Lily from HotBeadBox is closing her glass supplies business to persue other adventures, and yesterday Lily sent out a Newsletter about the Grand Finale Sale.  Much of the glass was reduced by 50% but Vetrofond was 75% off  *gasp*.  It meant that I could buy like 1/2kilo of each colour for approx $2.50.

I dived in within minutes of getting the Newsletter and I bought a whole bunch of glass, but then a few hours later… I decided I’d be mad not to take this chance to finally get my rod stocks up and dived in for a second bite of the cherry :] .

There is a whole slew of colours I have never tried before so I decided to go for it,.. and while I was there,.. I stocked up on my favourite staple colours too.

I am so excited, and I can’t even imagine what 35kg of glass rods will look like…that’s the weight of a small child heehee.

I think it might be a while before I need to buy more glass. :]

I’m selling them in lots of 10 pieces (see 5 [...]]]> Just bought another load of this nifty Glass Rod storage and got a little extra for any Aussie lampworker peeps who are wanting to top up their storage too and only need a small amount. I think they might be to expensive to ship International sorry.

I’m selling them in lots of 10 pieces (see 5 pieces in pics) and there is only 4 lots available,  so get ‘em while I’ve got ‘em, as I don’t think I’ll be ordering more after this lot.

You can find the listing and more information about them in my little shop on my Facebook Page here or via the direct link to the listing here .

$44 USD (approx $40 AUD) plus Shipping.

Happy torchin’ :]

Last week was the first time in a [...]]]> …since I have last posted. The last 12 months have been a challenge lets just say. A constant stream of dramas and ill-health in the family has been my world and has compounded into a nightmare-ish life of what has felt like non-stop crisis management.

Last week was the first time in a long while that I have felt I was able to even think jewerly making and lampwork thoughts, and with any luck this will continue and I’ll get back to what I love doing.

Hope you’re all doing well and I miss all my friends in the jewelry and lampwork world.

So back on track… I put in a order for some [...]]]> Well.. today started out a bit dodgy with a headache to beat all others… but luckily I decided to try something different to remedy it and two Cold & Flu tablets later despite not having either a cold or flu,lol… the headache is gone.  

So back on track… I put in a order for some new glass,.. red, red and erm…some more red,..added a few more much needed colours and a couple of colour sample packs to fill in some colour gaps in my stash.  Received my cabochon mandrels back from their maker after he kindly made a few tweaks to them for me and just finished dipping them… and a whole bunch of other mandrels in bead release ready for tomorrow. Tomorrow…I plan to get up to the studio early before the big heat of the day and make some pretties. YAY!!

Now…off to etsy to list some beads there. Last week I listed a bunch of beads in my Artfire shop, and after I list these ones in my etsy shop… I have another bunch still waiting to be sorted as to where they’ll be listed,  and of course I’m sure I’ll have some more ready by the end of the week.

I love making beads,.. but I miss jewelry making too, so I feel some jewelry made with my beads is required, LOL.
