I guess it’s all in the angle. The actual bead doesn’t really look anything like an owl, but I can see what everyone is talking about. The reflection of the center hole between two of the dots absolutely gives appearance of two owl eyes. This gives me an idea for a bead I want to try.
I love Celtic music. This song is one of my favorites, and seeing as how it’s October 1st, I’m going to please myself and note the lyrics. The rest of you, feel free to be bored. I’ll try to be more interesting and less maudlin later. Perhaps this lulluby will help me sleep tonight. If…
Shells from Long Beach Island, 2010 July 04 I spent some of this past weekend looking for shells on Long Beach Island. I usually look for the tiny, perfect shells. Many times Iâll find what looks like a perfect shell, only to turn it over and find the back cracked or entirely missing. Sometimes the…
It’s too hot to do anything except occasionally rotate to present the other side to the fan. Philadelphia peaked at 102°F (38.9°C) this afternoon. It’s just after 6:00 now, and 101° in the city. I put a 9″X13″ pan of water out in the garden with ice in it in the shade this afternoon for…
In his updates of today, AussieDeafMan speaks of researching control freaks. My own observations of Freakus controlus may be of some limited use. Control freaks come in several different subspecies. I have had the dubious pleasure of having four of these subspecies competing for space within my own work environment. They seldom herd together, although…
These cramps are getting annoying. Without warning, my fingers or toes lock up. If it’s my hand, for some reason it’s nearly always the middle finger of my right hand, locked straight and stiff, as though my body were flipping me off. I was trying to read tonight, but holding the book caused me to…
⢠1 jigger bourbon ⢠1 tablespoon mild honey ⢠2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice ⢠1/4 cup boiling-hot water Last night I substituted Splenda for the honey, since that is what I had in the house. It doesnât cure the common cold, but it sure makes you care less about it. The cold has…

Oooo – those are cool!
Perrenial burnt cds fest
Ooooh, neato! That last one, the blue swirled dots one? It looks like a face to me. The kid thinks it looks like an owl or an eagle. I think it looks human…ish. Kinda spooky. That tubular one with the blue flower and the green grass and clear background makes me want to take up macrame again so that I could wear that as a bracelet.
So when are you going to encase three of your lovely hairs in imperishable crystal? *grin*
Seriously, I wonder if it can be done. I suppose the hair would burn up in the high temperatures, though.
I can see why you enjoy this so much.
I agree, that last one looks like an owl to me too. 🙂
They’re all lovely and yes the last one looks like an owl!
Lovely! Gorgeous colours, and effects that make me want to see them from every angle.
Those are so pretty!
Nice work!
