Oh well, at least we still have his old camera.

Just one day before the camera’s battery died, the primary hard drive on my desktop computer died, and I had to get a replacement yesterday. Other than the time and work it takes to set up the new OS and drivers and stuff, I can’t complain–the old one was 80GB and I was able to replace it with a 500GB drive. Which means I now have…1200GB of storage. Yikes!

Anyway, this is all boring stuff to a crafty audience, I’m sure. But, while I was visiting my family for Thanksgiving, I gt to pick up two huge boxes of artwork and art supplies from my college days. Woo!

Today I’m going to be glazing, glazing, glazing, with some new listing thrown in. And meanwhile, the Handmade Supplies Resource continues to improve and expand.

As you can see, I’ve made lots of beads, I appear to have successfully made several bead molds, with more on the way (we’ll see how they survive the firing) and I have some other misc. stuff in the works–not pictured is a vase I made last week, plus today I made a dozen teeny little pinch pots, intended for use when I’m sorting out this big bag of mixed-up glass beads I have. And, later last night I also finished the big cup you can see in progress in that picture.

I’ve been trying to make a massive amount of test tiles, but I can’t find an efficient, uniform way to do it. I’ve decided to find a simple cookie cutter, or make something similar myself.
