While the Kiln wash was drying...



I decided to play with some ideas that I have had for enameling.. I just had to use the torch instead of my new kiln... since I am applying kiln wash to it and I work full time so it's taking it's sweet time to get ready! I love all the new colors I've got and I have been playing with fusing glass beads to the enamel. I really like how some of them turned out. The white one is awesome! But some of the other color combination didn't turn out exactly the way I wanted to... But you have to try to learn! I will be posting them as One of a Kind on Etsy so hopefully they will all find loving homes! The white one might be a permanent design in my shop cause I just loorve how it turned out.

Their favorit scratching post




David was so awesome and made this after the kitties started to attach the furniture... And they love it. He glued a bunch of recycled cardboard together and cut out this awesome cat scratching post. And as you can see from the wear and tear, they absolutely love it. And so do I! I think its beautiful, but then I am not surprised as it it my very talented boyfriend who made it.

hard to focus



I have special eyeballs. Ever since I was a little kid I could be in complete control of them.. It's quite the party trick... Just ignore that fact that I look retarded and be blown away by my special powers..

I just can't seem to be able to focus on work today (that is my boring day job)... I know I have a tone of thing to do... but I much rather think of new designs that I can work on in my studio AFTER work :o)

I have these amazing cabs I've got from a wonderful seller on Etsy.. I'll be blogging more about that when I have a design idea ready for them... I've also got tons of ideas for enamel pieces now that I got my kiln. There is especially one necklace that I am making for Jaime from bellabijoujewellery that I want to get started on. If only there were more hours in a day!

I've had 4 weeks off Etsy now so I am very excited to be opening up my little shop again... Tomorrow is the big grand Reopening!
