Hi all,

After a lonnnnnng day behind the torch, heading down to the San Francisco Bay to unwind and commune with nature (and the other people who are doing the same thing) is just what this Soul needs... the ocean is very soothing and its power reminds me (without a shadow of a doubt) just how little I have control over in this world... feeling its strength, helps me to stay humble and centered... it's ALL good. *smile*



There is a new collection of beads on the horizon and in the works... I hope to have these beads up on ebay tomorrow evening... sage greens, browns and honey ambers this time.

That's it for now... take good care of you!

G'nite, Gracie

Hello!

Finally, a SPECIAL on my web site... I've been promising one for a while and it's now up and available!

ANCIENTS ::: A collection of 15 handmade lampwork glass beads in the subtle, earthy colors of ancient times long ago... honey, amber and champagne on a backdrop of silvered blacks and smokey honey... these beads are drenched in fine silver to add some elegance... great beads for a casual Autumn look or dress 'em up and take them out on the town... these beads would look beautiful against that "little black dress". :)

As always FREE Priority shipping with insurance and a delivery confirmation is included.

Hoping all is well in your worlds!

Take good care, Gracie

Hello, hello!

Hope your week is off to a good start... something new up on ebay just now...

WINTER PURPLES ::: a collection of 14 handmade lampwork glass beads in the gorgeous colors of Winter purples, lavenders and rainbow raku colors with hints of deep, rich blues and pale greens ... beautiful colors for the upcoming Winter season... along with these beads is a matching pair that were created with earrings in mind.

More news from the kiln... there is a Special on its way... tomorrow morning I will do my very best to get it together and get it posted on my website!

Unfortunately, my email notification list is on a different computer system than the one I'm currently using... long story short, I will not be able to send out my usual email notification about the Special... this little 'glitch' will be resolved shortly.

Take good care, Gracie

Hello!

Hoping you are all enjoying your weekend... getting lots of R&R and enjoying some sunshine, your friends and family.

I've added a couple new auctions up on ebay... and as is my usual nature behind the torch, I am being very drawn to the earthy colors again... the first one, ATLANTIS, has 5 days left (just didn't get around to getting my blog updated until now) and the second, ALCHEMY, will run a full 7 days more.

ATLANTIS ::: Perhaps, there really is a lost Land of Atlantis?... if there is, these are the colors I see there... ambers, steel blues, pale champagne and sweet honey... a collection of 20 handmade lampwork glass beads (with two matching pair of beads, created with earrings in mind) in soothing colors with a feeling of times long, long ago.



ALCHEMY ::: A collection of 16 handmade lampwork glass beads, created in ambers and honey colors and dripping in fine silver in perfect colors for Fall and Winter.



I do have a Special for my website in the works... and will get that posted early next week... I promise!

Take good care, Gracie

Howdy...

The past couple of days I have been working in the new colors for Fall... and... have just added a new auction on ebay in these colors...

TRENDS ::: Each season Pantone® Matching System (aka PMS for short) comes out with a fashion color trend prediction of colors for the upcoming months... for Fall of 2006, the hot colors this year are deep mahogany, simply taupe, pale khaki, frosty gray and bijou blue to name a few... I took an opportunity to play with these colors behind the torch... here is a collection of 17 handmade lampwork glass beads in some of the gorgeous new Fall 2006 colors... these colors are earthy, rich and quite beautiful.

These colors will work from Fall on through Winter... and these beads can either go casual or 'dress 'em up' and take 'em out on the town.

Take good care and thanks for stopping by!

Gracie
