i want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart who participated in this raffle. i enjoyed an amazing two days with lisa st. martin and a group of wonderful beadmakers in madison, wi. i learned some great new techniques to incorporate into my work, including : gold and silver fuming (bling!), working with dichroic glass (sparkle!) and incorporating copper leaf and metals into the glass (whoa!)....all things i've wanted (and tried in vain) to learn for a long, long time.

 

i made 12 really cool beads during the duration of the workshop and i can't wait to announce the winners of all the prizes, but first i HAVE to show you some of lisa's amazing beads!
