Paper Beads! Can't stop Making Them


Well, we can't complain about the rain here in Maple Valley, WA since we had only one day of rain all winter in El Centro.  It's a good excuse to stay home and drink hot tea and snuggle up with a good book.  Normally.

But I"m not normal.  I've been making paper beads for the last few days and listed a few on Ebay.  See HERE and scroll down a bit.

They are addicting!  I can't stop making them.  I'm making some pendants, too.

Watercolor Painting Contest

Can you believe it?!  I entered a watercolor painting contest on a Yahoo group called Watercolor painting techniques.......it's a wonderful group.  This month of April the challenge is painting glass.

Here's the painting that won me some wonderful good feelings and kudos.  I also did one of my grandmother I guess I could post here, too.
