Just a sign that I'm alive...

After a NASTY wave of the stomach flu here at the Willis home, I am wiped out!  I am taking things easy and may fall behind in my duties at Adorn. I apologize, I will be back soon.
In the meantime a very fun and amazing artist, Jane Perkins, who works with beads and junk! Enlarge and look very closely.







What's really wild is that I was looking up who the artist was and googled: artist, junk, portraits, and there are many others who do fantastic work with our trash! Heres the screen shot of what came up from the search!

Very limited quantity of beauties!

I have a number of lovely new Key rings or Scissor Fobs available, just a short line of them and since I will be away tomorrow I won't post them in our shop just yet. Instead I will put them up here and give you first dibs!  These are beautifully handmade lampwork beads, large and impressive, hanging off of a screw-on key ring which you can use on your scissors or with your keys. Lovely handmade gifts. Send me a note (orna@ornadesign.com), with the ones you want, identify them with the numbers 1-4 as shown in the photo and I'll send you a Paypal invoice for payment.

They are priced: Number 1-3: $16 and Number 4: $18

There aren't too many of them so let me know before I post them in the shop!
