LOL I'll go back to digging for my intense black. I can't even bring any curdled ivory because it's under a huge pile of stuff that I don't want to move. I hate cleaning out my studio! Oh well, it's been so long since I've made beads I'd hate to waste it on junk beads anyway. I'm going to have to go have a few play days with Darby and Janien.

It was a blast... and that cake was *awesome*! Please do post pics... I want to see what everyone made. Deb had some cool stuff going and Lana had some great colors set out so I can't wait to see how they all came out. Everyone else was too far away for me to sneak any really good peeks so I'm dying to see them all!
Darby and Janien, thank you for hosting!

Cassie I can't wait to see your beads! You shape the most incredible bicones!
I'm waiting for the cat food to thaw out so the kitties can try it. Our microwave is built into our ovens and has been not working for about a year now. I'll have to get it fixed some day but for now I don't have a microwave. I think the kitties are going to love it!

Aaargh! I'm moving again.......slowly........yeah cannoli cake.......thanks again Ofilia, that was great! I can't wait to see your skull mold pcs, and the large square hollow!.......the day went so fast, it was so hard to keep up with what everyone was doing, Deb was just on fire out of the gates.....hard to believe it had been so long since you'd been on the torch.......after seeing Lana work a couple long beads, I'm tempted to give them a whirl, as its not somthing I do very often. Janien has been on a hollow kick this week and really rockin..... Patty, I sat right across from and I have very little idea what was stashed in the annealing pillow! girl your just a bead making ma-chine! great job on the murrini! maybe a picture of your cash for S&T? As always really enjoyed all the conversation and bead comadery, we'll have to do it all again soon! Darb

I don't think Deb and I are *that* crazy... it was 10:32 and 10:44! lol! I'm a night owl but 2:30am is usually my limit where I'm draggin ass to bed...lol!
Deb, I certainly hope that your cats like that cat food! I totally forgot to make sure Patty and Darby's sister (her name escapes me at the moment) took some to try... I mentioned it at the table that I wanted everyone to feel free to take some but I forgot to mention it again before we all left. So, Darby and Janien... feel free to pawn that cat food off on anyone who is willing to take it... or warm it and give it to the cat that shows up around the shop, if it still does. My mom's cats act like it's got crack in it, but my cats aren't all *that* crazy for it... but they'll go for it since it's there. You know how some of them are... picky little beasties!
Please do post pics, Patty... I forgot that you were taking them with you and I'm really curious to see what you made!
Can't wait for the next OT!

Can't wait to see what everyone's made, including me LOL
It was a blast and I had such a great time. We drove back to Deb, really fast - Uhhh, she drives fast,
Then I got home in about an hour or so - I think it was around 12
Feodor was freeking out, he has never been left alone for so long....
When I got home, he was jumping all over like crazy
Next day we drove to the park to play and when we got home, he refused to get out of the car, as if he suspected that I am going somewhere without him. I left the door open and the garage too... and he was just sitting there in the back seat and looking at me " you are not going to get me out of here" LOL
Finally after like 20 minuetes, Igor got on the back seat with him and we had to manually get him out of there.... well 50 lb didn't go out easy.... from a mini cooper's back seat ...... it was some job LOL

Patty, those are awesome... I got to sneak a peek at you making those beads with the silver foil cut-outs and that was cool to see!
I wish I was better able to put pairs on one rod... I feel like I'm going back and forth so much it makes me nervous! I tried 3 small ones on one rod before and I almost felt like the guy who spins a bunch of porcelain plates on poles for 5 minutes, trying not to let any of them fall... except without all of the running around...lol! I guess it'll get better with practice!

Cassie, I am having a total stupid attack (not for the first time). What is the woman's name who was talking to you in the afternoon? Long straight black hair and wearing turquoise. Is that Denise? I posted pics in my blog and I feel like an idiot that I can't remember her name.
Janien, how come I don't have any pics of you? You seem to have sneaked off when I took them. Just wait until next time!

Yup Denise is her name...she is soo sweet!
nope, you dont have pics of me....remember I took a lot of the pics with your camera....Darby's sister Jody has a lot of great pics...if I can get her to email them too me I will post them. I have a few and will post too!
We went to the shop today...in the oven were 72 beads, 2 marbles and 1 off mandrel pendant ( the one I made that darby had to finish for me)...I brought them all home tonight and will take pics tomorrow sometime and post them for you all to see! OMG they were all fabulous! Including Emily (Darby's niece)...she did good for being 12 and doing it for the first time ever!
Anyway...I must go...I am a little buzzed and a lot tired.
Cassie...I am a wire wrapping fool now and need more stuff for friday...I will PM you!
hugs for everyone.
Neen and Darb

Pics! Pics! Pics! Pics! Hurrrryyyyyyyyyyyy! I can't waaaaaaaaaaaait! lol!
I'm feeling like I need to antagonize someone today but I guess I'll leave it at the nice kind and save the evil antagonizing for my co-workers and supervisor... we've had drama at work and I'm not even being nice about it anymore. I'll put it this way... I've developed Tourette's. The F-bomb is my friend. I'll probably have a stroke by this weekend.
Glad Janien got to you with Denise's name, Deb. She really is a nice person... I wish she and Diane would have torched like mad women because they really make some cool stuff, too!

How cool! Everyone did fantastic!
As for the "unclaimed"... I think the one with the purple marker is mine... I did one marker and forgot to do others! Oops!
Now I get to go back to drama-land!

I posted a reply and now come back and see it's not here ...
It never happened to me before ????
Anyway, I love everyones beads it was so great to do it together and now to see all of them here.
Patty, I am glad to see you "survivours" - we talked so much about them going home under that thin blanket ... that was a quite chillly night, Remember.
It's so warm now for the past few days !
My show went well and I am very happy to meet a lot of people and artists.
It was Fun!
Darby and Janien, Thank you so much for making it happen !
Hugs everyone,
hope to see you soon

I am scheduled to teach every weekend in March but the 14th is the least likely to fill -- i.e. most likely to be cancelled.
