Back From Miami

Hi Everyone, I am back from Miami. What a fun trip it was! I am still unpacking, returning e-mails and getting organized from the trip and in the meantime here are some photos. I had twelve fabulous students in my two day workshop. The first day we were making ceramic beads. Day two of the workshop was painting and glazing. The last picture is of the great party that my friend Lynn hosted at her house. Doesn't that look like fun? It was.

I just want to thank everyone at JAG, the Jewelry Arts Guild of Southern Florida for hosting me and my workshop. The beads that all the students made are being fired this week. As soon as the kilns cool down, I will be sure to post the pictures. I think there are going to be some great beads.


We all had so much fun, there is already talk of me returning to teach another class in the future, so if your in the area stay tuned. I will post more tomorrow.....

Getting Ready

Good Morning!
Boy this is going to be a quick post today. I am swamped. My bead making class and trunk show in Miami is in two weeks. I am getting ready for it. It's my first bead event of the year, geez, I haven't done a bead show since July! It always takes a lot to get ready for the first one. All of my supplies are scattered and it takes awhile to find them and to remember what all I need. Throw in teaching a class on top of it and I am in panic mode.

I know you're probably thinking isn't two weeks before a show a little early to be panicking? For normal people, yes. I don't work well under pressure so I have to get things done early. In college, I would write my papers three weeks before they were due. Weird huh?

Here's a photo of one of the many new things I put in my Etsy shop last night.
Have a good one,
Jennifer
