, decent visible storage, hopefully no spiders!!  I’d love to get it hooked up with electricity as well, so I have lights and outlets for the crock pot, etc.  Don’t know if that’ll happen though.  It’s getting to the stage where I’m tempted to get quotes from builders for it instead of buying it as a kit and putting it together myself (with help of course)  I have a visual in my mind, will have to wait and see if it’ll become a reality.

Ok, I just realised I’m rambling lol  So I’ll say toodle loo!  And catch ya later!

Well, two of my latest Ebay listings have had to be relisted.

The woman that won the auctions asked to be let off the hook.  I checked her previous feedback and believe her reason to be genuine so I let her know and applied for the fees to be credited.

Soooo this means that Veridios and Bacchus are available again!  I’ve only listed them for five days this time as they’ve already been around for a week.  I’ve also notified the losing bidders that they’ve been relisted so hopefully someone will want to give them a new home.

Any sets that don’t end up selling on Ebay, will be listed on my website and/or in my Etsy store.

I didn’t get any torching done today, been busy running around doing things.  I hope to finish a set tomorrow, as well as get some other beads made up.

Toodles!

I finally got around to finishing the fourth set I wanted to put on ebay. It revisits the same colour palette as my Marina beads, with a couple of changes in the colours used. This set I’ve also etched to give it a lovely soft matt finish.

Anyway, enough chatter! Here are the beads!

Coventina, The Celtic Water Goddess…

On some news about the colour palettes, I’m currently working on a new one, with another to be started soon. I’ll post more about them when they’re complete.

Cheers!

I went to pick up my entries for the Sydney Royal Easter Show today, and discovered I get something extra for being picked for the Standard of Excellance display!

I got an extra ribbon (purple with a ruffled rosette) and gift voucher, but the thing that got me really excited is a gorgeous bronze medallion! It’s huge! About 5cm round and is rather heavy. Something to treasure for years to come.

Anyway, I couldn’t contain my excitement and had to show you all a scan of it. I scanned both sides.
