YOJ Week 16 - Roman Glass Scribble Ring

My newest, most favorite material to create with is "Roman Glass" which is 700-900 year old glass that has been recycled. This piece comes from Afghanistan and I think it's the perfect accent for my "scribbling with wire" technique! :-)

FYI - I sell these strands here.

Au Revoir Tucson!

I had the best time and can't wait to see you again next year! I could've done without the camera enforced speeding ticket, but otherwise super enjoyed my 10 days here. Oh, and I only lost my wallet once and my keys twice, some kind of a record for me, usually I loose the cell phone a couple times too.  :-)

Here are a few more high lights from the past week and a half....

Teaching the WireKnitZ Crossover Cuff at To Bead True Blue.



Shopping at Motel Row where I always find the coolest stuff, check out this stash of roman glass!

 My new gemmy friend, Szarka of Magpie Gemstones.

Meeting tool guy Kevin Potter and ordering a custom made hydraulic press with a purple powder coat finish....I swear I almost swooned....


Heading home sweet home, always one of my favorite parts of a trip! :-)
