Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I thought this Sea Pod I just listed on Etsy fit for today's color scheme. This one turned out extra pretty!

123

Are you old enough to remember the Jello dessert 123? It was a mix and you poured it into dessert glasses and it would separate into three different layers. I loved it as a kid because it was so cool. This bead reminded me of that dessert so I named it 123 Sea Pod. If you're a glass peep, this is the perfect example of how fickle silver glass can be because I used the same glass for all the dots. This is Psyche. I placed all the dots on, reduced and then started on the center row first and topped all the dots in that row with clear. The center row turned a gorgeous periwinkle with lots of lavender, even thought the dots look mostly blue in the photograph. While keeping the bead warm I lost reduction on the side rows so I reduced again and then did the row on the left that turned aqua. I then warmed the entire bead up and went straight to the other side without reducing again and topped that with clear and got a fabulous purple. 123!

Giving this a try...

I thought I would give this site a try as a blog host instead of having it on my website. This way the blog can be interactive so we'll see how this goes.

This is one of my Sea Pod pendants and I gave it to my SIL as a thank you for having both Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner. All that cooking and cleaning is a ton of work so I wanted to show my appreciation. I think she liked it!

I'm always glad when Christmas is over and the best part is no more Christmas music on my radio station. That was getting painful.
