Whoa! Beautiful egg, Kachina! I attempted to make one of those once, but it wasn’t nearly that pretty! I tried to make it look like it had holly leaves and berries on it, but they looked like red and green blobs when I was done :nea: Those eggs definetly take some skill!

They’re beautiful; one is a loop of garnet beads with a glass prism bead in the center, and the other is a loop of purple beads with some little blown glass fish in the middle. OMG Leigha THANK YOU! They are beautiful and the fish are sooo perfect (have several aquariums and love my fishies)!
Yay! ^^ When you specified Fishies on your request I was like “OMG PERFECT!” I have a bunch of those little glass fishies ^^ Mostly my keepers and muses hold them like they’re yummy sushi ^^ hee hee. I’ve had those garnet stones forever and never could figure out what to do with them (not enough to make a bracelet) so THIS is what I bought them for so many years ago π
Anyway, glad you like! Hope your ornament is just slow instead of lost in the mail O.O
I haven’t gotten mine yet π Excited though ^^
December 17, 2010 at 6:22 pm #830312All of those ornaments are lovely! I love the little winged kitty. Leigha, I have one of those fish, but it’s not a bead! They had one at my college in the museum shop one Christmas. It was the only one hanging on the tree, so I bought him, so he wouldn’t be so lonely! *lol*
Kachina, I’m so going to have to come visit you so you can teach me how to do those eggs! I have all the stuff, but I’ve never gotten around to trying (and need to find patterns/designs to try)!
December 17, 2010 at 8:35 pm #830313Got my Ornament today ^^!!
They are from Keplily!
She made the cutest little dragons ^^ One is sitting in an ornament to hang on a tree (though I don’t have a tree this year so he’s on my shelf with my keepers) and the other is a magnet!
So cute Keplily, thank you so much! ^^
Oh, and the stationary she used to send me a note has the cooooooooolest dragons on them O.O I didn’t get a pic, maybe when I get home tonight π

You are welcome anytime. π I’m going to be teaching some classes on them around Eastertime, too.

Got my package today! Thank you Siberakh!
I ripped open the package to find a pretty little box and nestled safely inside were two adorable little pinecone birdies. They seemed a bit confused as they thought they were on their way much further south for the winter, but I offered them a nice little nest in my tree which they happily took. They’re perfect!
December 18, 2010 at 6:49 pm #830315Oh good! They got there safely! I wanted to make the beaks black, like the real birds, but they were so dark, I opted for yellow, like the one I made in first grade? :scratch: and opted for foam (couldn’t find plastic like we used… not even sure what we used! The teacher cut the pieces out for us! We just painted and assembled them!).
Yay! I’m glad you like them. π
December 18, 2010 at 10:33 pm #830316All these ornaments are great! Kudos to everyone! π
December 18, 2010 at 11:37 pm #830317I will have to participate next time. All these ornaments are adorable. π

December 20, 2010 at 6:43 pm #830320Oh, Foxfeather, it’s BEAUTIFUL!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I’ll get some pictures taken later tonight and post them for everyone!
Foxfeather, do you mind if I share part of the letter with the forum? I think the story of your inspiration is just as neat as the ornament!!

YAY!!! π It arrived. I was starting to get a bit nervous that it might not make it by Christmas. and I’m glad you like it π I always get so nervous when making things for other people. I don’t mind if you want to share the story at all! π
December 21, 2010 at 3:25 am #830322I can’t wait to see!! π

I have until I go to bed tonight to get the house sparkly clean!! I will get pictures up, I promise!! π
