Cat

I haven't made cat beads for a while but as I was playing with enamels, I decide to make one. The kitty measures 1 1/8 inch and the hole runs from head to toe.

More Birds

I experimented with powder enamels and made the owl and peacock beads.

Birds

I was trying out something different and made a chicken, a parrot and a toucan. More beads to come! My torch is up and running and I am setting aside time to play!

Beads of Courage

Now that my torch is set up, the first beads I made were for Beads of Courage. Making Butterflies for Beads of Courage are always difficult for me because they are given to parents who lost their children to cancer. I always ponder if I should make these butterflies plain looking or if I should make them bright to remind them of the little angels.
