More greyhounds~ I am working on adding these to Etsy so everyone can get their Christmas shopping done in a timely manner :)
The colors really pop in this glass when it is sculpted in the flame.

and I really love the green one! How come I am not out in the shop yet this morning? Wind and rain with potential power outtages. I don't want a kiln full of beads if the power goes out. So I am waiting a bit today before I go out and get started. I guess I can get caught up with the laundry while I am waiting. phhh... Where is the laundry fairy when I need one?

Have a great day and stay warm and dry wherever you are!

A view of the gloriously warm Atlantic ocean from our condo. Sue and I were raised around the Pacific Ocean which is icy cold in comparison. The first time I dipped my toes into the Atlantic I couldn't believe how warm it was. Look what I found in the parking garage! At first I thought it was dead but then the little guy moved and boy did I jump back hehehe... :)
A sea of Silk Road Collars! http://www.silkroadcollars.com/ I was over at The Sand Palace shoved back in a room in dark corner under the stairs!!! Needless to say the set up came down Saturday afternoon instead of Sunday morning. Greyhounds "cockroach" when they are relaxed. This girl does it on command to get her pretty pink tummy rubbed :)
Ahh home at last~ The sunrise from my first morning back was absolutely stunning!! I am glad I am an early riser and I was up to see it. Even where we live, surrounded by other homes, early morning is an amazing peaceful time. I love to go outside and take a few deep breaths of the crisp cool morning air. Yay Home!!!!

Here we go again!!! Off to Dewey Beach to play with the Greyhounds~ The standing Greyhound is my newly designed image~
Of course One of them is my favorite :)
A sampling of some of the dichroic Greyhound beads I have made for Dewey. Sue has been turning them into beautiful wearable items. Creating the dichro images is something I really enjoy. This year I created a standing greyhound. Creating an image involves first drawing the picture. Then it is scanned into my computer and e-mailed to my wonderful dichro guy. He then does whatever it is he does (magic?) that puts the image onto glass so I can melt it onto my beads. Each piece is meticulously and carefully formed to the bead it is on. I have to be very attentive during this process or I end up with a distorted image.
