new kooky kritters!
Hi everyone!Happy Monday :) Hope you had a nice weekend. On Friday I had a fun experiment day and above are the results! I created plenty of new characters to join my kooky kritters family (I've added some new ones to my lampwork website shop too!) including puppies, bunnies, hamsters, guppy fish, a cow, a chick and a vampire squid!
Here are the guppies from the front. They have the sweetest little smiling faces :) The little blue fish, Fido, is in my lampwork Etsy shop right now!
And the bunny trio is just in time for Easter: Dotty, Trixie and Daisy.
I had a request for more hamsters.. and here they are! This is Muffin and Pumpkin. Expect more hammies soon :) 
Last, but not least, the terribly scary VAMPIRE SQUID!! Are you scared? A little? Not even a tremble? Wellll.. ok, he's probably cuter than he is scary ;) I adore squid, cuttlefish and octopuses (brief aside: I distinctly remember being taught the plural was 'octopi'.. which led me to this.. where I could spend ALL DAY!)Off to light the torch and get to work on some orders. Tomorrow is new dreads day so I have to make up for taking the day off tomorrow!! :)
Have a wonderful week!
Love,
keiara

sweeties!
I've made a few new 'sweet treat' focal beads! I looooove making them as they just make me smile so much :) I think I may have to make more this afternoon. Any requests? I'm digging the ice cream cones and may also do a few chocolate covered strawberries too. YUM!
Here is my latest fishie, Victoria Valentine. She's decorated with the 'Passion' frit blend from Beady Sam which I'm simply obsessed with! Victoria is my official Valentine's Day mascot this year. I don't know why I need a mascot but, hey, it makes me happy :) Plus she gets me giggling every time I look at her.
Watch this space for more fishies and sweet treats coming up! Hope you're having a great day :)
Love,
keiara

new blog!
Pauly PiranhaHi everyone! I've created this new blog as my old one was just not working for me. Hopefully this will be a great new home for my blog and I'll write a lot more. I'm in the process of designing a whole new website (!!!) which I'll hopefully have all ready in the next month or so.
In glassy news I am making lots of new fishies! What do you think? I'm having a great time making them and everyone seems to really like them too.

I also have to mention a couple of lovely ladies today.
A BIG thank you to Carolyn Grant of CeeGee Jewellery for her wonderful mention of Pauly Piranha in her blog. Carolyn also created a new fabulously gorgeous bangle with one of my beads so please go check out her blog and site. Thanks, Carolyn, you're a sweetheart!
Also a big hug and thank you to Sam Halliwell of Aurorabeadz. Sam is a fellow lampworker and friend and we had a lovely get together last week. Sam also mentioned our meet-up on her blog. You're welcome to come over for a tea party and lampworking anytime, Sam!
And I can't forget the oh-so-sweet Kate Sullivan of Sublime Beads. Kate sent me a wonderful package with an AMAZING glass goddess bead and some pretty, pink frit along with a lovely card. You really made my day, Kate, thank you so much.
All in all I had a really wonderful week studded with lovely thoughts, comments and gifts from several fantastic ladies that I'm proud to call friends. Thank you, girls, you rock!
Ok I'm off to work on the new website some more. Wish me luck and have a nice Sunday!
Love,
keiara
