Hi!!!

[jang]

What is everyone making at present? I have just finished five bead embroidery pendants. A large centre stone, and simple surrounding stitches. I am meeting up with friends from 45 years ago.We are having time in Australia together. One is fron Christchurch and she really needs the break. In 1966 we all travelled to UK from NZ by ship, which in those days was cheaper than flying. Six weeks at sea visiting Australia, Manilla, Singapore, HongKong, Naples,Egypt, going through the Suez Canal, Majorca and landing in a cold grey London.

I wish I could afford that trip now! Cheers, Jan

That sounds like a fantastic itinerie for your previous trip. I wish I
could come to AU or NZ.
I'm working on a beaded spirit doll, making polymer clay lentil beads
and hand beads, and hand beads in ceramics this month. Also doing some
bead embroidery around a pc face to make into a necklace. And I have a
growing pile of beads, faces, and buttons in ceramics waiting for me
to have a glazing week and do them all up. I'm enjoying ceramics, but
the breakage rate is SO much higher than pc!! I'll get some pics next
week to share.

Look forward to seeing the pics. I still keep fondling the hands you
sent me.
I actually spoke to Jan over Skype Video connection a short while ago.

good!
I'm making them in ceramics now, and some of those I coat with PMC
silver and refire. I love them! Gotta make more, and I have a pile of
about 100 that I'm finishing up now.Only about a dozen are silver yet,
gotta get more PMC and make it into slip. Its always something! Boy
howdy, is metal and ceramic harder to drill into a bead than polymer
clay! Only thing worse must be glass, and you torcher-ous types seem
to put your holes in as you go.
