I love this bracelet the colors are so me, I am not sure it is leaving! It is a fantastic lampwork bead by
Jill Symons with a wonderful iridescence that does not show on the bead. Jade, sterling and amethyst compliment the colors of the bead.
Poor Radish passed away his short life he was well loved. I know he will be waiting at the Bridge to welcome us all over. Rae my thoughts are with you sweetie and know I love you.
I started water aerobics this week. Dr. Been thought it would be a great therapy for me. My neighbor Evelyn came with me and we had the best time. She laughed when she told me my whole face light up as soon as I got in the water. Have I told you all I love the water it soothes me. The class was great and I really could keep up and only had to modify a little. Swimming? I do not think so, I can't rotate my arm just yet. I look more like a floundering fish! I can breast stroke and side stroke so all is not lost. We will go twice a week for now and try to increase it slowly. Amazing I was not sore at all the next day.
Today we have nothing planned. WooHoo. Love days of nothingness. I need to finish my earrings for Terie to get ready to post on Monday.
The beautiful spiky eye of the cone flower caught my attention. What a great color combination these flowers are. At one time I had white cone flowers also, but over the years they have all turned into these pink beauties.
The soft down of lamb's ear.......
And finally one of my passions, glass. I love the way glass reacts to light the smoothness of it's texture. These beads are handmade melting glass rods over a torch onto a mandrel. It is an art called "Lampworking". I am fortunate to have my best friend Jill Symons be a well known artist in this ancient craft. I have a large collection of beads and find myself many winter nights sorting beads. I love making unique one of a kind pieces of jewelry with them.
