The Creative Glass Guild of Etsy (CGGE) and the etsyBEAD Street Team have joined forces for a creative collaboration challenge. CGGE members will create gorgeous glass cabs, beads, and pendants for etsyBEAD members to turn into beautiful pieces of finished jewelry. These pieces will then be donated to the Helping Others Street Team (HOST) in order to raise money for those fellow Etsyians in need.
Check out the pictures of finished pieces as well the one day poll! http://creativemindsforcharity.wordpress.com/

The pieces are now being sold in the HOST shop on Etsy http://host.etsy.com/

I'm on vacation for a few days. No torching, no listing, no beads until the 15th. It is probably needed and I am so looking forward to spending time with family!
I do have new colors of glass for when I come back and that is always an adventure. And I will do one glassy thing while I'm gone and that is to find more fusing glass.
I've become a contributor to my etsy street blog and am working on doing some member spotlights. Makes me think I should also do featured artists on my blog so you can see some of the amazing work that is being done by people I've come to know through the beads and Etsy.
And now for some of the things that I have been doing this month so far....
