The house will be quiet tonight with Jacob gone to the fair and my lap buddy, Milagro with him. I have made lots of jewelry for the shop yesterday and today and managed to work a bit on a new painting. I also have new silver pieces done and will need to post a picture or two here. White bronze has been my new casting metal - it looks so much like silver but at a fraction of the cost! Anyhow, here is a picture of some lampwork beaded necklaces I made for my " Back to fall business " display window. I used new czech glass and vintage german beads along with lampwork beads from a woman in Oregon. See ya' later gator! lois
