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!

Custom orders for Christmas?
UPDATE 11/24: I’m rested, recovered and accepting custom orders again! just contact me for details…
I know it’s only September, however, if you’d like a ShebaMakeda bead on, under or near your tree (or that of someone you love), it really is time to start thinking about Christmas…
I can only accept custom orders from now through to September 15, 2009, so please book any requests by then. Delivery dates can be anytime between now and December.
After the 15th, i’ll be concentrating on the classes i’m scheduled to teach and building new stock and designs for our upcoming two-day Ottawa Glass Bead Artists Show on November 7th & 8th (and of course, working that day job).
After the November show, i will most likely be able to accept custom orders again, however, I may not always be able to guarantee delivery of your custom bead order by Christmas. I’ll have a better idea of timelines then.
Interested? Check out my custom order page for details: http://shebamakeda.com/my-glass-beads/custom-orders/

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.
