Venice here I come!

My Mum and Godmother have surprised me with a trip to Venice and I can`t wait!

(I'm going for my 30th birthday - ssssssh don`t tell anyone I`m 30!!!)

I have never been before but have seen it is so beautiful and steeped in glassy history.

I am staying for one full day - obv the main reason I am being taken over ther is to visit glassy places, because I LOVE glass! :)

I would love to her from anyone who has been over there, where to go (where not to go!) accomodation,etc etc....

Looking forward to hearing your suggestions!

Happy New Year!

I have been experimenting! You like? I think I do!! I`ve never wire wrapped in my life and now I`m obsessed with moonstones and their little sparkly blue splashes of colour, oh and oxidized silver with its coppery bluey patina. Gooooooorgeous!!

Website issues!!

I could scream! I`ve been trying to update my website all day... will have to wait for the people at mrsite I guess...... grrr!

Anyway, I have created some glass beads from Champagne bottles which are available for you to buy. Exciting! They are a beautiful deep rich green colour obviously this varies with the type of Champagne bottle, but I`ve not had a yucky green yet!

Alternatively, you can send me your special occasion bottle so I can create beads for your own very exclusive and luxurious designs.

www.craftyclare.co.uk is no longer.

but http://www.beadsbyclarescott/ is! I`ve been trying to get around to change my sites over for ages, today was the day! Nothing has changed, just the name.

A few more bead sets for you today - think I`ve finally worked out the lighting!

Happy Halloween!

Trick or Treat? Definately treat!

Just email your Paypal address with your chosen beads to clare@beadsbyclarescott.co.uk

Postage is always free.

Take care, Clare x

Ok, so I have to tag 7 people in return, well I guess the buck stops here.
I think everyone I know has been tagged already, and I`m sure they found it hard enough to think of 7 things!!

7 facts about me? Hmmmm.......
1. I believe in what goes around comes around, karma & fate.
2. I am Vegetarian
3. I have a benign essential tremor in my hands (a teeny weeny shake which gets worse if I get stressed) which is why my beads are chunky and not very intricate - stringer work is a no no!
4. I love music and go to Leeds festival every year.
5. I am a Qualified Veterinary Nurse
6. I never want kids, cats are a perfect 'substitute'.
7. I believe Steve Coogan is a comedy genius.

Well thats it! Fallen asleep yet??!!
