This is one of my "Stars of the Sea". Her name is "Cloris Beachman". I name them loosely after movie stars.

I have a new "Monkey Business" to show.

Fall is coming and I love making fall beads.

Here are some blown pumpkins. The first that I have made so I'm still practicing.

I know, I know, it's early but I couldn't help myself. I was just

sitting at my torch minding my own business when this

idea popped into my head and I had to try it. I am so

ready to make Halloween beads. It's my most favorite time of

year to torch. At the top you will see a set of my mini chocolate

Holloween candies. Ok, I'll stop with the Halloween....for now my little darlings.

Monkey Business...

I have been working on these all week, and I think I finally got them down. I call them

"Monkey Business"

Dragon...

I am so happy about the way this guy turned out. This is an off mandrel, free hand
piece that I really do not enjoy making. But I love the end result. They kinda scare

me because I have to hold my breath and

I can't move after I finish because of being so tense when

I'm making them.
