OMG, I have just about had it with beads! Drool list ahoy!

OK, I simply cannot take so much pain in one week.

I'm going to have to do something myself about the Awful Sibling so I can spend my inheritance money foolishly and profligately (who cares if it's a word or not! I like it!)

Top of the list:

Buffalo Road Art Glass.... *sigh*

Bluff doesn't usually get to me the way that set does. It's so alive.

Same for Corina's fossils.

Those Corina beads! That is, hands down, my favorite set I have seen from her... the complexity and composition is incredible! OK, last year I would have placed her firmly in "upper intermediate"... as of right now, I am upgrading her (in my eyes) to Master! Those are outstanding, and show a superb control and understanding of the glass itself as well as a wonderful eye for color and placement.

I think that sums up my sentiments exactly. I am truly wowed by this set. It's the first time in a very long Corina has set my heart singing.

I'll confess that I am and remain eternally unimpressed by encased florals with frogs humping them, and am so glad she has moved past that. WAY past that. Plus all the newbies thought for some reason that she

*invented* flower-humping-frog beads, and that everyone else who made them was "copying" her.

Well, there goes my middle of the night 'Nilla Pepsi, straight out the nose. That was made especially forceful by the fact that an earlier post cited a bead set with your name in the title, and it had a flower humping frog as the focal.

That is SO funny!! I collect frogs (so of course I have *lots* of frog beads - many of which were made before Corina even started lampworking and some maybe even before she was born, LOL). Here's one of my faves since it has *two* frogs on it for balance. It was made by Robert Madera. The small tabs were made by Mavis several years ago and just happened to match perfectly.

I think almost every lampworker at some point experiments with a frog on a bead as part of their normal learning curve (and I and my collection, of course, are glad they do!!). A few of my favorite beads consist of a Carolyn Driver vessel with a frog on it, a Mavis mermaid with a frog, and even Elissahearts with frogs, LOL. Carol in SLC Some of my stuff:

HUH.

Wish something would leave $100 on my dresser. Maybe I could afford to buy a new bead.
