Fly my pretties! Fly! Fly!!!!!Who remembers my top-secret classified beads that I was working on back in February? I'll admit, I ran into an unforseen problem right after I painted the said beads, which resulted in a 6 month drying process. Here they are before they went in the oven, back before I ever bought my Saab (Feb. 26)
So like I said, they came out of the oven, I painted them, went to Boston and bought my Saab...came back...they weren't dry...came back a week later...they weren't dry...put them on a shelf...month later...still not dry...back on the shelf...I went to Canada just after my 100th Etsy sale and spent a couple days at the beach on Lake Ontario. Naturally I started poking around for sea glass. On the second day, I got more than I bargained for.
First fossil found in the wild. I'm seriously contemplating naming it Nemo in 2525.
I did find quite a few more, but the best was this large rock with several different organisms and at least one clear fish (by my index finger) ...or at least something with a skull and a spine. I was so psyched, and still am!When we came back home, this reminded me of my secret trilobite bead project from February...and wouldn't you know they're finally DRY?
The genuine trilobite was one I bought at a rock show in 1990. He's almost like a pet. The white one and gold one are twins, but I'm keeping the white one. The gold one is for sale!
