I've been reading


So for me reading is a fun yet dangerous. I often get swept up in whatever I have read and then the creativity happens. My latest read was just an innocent magazine I picked up at Indigo. Then it happened. I found an article on glass etching. Any sane person would go to the craft store in a week or two to check out what was available, but being me I had to pick up my supplies immediately. I have now purchased a bottle of etching fluid, stickers and a practice pendant. I am so excited I am going into the kitchen after I finish writing this and I will let you know how it went. I found the idea in handcrafted jewelry but they got the idea from a book called Custom cool jewelry by Melinda Barta. She is the editor of beadwork magazine. I can't tell you the amount of times I have walked past the glass etching section but it never occured to me to use it on pendants. Thank-you Melinda especially if it turns out wonderfully.
