I think Ive been away too long from the
Mountain's of Virginia as
I'm not so used to the blustery winds and cold were having here now in Texas! But
I'm enjoying it
alot nevertheless. I feel tho for the rest of the country as there are record
Snowfalls all across the USA. So in essence being this far south we are spared. The most loss I think I might have is my Lemon tree and some Hibiscus. I have wrapped them tho. My Mum~in~law in
Scotland said today as we spoke on the phone they are having record snowfalls as well. In her backyard the snow is up to her waist!
So tonite will bring a big chicken soup Ill have to start soon...maybe some homemade bread too?
Here's a Wintery necklace Ive made for the Art bead Scene monthly challenge. In the late 1860s Monet painted a picture of a mag~pie in a very cold Wintery scene. Thus the challenge is to create a piece inspired by Monet's painting.
Ive called this Snowbirds. Ive used a Green Girl Studios pendant and various lampworked beads. See the little acorn? Toggle handmade by self.
Stay warm everyone! I'm pretty darn happy Ive got an electric blanket for tonite as it will get even colder....
My Bead party partner has received her beads for the BEAD PARTY! There are 83 people involved in this party and its a fun and exciting thing to be involved in, getting to see other peoples work and seeing the things they sell. But also making some new friends along the way. My partner is Kristie Roeder of Artisan Clay a very talented and vibrant woman who makes beautiful ceramic focals and beads! Some of her focals are so juicy as if they could be eaten as a little treat! Check her out here.
See these lovely Crabs?
Im still sick...but the show must go on! Lori Anderson of Pretty Things" is having a Bead Party as many already know! This was prompted by the Art Bead Scene by Heather Powers.
