I Heart Macro


It is a another wonderful I Heart Macro Sunday - and it is Easter to boot!  I hope you all have a wonderful Easter Sunday with family and friends.  Mom and I will be leaving shortly to my aunt's house for a wonderful Easter Sunday lunch with the fam.  I think we are now up to 15 of us for lunch and then it is time to find Easter eggs for the kids.  Mom and I can't wait.

Okay, on to the pictures.  I thought I would share what I have been making for the past two weeks.  I am in love with my frit and here are photos of what I have been working with.

Enjoy!

Frit in a bottle - from Glass Diversions
 
Color of glass I was using for the beads
Frits I have been using a lot of:


Clear frit - sort of looks like snow

Emerald Isle frit
  
Fiesta frit

 
Japanese Maple frit


Purple Delight frit

The end results - the beads.  This is just a small sampling of what I have been making.  Mom used some of my other frit beads in necklaces I posted yesterday:




I thought I would end with some cute pictures of mom's youngest cat Lily in a Bag.


Happy Easter everyone!

  4. The frit pictures are great! But, my fave are the kitty-in-a-bag shots. It never ceases to amuse me when cats get little nutty.
    Happy Easter!
