Good things happen in threes...

Well, I am back. Back to the blog. Back to the studio after teaching for the summer. Back from vacation. And I am happy to get to work on a few things that have come my way...

Bead Fest, bead swap, bead abundance.

When I left for Philadelphia Saturday morning, with Marsha of Marsha Neal Studio, I had the best laid bloggy plans. We were headed to Beadfest. I wanted to take pictures of inspirational items, gorgeous gems, beautiful beads, and the people...Here is all I managed:

Harmony: enamel shadowbox reveal...

Good Morning! Welcome to the Enamel Shadowbox bezel and blog hop! Here in Delaware - it has been a busy few days as we are preparing for Irene...So join me for a cup of coffee, thats what I am having - and enjoy!

Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.

Standing over a cauldron, tossing in snippets of this, portions of that - brewing up a potion, a recipe in a cauldron. You imagine them, sisters three, over a large smoky steaming cauldron, aged, gnarled and bent - Shakespeare's Three Witches. Or perhaps you imagine a younger more contemporary potion maker - young Hermione sitting, small cauldron inher lap, brewing Polyjuice Potion in Moaning Myrtle's bathroom. (I DID just get back from vacation to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Orlando...)
