October 21 end of summer Well, here it is October - where did the summer go? I just completed a jewellery show and would like to thank all who attended. It was a fun afternoon and I know some of you have started your Christmas shopping! How time flies. The next show on the horizon is the Aurora Borealis Fall Sale. It is on Saturday, November 28, 2009 and will be held at the St. Andrew's Centre (12810 - 111 Avenue) from 10 am to 4 pm. We should have 15 to 20 vendors present so there should be lots to see. I know the show is sometimes overwhelming for first-time visitors. It is truly amazing to see everyone's creations. July 14 market updateHello all. Last Saturday (July 11/09) as market day. Although it started out dull and grey we finished with sunshine and great traffic. It's wonderful to see so many people at the market enjoying the outdoors!. I've traded one of my market dates with a fellow enthusiast. The date is changed from September 12th to September 26th. So, I'll be there are: August 8, August 22 and September 26th. Enjoy your summer!
 May 11 104 Street MarketThe Aurora Borealis Fireflies will be participating in the 104 Street Market in downtown Edmonton every Saturday between 9:00 am and 3:00 pm from May 16 to October 10, 2009. I will be present at the market on the following days: June 20, July 11, August 8, August 22 and September 12. For further information regarding the market visit their website at http://citymarket.ca. Hope to see you there! For anyone that was at the Gold Bar Market and wants to see my "fishbowl" go the the fused photo album - there's one picture there. April 17 spring has arrived!At least - they're claiming it's here. I have been busy - taking classes and making new beads. I will be at the Goldbar Spring Craft Fair on May 9, 2009. Goldbar Hall is at 4620 - 105 Avenue here in Edmonton. The fair starts at 10:00 am. Enjoy the spring! February 22 new beadsI finally managed to acquire additional photos of recent work. You can look at these in Jewellery 2009, a couple of necklaces in Jewellery, one new class bead and a photo in bead animals. Unfortunately, they're at the end of the albums - you can go backwards from the beginning and see them that way. Hope you like what you see. January 28 New YearAlready almost one month into the new year - where does the time go? I took another class last week - Sherry Bellamy from Vancouver. I only managed one of the three days but it was awesome. I will try to add a picture of those beads in the next couple of days. October 31 Thanks!The all the people who came and enjoyed the show - Thanks! It was a great success, but I - for one - am glad it's over! I've updated my photos as requested - hope you enjoy the pictures. Tomorrow I get to go out to the studio and play! Whoo-hoo! October 19 sale previewA sneak preview! I've added two new pictures - one of a bracelet and one of a necklace. Almost ready for Saturday! Hope to see you there. October 04 Talking about Fall Sale
Quote Fall Sale connected again!My husband was good enough to buy me a new laptop - which is wonderful! We always seem to forget how long it takes to get everything moved over. Almost there now.
The fall sale is approaching very quickly! I've got some new, exciting items completed and will hopefully get a few more done before the sale. No pictures added - I want you to come to the sale and see what I've created.
3rd Annual Fall Sale
Lampwork Glass Beads and Glass Bead Jewellery
Date: Saturday, October 25, 2008
Time: 10:00 am - 4:00 pm
Place: Strathcona Community League
10139 - 87 Avenue, Edmonton July 01 updatesHappy Canada Day! The weather has been beautiful, though at 30 degrees it does get awful hot in my little shed! I've updated the photos. I attended two wonderful class - Michael Barley and Lisa St. Martin - I purchased one bead from each and display photos of class beads and a couple others I've made since then. Also, a couple new ones from before the class. Hope you enjoy them! June 22 time flies!Where does the time go? January to June is half a year - and it's gone! Wow! I've just completed two wonderful bead-making classes - first Michael Barley - awesome!; and second, Lisa St. Martin- stunning! I hope to update soon with pictures of the beads from both classes. They were both very enjoyable classes and a lot of information is bouncing around in my head - hopefully I can apply some of this to my future beads!
January 20 new beadsI have managed to get out and play on the torch a couple of times this month. I've made a few fish but had a problem with the fins falling off after annealing - but the last one (the one in the album) is in tact - I changed the way I applied the fins and it seems to have worked. I also made a couple of cats - they're first attempts and a few others that need to be photographed. I've included picture of the cats and intact fish. Any comments would be appreciated!. January 01 2008Happy New Year! 2008 rings in with hopes of health, peace, and happiness (and good beadings, of course!) November 04 Class beads (and a few new things)I finally took the time to scan in the images of the beads I made in the Jennifer Geldard class. Three photos only (Class-JG-1; Class-JG-2; Class-JG-enamels). The enamels and window bead were dones on the first day of class - the others were done on the second day. In Class-JG-2 - the "window bead" is the amber bead; the "tie-dye quilt" is the circular bead and the "ornate" is the beautiful long and slender bead. In Class-JG-1 are two beads made on the second day using enamels and the new took Jennifer introduced us to. And, lastly, the one I couldn't resist - a bracelet made by Jennifer Geldard (Class-JG-bracelet).Wow, what a class! October 22 Thank-youThe fall sale is now a thing of the past. Thank-you to all who came - we had a great turnout and I think the day was a success for everyone. The week-end before the sale I took a bead-making course with Jennifer Geldard - although it was expensive it was a truly wonderful course. I certainly learned a lot, had a good time and came home with a few beads I am proud of. What an awesome and inspiring bead maker Jennifer is! I will have to take pictures of a few of the beads and add them to the site.
I managed to get out to the torch tonight and and play a little - I definitely need lots more practice. Wish me well!
