Auction and a Birthday

Here is the set I just listed on eBay tonight, ending Monday evening. I love these beads, and especially because I worked with Double Helix's Olympia Rain, the first time I've used any DH glass. I am only like 4 years behind the curve, but at least I have a good excuse. I actually ordered the glass (which is obscenely expensive) three years ago, thinking once we bought our house and got out of the corporate apartment, I would be making beads straight away. And then John was born! Anyway, it is a dreamy glass to work with, it flows so differently than Effetre.


Tom and I are taking a quick excursion to the mountains to celebrate my birthday. I think it will be only our second trip without kids and we are both looking forward to it.
