I am happy to report that I've finally got the OttLite situation sorted out. It turned out that the replacement bulb I rushed out to buy at Home Despot was not an appropriate bulb for an OttLite. Now that I have the right bulb - VOILA!
We have light. And it turns out, I can get a fairly decent picture on the fly.
I said fairly decent. Observe, the new technique I learned today, perfect for rings! Sadly, it means I need to beef up my stock of size 8 beads, as I only have a few. I did put together this combo, to learn the technique. Needs a little work, but not bad!
It would make a nice bracelet, too.
Today was actually quite productive. I finished a bracelet.
I made a special order ring.
I made the new style ring, and I started something that could be a ring or a bracelet. I haven't decided yet. What do you think?
It was a good day. I even worked in the garden, and took care of a few other errands!
