Meet Ewelalie, my most recent version of a glass sheep bead. The life of an artist is not an easy one. I've suffered so many decisions; still am not happy about her ears, and just can't decide where to place her tail. Ewelalie is the first sheep I've made with a blank face, and I like it. All previous incarnations had cutsie eyes, which are fine but not the look I'm striving for.
That's a dime in the photo, by the way, to give some perspective on her size. As always, click for a larger view.
Sheep are not all that's emerging from my kiln the last few days. I've been busy, busy, busy melting glass. You can see more of what I've been up to on JustBeads.
As long as I'm hawking goods... If you're a Frank Lloyd Wright fan, or a cross-stitcher, check out the books I have listed on eBay. My mom's been busy clearing her bookshelves. Making room for a sock-yarn stash, Mother?
Ewelalie is very sweet! Could you imagine knitting needles with her at the ends of them?
Troy is doing quite well. Had a rough 2 weeks with seizures, but they are under control again, and all is well. Still has his "normal" difficulties, but nothing new. He's in grade 6 this year, and I'm having a hard time with the fact that he may never learn some of the basics of life; like numbers and letters.
TTFN
