I had one of my most prolific days in the studio yesterday. I will be posting some of the new things later today here and as soon as my web master husband is ready to devote some of his day off to my website, I'll put some of the new things there. Somewhere in the course of the day, I grabbed what I thought was obsidian. But as I picked up these packages of beads, I was inspired to go outside, pour them in my hand and gaze at them in the sunlight. And viola! they turned out to be iolite. My hands couldn't bead fast enough. The beads almost jumped into my fingers to be placed on the memory wire. After reading about iolite this morning, it makes sense. For me, it is a guide. It is said to show you the path that you should be on. I was getting inspiration the whole time I was working with it. And I am glad I still have enough left to make myself something to keep...for a while.
