The bead store was a bust. Really starting to NOT like that place anymore. All they seem to have anymore is mostly focal bead type things. Very little seed beads, no Delicas anymore. but I keep trying, you know, to support a local vendor.}:/
The Rock Guy was a success though. I had taken my current piece with me, to pick out the proper size caps, etc, and showed him. He thought it was someone else's work.}:/ He said she was the best jewelry/beadwork person they had there in the Market, and said it appeared she now had competition when he found out it was my work. He was thrilled to know it was one of his rocks in the piece though. I did leave a business card with him as well. He asked if I was keeping it, I said no, when it's finished, it'll be up for sale, and he agreed that the figure I'm looking at is a good price for it.
I did pick out at least 2 other sets I want to get next weekend, so have to budget the money in. Did pick up one set today, one that I'd been really wanting. So that's my next project.
I had the beads picked out even before I had the stones, and they complement beautifully. This will be another gorgeous piece. And the best part is, again, it's 2 stones, so again, I can make 2 necklaces if I chose. These ones are also about half an inch larger than the others. The others I have my eye on are the same color schemes, but in 2 different sizes. So that'll be fun too.
Made tuna fish salad sandwiches for lunch. Am cooking up potatoes and eggs for potatoe salad and contemplating making brownies with espresso substituted for the water in the mix. Only, now I can't, as I have no eggs. Oops. Oh well.
Dante's having an 'eh' day. But then, it is clouding over and preparing for rain- I watered the garden today, go figure.
Another Titan's Glory bloomed too. }:)
See the eggs? Click on them if you would. I want to see what they turn into.
