Caught Munching

A special snail for a special kid.

Snail Herd

Just hit my goal for the week.  A batch of 50 snails for Beads of Courage. 

Well worth the 18+ hours flamework time of snailtastic fun!

Ladies Man

Remember Salty the Snail???  Well apparently he is quite the ladies man snail.  His brood has taken over my flower garden.  Sadly, the vegetation cannot support his growing family.

 

I know what you're thinking... and table salt is out of the question!  

 

 

Thanks to Beads of Courage program, the adorable baby snails will be heading to Tucson. 
No worries, I will put air holes in the shipping container.

Salty the Snail Set in Pink

Hodge-Podge Necklace

A Hodge-Podge of Beads. The entire set includes 31 colorful beads and measure 18+ inches in length. The total flame time: 10 hours (not including cane and stringer prep).  It even includes a sweet duck in the upper left corner.  Totally clipped him out of the photograph on accident.  Love how the necklace turned out!
