CHRISTMAS IN JULY






It's winter here in the Southern hemisphere, so for those of us who grew up in the Northern one, it's as Christmas feeling as it's gonna get ! 
No snow, but a little frost now and then. Sweaters and hot drinks are in order. It reminds me of a Florida winter with lots of sunshine but a definite nip in the air.

I am also going State side early this year to help with a new grand baby, so we are in the Christmas making mood in the studio.

 Angels we have heard on high..........

 Some wheel thrown ornaments I have been experimenting with

 ornaments

and more ornaments


Christmas bells

even an African patterned bell


And as always, the OKAWA beads are rolling out with a couple of firings a week. We have lots of stock, and I will soon have to slow the ladies down  in order to be able to handle pay day.
We are all praying for a break through in finding some kind of wholesale outlet in the USA or Europe. 
(And here I thought if we built a fabulous " mouse trap they would come" :))
