Thank you for joining me on my weekend journey to San Diego and so many of the things I saw. I had an absolutely fabulous time and learned so much from Blue Lily and the other workshop attendees. I am still floating from the experience and everything I learned.
I'm also floating because I took yesterday off and spent much of it on the torch. I made ninety one beads. That's right....91 little new beads. And one worry stone. Woo hoo!
I don't have everything cleaned out yet. Or etched. So I will start off with a set and a worry stone I made last week. I love this blue.
And when it is reduced, it turns all mirrory metallic on me. If etched, it would be a deep cobalt blue. I'm still contemplating on whether or not to etch. What do you think? Should I etch? Or should I make another set and etch those?
Here is the start of the beads I made yesterday. I'm halfway through cleaning. Maybe not quite half. I will be etching these, but wanted to at least give a sneak peak of what is coming. I wanted to have lots of sea glass beads to put in the shop on Saturday.
Here is the worry stone I made yesterday. To etch or not? Hmmm.
Hoping to get the rest of the beads cleaned tonight and etch them so I can hopefully (HOPEFULLY!) photograph them all tomorrow over my lunch hour.

Kelley, those are gorgeous beads. I think I'd make another set then try the etching! That would be my suggestion!
Hi Kelly, I simply love your blog and your beautiful work. I look forward to following you on this amazing journey.
To etch or not? Tough question. While I love etched beads, I really like that metalic finish.
Ga ga ga gorgeous dahling! I can't wait to hear about your experience.
