Busy, busy.

I always pretend that going to camp is a vacation.  I don't do laundry or dishes and I don't do much in the way of cooking, but otherwise, I'm a slave to the art room.  (And I love it.  Don't get me wrong...) Between brainstorming for project ideas, making samples, setting up, cleaning up, and actually teaching, the day passes in a blissful blur.  Then there are the countless of requests for lanyard or bracelet string, the "I broke my ring/headband/shoe, can you fix it" queries, and the oft-heard need for posterboard for birthday signs.  This year, since I have a new space to jazz up, I've been painting the walls whenever there's a stretch of unfilled time, as well. 

Evenings and early mornings, I hang out with my own kidlets and make goodies for the shop.  These are my new favorites---the Benadryl earrings.  With those colors, I couldn't have called them anything else.

These are called Paint the Town Red--I'm gaga over the little vintage bead-buttons I found for the dangles.
 So I've been hitting the button box pretty hard, but take heart!  There are melted marble pendants on the horizon.  What can I say?  I have a kiln, and I'm going to use it!

Thanks for taking the time to comment...it makes me feel a little less like I'm talking to myself again.
