Then while I was visiting flickr looking at pictures and preparing to post some of my own I came across another ega member who had done almost the exact same thing as me!!! She even used hemp like I did. Worried that she would think I had copied her I sent her an e-mail and we had ourselves a little chuckle over it. Really gives you food for thought on the whole issue of copying :) Then there are these!!! I have been thinking about making some lampwork headpins for about month now. Thanks again to one of my wonderful etsy customers for the inspiration~
I just made a few to start and Sue and I used them all up on the pendants :)
Peacock inspired~
Vetrofond odd lot Lime Sweet! What a great color~
And I've saved my favorite for last :) It is difficult for me not to show my love for beads. If I love how something I made has turned out I will tell you. This is not a lack of humility on my part it is just my passion for glass coming through. I get very excited if something turns out fabulous. You will hear me say "Oh thats my favorite" a lot and it is never a lie. I love most all of them. I surely love some more than others. Yeah I am a glass freak. So? :)
School started last week so I will hopefully have more time to devote to making and listing!!

These look great!
The whole copying issue is a little odd to me. I mean, there are only so many ways to do things. I have seen people throwing fits about people copying them when in reality the style or technique in question has been around for quite a while.
I'm doing similar cards for my pendants for the holidays, but not using hemp on most of them. I liked the look of narrow ribbon. Mine aren't laminated though. That's a good idea if they are going to be handled alot.
Thanks Rebecca! I am really happy with the way they look. I didn't laminate them either, just left the paper naked ;)
Narrow ribbon sounds very nice~

Wow! Love, love your lampwork bead headpins!!! And your cards are lovely too! :) Kris, you're so funny~they really aren't that much alike but how funny that we were both thinking of adding cards at the same time! I can't wait to see if they make a difference at the next show!
