2. Busy Day!
   

   Been at the torch for the better part of the day…. Probably about 6 hours all up!! Including breaks of course!! Made loads of beads, tried a few new different designs, along with trying out some frit again. They’re all in the kiln as I write, be safe to take them out in another hour or so. Can’t wait!!

3. Owls Version 2.0
   

   So after a disappointing start on Sunday, I decided to vent my frustrations and put all my wound up energy into creating some more owls. I decided that the new owls needed to be able to sit up & I also thought that they might look better with little feet. On Sunday, I copied the pattern at increased percentages and drew up a new pointy oval (for a gusset) and also a new foot pattern. I made a large owl on Sunday night, but wasn’t entirely impressed with his ability to sit upright. After a lazy start yesterday morning and trolling the web for ideas on gussets for almost 2 hours, it finally came to me. I finally figured that to make the owls stand up I had to sew a right angle into their bums, then sew diagonally across the seams. Voila!! BINGO!! It worked 🙂 So I set to making the medium and small owls and was pretty impressed with how they turned out 🙂 Was told by one of my good friends that I wasn’t allowed to put them on the internet until she saw them!! So now she has given me the stamp of approval, I am pleased to show off Sam’s Owls Version 2.0!! Hope you like them! There are increasing orders for these and other jewellery, so if you want something custom made, get in quick before Christmas!!
