For the Love of Color or I'm sick of white, gray, and snow!

It doesn't matter that it's March.

It doesn't matter that we are only a few days away from spring.
It's still cold.
We still have a lot of snow.
I'm so ready for spring!
The result is that I have been making beads that are bright and colorful.
I have no beautiful outdoor scenes to shoot that show flowers and color and green
The only flowers I have right now are these.
When I made these flowers,
I wasn't sure that red and purple would go together.
Amazingly,
they did!
More than that, the colors were
perfect for each other! I love these flowers!
These flowers brighten up my day!


I started making my funky, wonky discs again.
Look at the colors in these discs!
They brighten up any room.
Think of what they'd do to jewelry!
I can see earrings looking great made from these.

Are these orange pod head pins bright or what?
I used to be a person who hated orange.
Now, I love it, and I find that I have so many pieces of clothing made in orange.
I've read that when it comes to orange, a person either hates it or loves it.
I truly love it now!

So, what do you think of orange?
Do you love it or hate it?
Do you have color in your life now or are you like me,
sick of snow, white, gray, and winter?
What's your favorite color?

Just playing around and melting glass!

I've just had the urge to play! I don't know. What do you think? I don't know if anyone will buy these beads, but they sure were fun to make! More came out of the kiln today. These beads seem to have a life of their own. I want to make more. They were fun! They are all 2 inches or more in length. Take a look.
It's a square round tube!
I wish the picture did this bead justice! It's really cool!
I call this one the Corkscrew! Each one was an exercise in color, shape and texture! They were also fun to make!

All Right, Who Put These Beads in My Bead Box? They Can't be Mine!

At first, I though, these can't be mine! The colors are muted! The beads are etched! These are totally different from my normal style of bead. Hmmm! Could I be changing? I don't know. I only wish I knew which part of my brain they came from. We'll see what happens as summer mutates into autumn.
