Life...

Life has a way of reminding us what matters the most. This summer was one where the reminders just kept slamming into me, but as autumn approaches I feel things beginning to settle.

I recently went out of state. I thought about what to do about the online shops, and decided that I would just take them with me, so to speak. I packed up the beads, some mailing supplies, my postal scale, my printer and of course, the laptop. It worked pretty well. I could be where I needed to be and could still keep things going. After 10 days it was time to come home because I haven't quite figured out how to take the torch and glass along with me...

I've been playing with the mica powders and I love that shimmer they get. I'm not sure if I like the metallic look or...

the softer look of these.
