Glass Crafts, Guild Fun

It’s another lazy weekend here for us. Eddie is at work, I’m surfing the web, the usual Sunday activities. I’ve got to go out and get rent out, and I might stop for some Taco Bell while I’m out and about.
Friday at around 11pm I got it into my head that I wanted to go through the lamp full of beach glass that I think is nice, but tacky as all hell. I want to take some of the big pieces out and put them into glass jars with lights in them and make something interesting, but the smaller ones I’ve been wrapping with wire and using as pendants, possibly up for sale in the future.
And as a note to anyone wondering, 5lbs of beach glass makes more noise than you’d expect when pouring it out of a container.
Yesterday, Mom and I were going to get our hair cut. Mom had ended up calling ahead and getting me an appointment to get it dyed as well, so I’m now a redhead once again. I got it cut shorter as well, and it will look cute once I can work it the way that I like it. Yay for red hair!
I hate to say it since my former guild was such a fantastic group of people, but the new guild we’re in completely rocks. Eddie and I have gotten to do more in the 2 weeks with them than we’d done in the last 6 months with the other guys. I didn’t suck too badly in our Kara run the other night, and I also managed to get 3 new pieces of gear out of the deal. So it was with a bit of pleasure that when Eddie and I were invited along for the old guild’s attempt at Kara the other night, we could say “No thanks, we’ve already gone this week and can’t.” They never did manage to get enough people to do it.

The beach glass pendants are beautiful! You are very talented. Also a big WOOT! for the newly red hair!

Thanks! I’m still new to wire wrapping so these aren’t as spectacular as some of the stuff you can find out there (I’m using plain craft wire because I’m not so good as to waste some good sterling), but I think for a first attempt at doing this sort of thing they turned out pretty ok
