Them Bones!

I received a surprise package in the mail today from Lori Flanders. Check out the picture of these fabulous handmade lampwork "bone" beads. They are funky and fun! I have about a week to create a necklace out of the bones for my 2010 Fall submission deadline to "Stringing" magazine. Lori sells her small wearable works of art that are different from anything you have ever seen on Etsy. You can buy her edgy birds, hearts, cupcakes, acorns or skulls ready to wear on a chain or the beads alone. Visit her Etsy store "LORiOLA" or her website site at www.Isabelsrose.com.

    How lucky are you?! I want to score some free stuff! If anybody out there wants to send me free beads, I'll gladly make something with them for submission to one of the magazines!
