hiya everybody! Its been a hot-hot-hot summer here so far, and almost too hot to do much polymer clay bead making.But I'm managing to get lots of work done anyway, and hoping that soon my studio will cool down into the Goldilocks range, with no-too-hot and not-too-cold.....I've got shows lined up in Denver and in Houston and a trip to Ohio (gotta stop in at Byzantium when I'm there, better call them today!!) to do polymer clay bead classes on the 15-16 of September , so fall is lining up to be busy too. One of the ways I've been keeping a roof overhead and beads flowing in my doorway is by working at the Local Bead Store in town. I'm the class coordinator at Bead Lounge in Longmont CO and I've been designing and building more websites too, doing more photography---I do theirs

and have been doing others lately too. One's for a bead artist named Laura who also works at the Bead Lounge. She does really beautiful beadwork, so it was fun and easy to put together her site. Its not totally done, but I thought I'd offer y'all a peek since you like beads too!

Several of my beady pals are either instructors or working and selling their jewelry at Bead Lounge, and so I've been more and more exposed to PMC and fused glass stuff, and I'll be doing more of that once it cools off too---truly, I dont know how you torchers do it in summer!!! My polyclay's dinky 275degrees F is way too hot an oven temp for the summer, I cant imagine having the flame going or the kiln!! I hope you are all having a wonderful season, and I'll be posting more again soon. I feel as though I've been away too long! Sarajane
