Marcy, could you share your tutorial? The NW Fire and Rain Chapter are having a bead making day this weekend too.

Of course, I want to share it with everyone. I'll figure out how to put it online and have it up by 11 am tomorrow. It's just a simple handwritten set, with drawings, but really easy to follow.

You know what I have done before, not the best but it works (well just) OK. Take a digital photo of your picture. That way if you don't have a scanner, you can still put it in a digital format.

I'll have my simple hand drawn piggy tutorial on my blog tomorrow morning early. I'll be back to post the url when it goes live. Please download it if you wish. Sorry it's not fancier, but you'll be able to easily understand it. Also at the bottom it gives my email address if you want a pdf sent to you as well.

Thank you so much Marcy; I plan on going to the Fireflies Austin event on Sat night if I can, but I want to practice a little first on some piggies at home before I go!

I'd like to send Dylan a piggy and a note. My heart goes out to this little guy. How brave all the children are. I'll do my best in making some piggys that can be strung on his string...... Sandy :0)

Here is my first attempt at a piggy for Dylan. I hope he likes it. Lori, is there any way to send him a little piggy stuffed animal?I have a really cute one that my Daughter has two of, and I thought he might like it.

Lori,

My blown pig vessel was mailed today. Since it has no hole, it can't be strung but it will stand by itself, being a vessel.

Hi Lori, What a wonderful thing to be a part of!! I have wanted to do this for a while now.
How do I find out where to send my piggy beads for Dylan?
I am in Canada, so cannot really hand deliver them.

Thank You, Denise.

Ooops!! Disregard that message about address please. I really must hold my enthusiasm long enough to read a whole post now and then!

Power to Dylan and his Piggys.

Yay Duane! Way to go. My family doesn't always recognize what I make on my first try either. Luckily, we get better with practice.

If it is not too late I have 5 little piggy heads to send tomorrow. I am pretty sure they will survive the kiln.

Time to send mine off! A big one, two wee ones- in case he has a Mom who needs pig earrings, and a mask with a curly tail on the back. I'll try and remember to take a picture. I'm sending them off at the same time I send my taxes- that will make me feel better!
