Default ONLY a few hours left!

Once I get to work in the morning and post the "CLOSED" line it will be too late.

Not to worry, I will catch you the next time around. If this wasn't soo much of a hassle (and right now it's not) I will host one of these every other month as time permits.

If you can't wait, then get on over to the Bulk Buy section of the Garage sale and get your order in.



Thanks!

I'm sooo excited I tried boro for the first time today and this is what I made. I know its not much and I'm not really sure what colors I used because I bought a bunch of un-labeled boro shorts from someone online. But they're my first so I'm excited.
(I still need to clean them out I was just too excited that I made something with boro lol)

I'm a newbie with boro and I finally took the challenge and sculpted some for the very first time

Here's my first batch... silly me, I didn't have any clear, nor black nor white... thus... used cherry red for the eyes of the surfing kritter... it's standing on a sculpted flower, which I pulled with my pliers

Also tried doing a blown bead and I couldnt resist putting a frog on it... then did some sculpted roses.

What can I say? I LOVE IT! Now, I just need to experiment some more, to get the right colours.

Rufie, those are cute!

Vanessa, that's one nice heart and congrats on being in it for a year! Is the party at your house???



GREAT NEWS!

IF YOU ORDERED DURING THE BULK BUY, THE GLASS IS BEING DELIVERED TO MY HOUSE THIS AFTERNOON!

I will be in touch once all the glass is cut, sorted and ready to be mailed.

If you did not get a chance to order and find you need some, send me a pm and I'll see what is left to sell after all the orders are filled.

Thanks!

I love the key! Very kewl! I think I should have posted my stuff here instead of the regular thread, so here's some more. These are Momka's Pistachio (frog and pear). I'm trying to learn about colors by working them individually. The frog is my 2nd attempt at a frog, and I was so proud of it that I attached it to my purse. The eyes are a bit wonky, and I grabbed blue instead of black for the eyes... but I still like it.

Thanks! and like you know, it's so much better in person. The blues lean towards purple. I think I used blue lightening for this one.

Michelle, your frogs are so adorable! I just love their expressions!
Kare, I think you really have a good thing going with those keys! Keep it up.
Lisa, a very well done pendant! It's simply elegant.
Hels, that pistachio looks great as a pear! Like that you have made a different sort of vessel!

I have a couple of ruffled beads to show and an arrowhead (if you haven't already seen it in the regular S&T.
