My first workshop!

Things are moving fast here, but sometimes not fast enough because here's what my living room looks like now and this is really only about 1/3 of what we're moving!

We will christen the teaching area at the new home of Painting with Fire Studio on Saturday, May 19!  We'll be enameling lots of beads, pendants and charms while we use the immersion process of torch-fired enamel! I look forward to this workshop being the beginning of many new learning experiences at our new place!  To register online, click here!

"Torch-Fired Enamel Jewelry" - book website

When we last visited Barbara, she was experiencing a calamity of epic proportions.  After four days of solid work on her website using iWeb ... things turned ugly.  Over 20 hours of trying to ftp her website to Go Daddy were rewarded with nada ... zip ... zero. 

Even though haggard, near tears and ready for a breakdown, Barbara, who had not gotten out of her pajamas all day, could not garner the sympathy of her family.  Their exasperation was palpable. She begged their forgiveness, but persevered in her goal.  Another day at the computer ... at the WIX website builder ... and the skies parted. Tada!  Eureka!  Here is what she made ...

Thanks for visiting and for your encouragement ... Barbara's family thanks you, too!

P.S.  In all fairness to her family, they are the ones who cooked, cleaned, and did all her laundry for the week. :-)

New copper shapes at PWF!

Hi all, I hope everyone had a great mother's day.  I spent some time photographing these new copper shapes that are for sale at my website: www.paintingwithfireartwear.com.  Come for a visit ... and stay a while!

The Book is Finally Here!

How cool is this!  Please take a look at amazon.com and visit my page there! I've posted a little video of the process.  Don't blink or you'll miss a bead being enameled in about a minute.  I can't wait until the publisher gives us a peek inside!

I want to thank you all for your encouragement over these many months.  I have been the recipient of so many kindnesses ... thank you!

Thanks, Kerry!  I forgot to mention that signed copies of "The Book" are available for pre-order at my website: www.paintingwithfireartwear.com.  :-)
