Last night was nothing but problems for our broadcast. First, where we normally broadcast (justin.tv) started locking up on us. So then we moved over to Ustream, which was going really good. But then my computer started crawling like a snail so that video went down as well. On top of all that, the base glass that I used in the one and only bead I had time to make last night scummed up on me. ::sigh:: Just wasn’t a good night all around.
Even though the bead did scum up on me, it turned out pretty decent. This bead is showcasing our new black cluster stamen cane, as well as some tiny little yellow bell flowers, and nile green vine cane.



Hopefully by the time of our next broadcast we will have all the kinks worked out so we can have some fun again.
We haven’t auctioned off anything in quite some time. I recently went through our bead boxes and realized, I’m running out of room. So I’ve decided to start putting beads on eBay again. All starting at only .99 cents!
I would love to keep each and every bead that I make, but having boxes of beads doesn’t pay the bills
I only have one bead up at the moment but plan on listing large weekly bead lots to help clean out my overflowing bead collection.
First up for auction is one of my most favorite tree focals.

If you would like to bid on this bead, please go to the following link.

Last night I set out to make another Curious Cat bead but as I was making this bead and seeing how it looked. I decided to leave it as it was. Getting this bead to photograph was a major chore. I finally got one that was decent. However it looks so much better in person.

The other bead that we made was using our brand spanking new Cherry Smash Fusion Frit. This was the medium sized frit with the bead being shaped into a cool teardrop shape. I’m really loving this new frit! Looks like flames.
I also just want to remind everyone about the blown vessel that we are giving away. If you haven’t entered yourself in the little contest don’t forget to. Click here to see how it works. If you already have entered you can still continue to vote for my site
I’m not sure if we will be broadcasting or not tonight. It was a very long and tiring day at work today and I am beat! Is it Friday yet!!? If we don’t broadcast I’ll see you all tomorrow night.
