Branching Out!

Hello Again!

Well the cold weather is still around but I was inspired last week to melt some
bright summer glass. Lemon yellow and lime green appealed to me so I had a good time making this little flower bead and a few spacers. My torch time was limited but I made good use of the time that I had.
The necklace came out really pretty, simple but sweet.

I also just got done with another necklace and earring set for a friend who likes blue and lime green.
I was really pleased with the heart that made an unexpected appearance. :)






And last but NOT least I got an email from a friend today. Her missionary group needed a gift for another young lady who was about to embark on a missionary journey to Italy. My friend requested that the colors be red, green and white, the colors of the Italian flag and she needed it.....tomorrow! EEK! LOL
I immediately thought of my Citrus neckalce above and decided to go with that simple style and see what I could come up with.
Below is a picture of what I accomplished. The necklace is planned out, the beads are in the kiln baking and tomorrow morning I will put it all together.
I was blessed to be able to sit down and make a flower bead...perfectly at the first try. Pressure usually hampers me a bit but not today!






I'll be sure to post pics of the finished piece after its on its way to its new owner. I am honored to have been thought of to provide such a special gift that will travel a world away and be a part of spreading the word.

Yes, I am blessed and I wish many blessings for you too!
Until next time....

~ Keep Looking UP ~
