Hope that everyone is having a great weekend and Valentine’s Day!

Instead of me blabbering on for 10 minutes I’ll cut right to the chase. You don’t want to have to scroll through all my words to get to the bead pictures. That’s what your here for anyway right? :)

First off here are the two cats from last night. I hope you all aren’t sick of seeing these yet :) This first one I made for an example of the new Cherry Smash Fusion Frit. He was made with the fine size frit. Love his over sized amber eyes!

This second cat has even bigger eyes! Made with a black base that was overlaid with my ultra cool Borealis shards. I should have struck them more before putting on the details but it still came out with its beautiful blues and greens.

We also have released our second Fusion Frit color called Sea Breeze. If anyone loves to use blue as much as me, your going to love this color!! The two tube focals below were made using the medium size frit that is now available in our store.

OK now don’t laugh but here is my first attempt at a scarab bead. I realize after looking at scarab photos on the Internet that the picture in my head was a bit off :) I’ll know for next time though how it should look. I’ll also leave off the eyes next time as I think they look better in a more abstract way.

And….. here is a sneak preview of a new shard, and a new shard line that is coming! They will be called Super Silvers and this first one is gorgeous! The colors it produces are out of this world. I haven’t named this new shard yet so I’m still mulling that over. Any ideas?

Why are they called Super Silvers you ask? Well these are a mix that is nothing but silver, made by mixing several different silver glasses and then I add even more silver to it in the way of silver foils. So now you can see why they have been labeled as Super Silvers :) We plan on releasing this new shard line soon. I will keep everyone updated as the time gets closer.
