New focals on my website!

I'm finally among the living, I think. I have several new sets on Ebay including a new, very cool, set called Recycled Glass Art. There is a group on http://www.recycledartglass.com/ that take old glass pieces and recycle them into usable glass called frit. So I took recycled Silver Blue frit and lots of fine silver foil and added those to a base of Moretti Copper Green. Reducing allowed the silver in the frit to really pop. I love the effect and I really like the idea of recycling old glass into new pieces of art. I have a few coldworked focals on http://www.beadartists.org/ and some sets still up on etsy. I am so exciting to have moved up the ranks in the top 100 of http://www.beadartists.org/. I am number 66 today!

The other exciting thing that I have done is get some beads actually for sale on my website! Ta da! OK it's only a couple focals but I'm excited. Rather than let a stash build up for an orphan sale I am offering focals for $10.00! Focals plus two spacers $15.00! As a jewelry maker I think I would be excited not to have to buy big expensive bead sets. Lots of different focals for lots of different pieces.
