Here is a new set that will be on eBay tonight:

I have been making more canes lately. I just finished a new cane called a Clown Triggerfish. I made a pendant using the cane and here is a picture.

I like the pendant but I have actually started making a new cane of the same fish. If I finish it soon, I will post pictures.
Have a great week!

I have been busy making new Murrine. I stopped making them for about a year and now I'm in full swing. Here are pictures of the Seahorse and the new clownfish murrine. 

I also just had a new changeable bezel that I had made and here is the finished product. The cabochon is removeable.

Take care, Pati
The Bear in Summer....
I just got my 2 minutes of fame. The NBC (9 news) called me and came out to the house to interview me about my bear pictures. You can watch the interview by clicking here http://www.9news.com/life/programming/shows/evenings/article.aspx?storyid=96189&catid=510

He is trying to get the finch feeder. He wasn't successful!

I have to mention this wonderful artist that I found on eBay. I bought an 8 x 10 painting of my dog Cosi (cozy) and it is so wonderful. I will post a link to her auctions. Here is the picture that she did of the picture on the bottom of this page.
This picture captures the exact look of my darling dog. I can't wait to get more paintings from her. Her eBay name is brushwithfineart and here is the link: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZbrushwithfineart
I can't say enough good things about Sharon.
I took lots of pictures and really have to download them. I will post some of them here. Also, have to get back on the torch today. I'm working on a new press from Cattwalk.
Have a wonderful day! Pati
Cozy and the buck.....

Here is a picture of Johnny and Cosi on a rock in Yankee Boy Basin (near Ouray, CO.).
