Mother's Day

Hello Everyone!

I'm sorry that it has been so long in updating the blog but I'm finally updating at last...

It's been a very busy bead month, and I'd like to thank you all for that! You are the inspiration for my designs! But, unfortunately I am going to have to take a mini break for a short period of time.

As many of you know, I am expecting a baby, and shortly after Mother's Day I will be having a little girl. During the following week or two I will not post any new designs...but of course you are still welcome to look around at the site! I will not be shipping out any orders for at least a week after the baby comes...but I will keep the site updated on dates, etc. regarding shipping orders. You may of course still place an order, but they will not go out until the 20th of May or later. As I said, I will definitely keep the site updated with dates on shipments, etc.

And of course, you are always more than welcome to email me with any questions or comments you have--I love receiving your emails! Thank you!

-Lori

November

Good Morning Fellow Bead Lovers!

As some of you know by now, I have had to take a short vacation from creating lampwork beads. The good news: I have been having a lot of fun discovering fellow lampwork artists' beads! So most of the new designs you see that include lampwork and/or borosillicate glass beads are from these talented artists. I will most likely return to making my own glass beads next summer or fall...I already have a lot of new ideas that I'll just have to save until then. :)

Also, many thanks to those of you that participated in my Veterans Day Sale. This sale also gives me a chance to donate extra to the Disabled American Veterans fund (www.dav.org).

Stay tuned to Belukro.com in the upcoming weeks. I'll have another contest coming up just in time for the holidays!

September

Thank you to you all for making September a great bead month! We had amazing participation in our sales events--which makes me think that we need to have more sales events!

As for the Great Ceramic Bead Experiment....it hasn't been going so Great. Seeing my litte blue kiln glowing orange on the inside from the high temperatures freaked me out a little bit so I am going to put the GCBE on hold for awhile. I am going to stick to my simple beading projects that don't require a 1500 degree temperature to complete!

And as always, we welcome all of your comments, questions, and custom orders...keep them coming!

The Great Ceramic Bead Experiment

Good Morning, Fellow Bead Lovers!

I've been working on a new project--ceramic beads! I did a lot of research on the internet before finally deciding on a certain type of clay and glazes...it's been a lot of trial and error! I made a lot of cute shapes and kiln fired a batch Saturday--they seem to have turned out well so far. Now I need to glaze them and fire them again--the tricky part! I'll get some pictures up in the next week or so once they are finished....stay tuned!

More New Fall Designs Coming SOON!
