Hi, there, my Bead-loving Friend,
|
|
I have to tell you something. It is probably not going to surprise many of you if you've ever tried to get a hold of me for any reason in the last 20 months...I am getting worse and WORSE at finding time to read emails or listen to voicemails, not to mention actually processing them mentally or responding to them. I like to think that with summer winding down and our daughter almost back in school, it will get better. I promised to spend every Tuesday this summer with my daughter which also means that I have had almost one day a week "off" in order to make that happen. I am so very grateful to have been able to have this time with her!! It is a remarkable process to find the appropriate work-shop-home-life balance.

It is thanks to our growing Foxy Squirrel community that I am able to make time to be a mom, partner, daughter, sister, friend, and even an occasional student! I see you! I appreciate you! I could not do this without you!! Thank YOU!!

You will notice that August is packed with so many exceptional events!! The kits are almost entirely organized. Space is being created for them. Once this huge endeavor is completed, I am optimistic that things will begin to balance.

Somehow, I ended up with this particular handful of Fire Polish Beads in my literal hand. I struggled to look away. So. Dang. Gorgeous!! I decided to make a couple micro versions of the super-trendy Anthro necklaces. (I brought no clasp home, so I will share the final products when complete) Perhaps you find them inspiring, too. This week's Newsletter Subscriber special: 10% off FIRE POLISH, including True2s! Just mention the special to me at checkout. As always, discounts only apply to in-stock, regular-priced, & non-consignment items.

Thank you SO MUCH for reading — and, most especially, for Beading! xo, Diana

Fire Polish Beads aren’t produced in a single standardized palette — Czech Beadmakers are constantly releasing new colors, coatings, and specialty finishes, which means the Fire Polish universe is always growing. From velvety mattes to high‑shine metallics, AB washes, lusters, and multi‑tone blends, these beads exist in hundreds of varieties across sizes and shapes.
|
|
Their signature glow comes from a traditional Bohemian technique: after faceting, each bead is gently reheated until the edges soften into that smooth, glossy sparkle we all love. It’s old‑world craftsmanship meeting ever‑evolving creativity — no wonder Fire Polish Beads feel timeless and fresh at the same time.
