Well, the Seattle summer ended rather definitively, with the wettest September on record. That's not great for my energy levels, but good for longer kiln-running hours. I've been in heavy production mode lately, getting ready for the Northwest Bead Society Bead Bazaar this weekend. It's October 5th & 6th in the Hansen events center at Comcast Arena in Everett, WA. I've been making a lot of buttons, in various styles, but quite a lot of handpaint.

I've also been working on a few special cloisonne pieces as examples of the custom work that I'm capable of:

| Before firing #4 |

I did manage to actually finish a few, too!

| The tiny blue star, the derpiest jack-o-lantern, and the awesomest rose |
I hope, if you're in the area, you come out to the Beed Bazaar! If not, look for a steady increase in listings on Artfire and Etsy as we get into the holiday season.
