New Beads



Darn it! These pictures really don't do these beads justice at all! Need to work on that before I put them up for sale. The Goddess has so many different tones and is much more shapely than the picture shows. She has a beautiful figure with a bit of a womanly pooch tummy. She feels wonderful in your hand and I'm sure that if she was hung from a neck, the wearer couldn't help but unconsciencely feel her all the time. It's the angle she was taken at on the front facing picture that throws her looks off I think. I couldn't wait to put her up her though.
The Man in the Moon bead is a single hole bead so that it will hang nicely as a pendant. Again, the angle the photos were taken from aren't working in his favour but I just couldn't wait. I really like his strong facial features. He's made from opal yellow which gives many different colours depending on how long it's worked in the flame. That's why I chose the colour for him cause it adds interest beyond the shape and features.
Well that's it for now kids, my kiln is fired up and I'm going to go turn the torch on for a bit before bed. I pulled some stringers just before I went to the gym tonight cause I couldn't wait to play. Tomorrow I hope to paint, alter and paint. I am going to fool around with some vintage bodybuilder photos for the gym I go to. The people that own it are so special, such nice people. I think some altered photos would be right up their alley for the gym.
