Up to my aching elbows in lucite beads!

Once again I have been dying vinatge lucite for the Tucson show. This time I did the flowers and other shapes. I have managed to make the kitchen a mess and given the stove top a case of purple mottled metal. Or at least I THOUGHT that part of the stove was metal! It's actually plastic and now the purple mottled color is permanent. Jacob is in love with the big pinkest of pink flowers. He marveled at how I was able to acheive such an awesome color. He is one of my biggest fans and really likes seeing my end results. I think this does the dying duty for awhile. Now comes the stringing. I think all of this will make a beautiful stash of beads to sell at Tucson!
