Fresh From the Flames

I think I finally came out of that slump I blogged about last time. But at the same time I've changed my stride too. As beautiful as the hollow fanpulls are, I got seriously bored of them after so many. I know I'll have to make more with fall and the Holidays coming. But I'm really happy to be doing something different for now.
On the left is a LadyBug. She is so cute and will look great on a black satin cord. I will not be listing her in my online shop because I know that she will sell at my next market. If you want her before then just let me know in a comment to this blog and we'll work it out.
On the right is a beadset I'm calling "Striations". The design is a combination of silver foil, silvered ivory and latticino on cobalt blue. It's quite lovely and the pic does not do the shine and inner glow any justice. I'm envisioning these beads surrounded by Bali silver in a bracelet and will probably make my vision a fact before the next market. If you want them before I use them or if you want a custom piece using them just let me know in a comment to this blog.
Now, what is this "next market" I keep mentioning? I thought you'd never ask...
