Tiny Magical Elves

I never knew that elves were so tiny, until one of my customers asked, "can you make tiny elf charms?"  Of course I could.  So here is the gang.   Left to right...Conor, Faervel, Thalon & Fred.  There's always one in the bunch!

That is a penny that Conor is leaning on.  He's not really lazy, just "resting".  They are quite small.

And they are available in my StudioMarcy Etsy shop.  You can click HERE to find them.

Bobblehead Holiday Ornament Class - Still Room

Hey, if you're going to be in the Atlanta area, I still have room in my Christmas ornament- bobblehead class. You can see that we'll make a bobblehead Elf and Santa is a bobble-belly. Because his tummy shook like a bowl full of jelly!

These are both two part beads that we'll make in a single day. Class is Saturday, November 14th at FlameTree Glass in Roswell, GA. You will be able to use these ornaments as table decorations or I'll also show you how to wire them up as ornaments for your Christmas tree. I even sometimes wear them on change a bead style pendants. We'll make some little stands for them too.

But besides the actual item, we'll work on forming faces, heat control, surface decoration, cased cane hair and other fun concepts that can translate into your other beadmaking skills.

You can click HERE for the rest of the class information, Remember, FlameTree supplies the tools and glass. You just need to pop on over to take it. I'll give you lots of personal attention and we'll have a good time. This class is for intermediate beadmakers. If you want to double check on it, feel free to contact Maureen there too. Call tollfree: 1-800-FlameTree (cool telephone number, huh?)

So hope to see you there. Ho, ho, ho!

Etsy Glass Artists- Different Strokes for All the Folks

Have you ever visited this blog?  It's the Etsy Glass Artists' blog and I'm a member of this Street Team.  One of the things I like about this group, is that it's a combination of different types of glass artists, so we can learn about each others' areas and ask questions.  It's nice to hear what products they use and get a handle on some tools that I might not have been aware of before.

Some of our EGA members have joined the One World, One Heart promotion, so we have a couple of pieces to giveaway.  You can click here to go to the blog and comment, which will put you in the running to win the gifts.

Here is my addition to the "loot".  It's Loki the elf mischief maker.  I thought with all the Valentines Hearts, he could stir things up a bit.

Hope you have a minute to stop by and comment.  Some great prizes to win and it's always lots of fun entering free contests.  Take a few minutes to poke around the blog too.  You might just find some new information that will help you in your own creative endeavors.
