Vintage Lucite buddhas (salmon colored, not bright orange). I finally found the beads for a customer who's been requesting them. Lynn Delaney, check them out. I have more beads, so I can make different styles.

Holiday Art Market Studio Tour Map

On my bench today . . . I've been inspired by beaded chains that I see from favorite shops. Decided to link (on copper wire that I antiqued) various "leftovers" from my stash of new and vintage glass and lamp work beads--a very relaxing project. These short chains will become something interesting in future projects. I'll try to make something for the show next weekend (Washougal Studio Artists Holiday Art Market.)

Tammy's new paintings are breath-taking.
