Rainy Day

We are having a very rainy day as they predicted.  Actually they called it a Nor-easter and plans to spend the day with my cousins were canceled. I wanted to take pics of my current projects but need sun to do that.  I am showing an older piece which is etched copper with a piece of silver riveted on.  Hanging in the center is an amber resin bead and an african red vintage bead.

Last night I spent time with my surrogate daughter Manju, who will be sworn in as a diplomat for the U.S. State Dept. this June. It is so wonderful to see her grow into a strong, articulate women pursuing her dreams. I live vicariously through her adventures, and I can't wait to find out where she will be assigned.

Can't have to many art supplies-well, that's not entirely true, you can have to many for the studio space you have.  And I ran out of space a long time ago. For my birthday my cousin Fern, sent me a bead wrangler. If any of you have tried it,let me know what you think.  I love bead crocheting, and find it's a great project you can carry with you on trains, planes and automobiles... The problem is the completed ropes don't go great with the jewelry I make and I hate the way the finished ends look.  So my cousin and I made a deal, I'll make the rope and she will finish them off.

Hey Aggie! I love your older piece and can't wait to see more of your work.

Hmmm, a sworn diplomat for the US State Department. That is something to be really proud of and what an amazing future she has.

I have never heard of a bead wrangler, but it sounds pretty interesting or maybe I just like the way it sounds...wrangling beads! :0)

Take care.

Hope all is well with you.
