It's been a horrible cluster headache week, so my torch time has been really minimal :-( However, when the dust settled, I was really pleased with the few things I've added to my site.
I always seem to work in cool colors, like blues and violets. Not this time! Hot Hot HOT! I swear these beads even FEEL warm to the touch!
As always, thanks for looking!

Tinkie, I just wanted to tell you that my pink "Largo" hollow bead with spacers arrived today. It is SO cool, I love the mauve color, it's great, thanks for sending it so promptly. When I get around to making the necklace (please, God, let me have SOME time for myself), I'll send you a scan. Thanks for the extras. love you much, Patti
Oh I just KNEW you would love that bead! It's so soft and wonderful! Thanks for letting me know, Patti! I really appreciate it!
Yes Harry, I often put freebies up on my site. But posting here won't do you any good. The beads go to the first person to email me at my business email: tink at blackswampglassworks dot com
And I forgot to mention that I have put up a page of sale items! Yay! Who DOESN'T love a sale, eh? For now, it's just lampwork, but once I get some other things photographed, this will be the place to find some great deals on lots of beady stuff, like furnace glass...
The sale page can be found at:

and is also accessible from my other pages. Thanks!

LOL! Hey they aren't MY colors either. Heheheheheh! I think I'm just desperate for summer. That, plus the fact that I am so sick of blue and purple that I can't stand it. LOL!

FWIW, I liked Fiesta best of the new stuff, though Passion of the Flame comes a close second.
I turned on one of my local friends to your site tonight. She's a coffee addict and has a caramel-tabby cat named Latte, so I pointed her at Caramel Latte. She said she wasn't going to decide until she'd had some sleep (didn't get any last night, it seems), but you may have a sale there.
I also wanted to say something about your work while coming off headaches. I know a lot of folks don't like those bright dang oranges, but you know I'm all over that.
With that thought I wanted to share something with everyone. I know that my happy color is orange with yellow. Why do I know? Because when I paint in those colors I'm in a zone, I'm singing to myself, and suddenly the painting is done. I don't do this with beads. So my question Tink-e-poo is do you have a happy color to bead in? It sure makes my life easier when I let the muse take over my paintings.
Hmmmm... Well, I think that I am one of those people who has never liked the bright dang oranges, but all of a sudden these yellows, reds and oranges are my favorite colors! Go figure...
My happy colors seem to change all the time, though purple has been a pretty fair constant. When I made those recent Largo sets, I had that kind of feeling that you describe...

FWIW, I hate measuring too. I'm waiting for Dan to get faster with the shipping so he has enough free time to make him do the measuring, LOL! He only has four hours a week right now, and we've had so much shipping he's barely had time to do anything else, but the very second he's got it down, I'm setting him up with a bowl of beads and a ruler!
