Bead Fest Philadelphia Weekend!!!

Here we come!!!

Marsha Neal Studio Booth #806
(Back left corner on main upper floor of show)

Ok, I'm on my way out the door to get setup today...
So just a quick blog post to show you some of the goodies that should be in my booth...

Chocolate & Porcelain Shards above...
Just out of the kiln last night!

Above is some detail of some of the Chocolate Shards with my "glacier" glaze color...

On Porcelain clay, this color is an icy, turquoise blue (see bottom right of picture below)
Below are some of my more satin glazes: Tangarine, *New - yet to be named greenish one, Ruby, and one of my oldest glazes... Autumn...

I've been wanting to get back into doing more drawings instead of using clip art for my decal pieces. This Butterfly fluttered out onto the paper late Tuesday night when I was trying to fall asleep.


So Yesterday I worked on getting her put into the computer, cleaned up, resized and then printed out onto the decal paper. Then last night I spent hours getting all these done in hopes of having just 1 more firing done before Bead Fest...

So we'll see tonight if any of these made it...
Fingers crossed...

And now some cute pictures of Chloe...
I'm going to miss seeing her this weekend, but she and Dave will have a great time spending some one-on-one time together...
Wonder what they will get into?


Very cute picture above...
Followed by mommy saying...
"Ewwww... Don't Lick The Bubble!!!! No, Yucky, Dirty!!!"
Then laughing.... because this kid puts her tongue on EVERYTHING!


We were filling bird feeders and spreading some seed on the ground for the mourning doves...
She has hot sticky hands like any kid running around in the summer which the seed stuck to...
Which meant a break for mommy while she sat and picked each little one off...

I hope to see you at Bead Fest!
My 19 week baby bump is starting to show a bit and I'm at the point of having to squat to pick things up... no more bending over easily for me with this huge "liquid and baby filled thing" in my belly...
And no, I don't mind people rubbing or softly patting my baby belly and sending good vibes to the new little one... Chloe got it a lot at Bead Fest 2007 when she was in my belly...
