Rings...and More Rings

I have a full tray of handmade flamework glass flowers on adjustable metal rings waiting to be listed in my StudioMarcy.esty.com shop.

Most are "Statement Ring" size.  They really show up on your hands and are lively and fun.  I have some smaller ones as well, which are for the women who also love the handmade artisan style, but prefer to use their "inside voice " as my son says.  Both sizes also have some more geometric and also organic styles along with the whimsical garden flower variety.

My Bead Soup Blog Party Partner...Say That Ten Times Fast

I really enjoyed getting to know my recent Bead Soup Blog Party partner, Melissa Clarke, (Liss).  As you can see she loves color and whimsical style.  I wonder how we got matched up??

This is the wonderful necklace she made for our exchange, using some of my lampwork beads that I sent her...with more projects planned to use some of the others.

I am enchanted with this style.  If you are what you make, I can tell that she's a delightful person and hope that I get to meet her some day.  To see the journey of designing her necklace, click here to her blog.

Napolean Joins The Ranks

Ah, bonjour.  I wanted to present to you Napoleon, one of my latest glass bobblehead creations.  I thought he would be fun to make in glass with his big hat and his hand in his uniform. 

Currently he resides in Pismo Fine Art Glass gallery.  And yes, his head truly bobbles and mais oui, he is "available".  He has not yet met his Josephine.

Don't Forget - See Me at Pismo's Reception Today

Pismo Contemporary Art Glass's reception for their Bead Exhibit...today 12 - 5 pm.  Come visit and see all the glass goodies.

Resemblance Coincidence?

Resemblance coincidence?

I think not.

Who knew that cats could have accessorizing similarities to humans?   (I think our cheeks are shaped similarly too!)

Happy Monday!

Sting Wears Lampwork? Help Figure This One Out...

My friend, Robin Snuttjer sent me this photo of Sting (*sigh*) wearing a bead. She was wondering if we can track down who made it or any details? What a great idea. Who can help?

And while you're at it, if you too are a fan, feel free to post your favorite song. Here is one of my favorites at a James Taylor Tribute concert.
