Hello

Finally got around to posting some things on my Etsy account.  Check it out at etsy.com/shop/designsbykaska.  Here are a couple of them.

I was wondering if anyone has tried my Braided Bracelet tutorial.  I would like to hear from you.  How did you like it?  I would love to see a picture of your bracelet.















Have a great evening!

ICE, FOG, AND PRETTY GEMS

We got our first ice storm of the season this past weekend here in Ohio.  Freezing rain fell late on Friday and covered everything in ice.  Usually, the next day after the freezing rain the sun comes out and everything sparkles like there are diamonds everywhere, in the grass and the trees. This time though it was gray and gloomy.  Then it started warming up on Sunday and as the ice begun to melt the fog came out. Spooky!   But kind of cool, too.  

Then it really warmed up and we had thunder and lighting and heavy rain last night.  Thunder and lightning in January?!!!  In Ohio?!!!!

To cheer myself up went to check out a bead show that was in town last weekend.  Saw some pretty awesome stuff and couldn't resist buying some of it. 

Here are some of my spoils.

                                                A strand of ritulated quartz drops. Yum!

 Faceted amethyst drops, amethyst, moonstone, and iolite beads.

Kyanite, labradorite and moonstone drops. 

It was almost 60 degrees today! Crazy weather!  Maybe it will snow tomorrow.

Have a nice evening!

WELCOME TO MY BLOG!

Happy New Year!

2012 is shaping up to be a very busy and interesting year for me.  Between writing my jewelry-making book and helping my daughter, Kat plan her wedding, I will have little time left to attend shows and for teaching. I will still do some shows, five or so instead of my usual 12 to 15.  I will also teach a few classes, by request only.

My confirmed shows for this year so far are:

Wyoming Art Show (Cincinnati area), May 20th www.wyomingartshow.com

Cane Park Arts Festival (Cleveland area), July 8-10   www.cainpark.com/arts_festival.asp
