Apologies to Bono for that title. Yes, Dragavonne, I was up yesterday morning, I was already out of the house when you chatted me, that's why no answer. Yesterday we picked up a friend who came out from the city to go to the special Thanksgiving Beaverton Farmer's Market, where we picked up fresh yams, [...]
Russia signed the Kyoto Protocol to decrease emissions of greenhouse gases. This is something that has frustrated me literally for years, that everyone signed but the few making the most mess. It's been languishing for seven years because the nations that need to sign most, won't. Now left of the large, industrial nations are Australia, [...]
When Things Fall Apart : Heart Advice for Difficult Times (Shambhala Classics) by Pema Chodron A Path with Heart : A Guide Through the Perils and Promises of Spiritual Life by JACK KORNFIELD Or other books by these two, but she specified these. I guess they sound kinda new agey or self-helpy, but considering the [...]
I made five more pendants last night. My kiln says I'm firing too long, but I'm not sure what part of it is too long. My sequence comes from my classes, and I know what heat I have to fire to…well, this is why fire logs are good things to keep. I am enjoying making [...]
I'm in a large room, with many folks, next to customer service types. A cube 2 rows away has small tinny speakers. Simon's voice cut through all of it into my conciousness as I worked. "Sunrise" from afar is still lovely. I had a dream last night that DLJ and I were at a place [...]

It's the first necklace I made for myself, the center pendant was an accident (isn't that always the story?) The bottom of the center piece is actually clear, [...]
SOMEBODY had to be a ham about this and not let me photograph in peace. Maybe when I start selling I can pay her in catnip to be my spokes, er…furmodel. <img src="http://www.juiceglass.com/images/beads/ankimospiralpen.jpg"> Violet Spiral
I made three last night, and I have already given one away so only two for photos. One now, one a little later. =) <img src="http://www.juiceglass.com/images/beads/redcane.jpg"> Red Cane Now I want to make red and white twisty and make a hook on one end of it and really make a Christmasy one following this experimental [...]
Something I need work on is getting an even bead Often one side is a little wider than the other. This bead is a good example of that. Pretty, but uneven. I still like it, though. <img src="http://www.juiceglass.com/images/beads/melonball.jpg" /> Melon Ball Heh, if you look at this one on my actual journal page, the colors [...]
Can't help myself, now that I have so many photographed. <img src="http://www.juiceglass.com/images/beads/aquastripe.jpg"> Aqua Stripe
