More experimenting at the torch…
I’m still full of ideas and experimenting at the torch… and still no explanation for these beads except this is what’s currently coming out of my head: gothic and cartoon hearts, and playing with the effects that can be created from boutique silver glass. The pregnant goddesses are for a custom order. I’m having fun though!
Just one Graffiti Goddess left!!
FINAL UPDATE: 8/21: A cheque for $14K was just issued to Anna to help with her medical costs… (updated email below)
UPDATE 8/17: Apparently over $10K was raised for Anna by this event! Most excellent! 🙂
UPDATE 8/14: Yippee! the white Graffiti goddess sold as well!! Thanks again everyone!!!
Great news!! The black Graffiti Goddess sold on the first day – THANK YOU!! Remember, all the funds (not just profits) are going straight to Anna, the artist – i’m even paying to ship these to the US.
Here’s the latest email i received 8/21 with an update:

Hearts for Anna Artful Home Auction Aug.12-16
I’ve donated these two very special breast cancer goddesses for this worthy cause. These Graffiti goddess beads are lightly etched, wired onto sterling silver and the sterling chain is included. The auction begins @ 10am Central today and you can find the details here: https://www.artfulhome.com/heartsforanna
I have a friend going through a very similar situation but since we live in Canada, paying out of pocket for health care isn’t a major issue. I don’t know Anna at all but after reading her story, my heart went out to her… I can’t even imagine her stress levels right now and wanted to help out in any way I could.
If you can help out by purchasing one of the donations, please do.
Completely and utterly random…
…is the only way i can explain this pile of beads. I’m either on the verge of a major breakthrough or i’ve completely lost my mind.
I can’t remember ever producing such a random pile of beads NONE of which are in my usual style of beadmaking. They’ve all been made in the last week or so and i think reflect the fact that i had a lot of things on my mind. The beads range from gothic floral attempts to antiqued hearts for a framed composition to a custom order involving pears and trees to goddesses for a charity auction to those Blue Willow vessel beads that my sister requested a couple years ago (no idea why i suddenly decided to try making those again now!).
Best i can say is that at the very least it’s obvious my stringer control has really improved…
