Here is Shaun.  He did all the tile work and is finishing up the last of it.  What a great job!

Almost Done!

Well, yesterday I wrote up the whole story of the possessed toilet and went to post it and POOF!  It disappeared.  Sigh.....  Why Me?  You know, it's been such a rough remodel that my wine now starts rattling the second I walk into the bathroom.  :D

BUT!  Good news!  All possessions appear to have given up the ghost.  Pun intended.  :)  Shaun is in there, right this second, industriously grouting his little heart out.  Want a sneak preview?

It's going to be gorgeous!  See where I took off an old handle?  I still have to reshine the cabinets and install the new hardware.  What fun!

I do believe all the traumas will have been worth it.  :D

I took a picture of Shaun.  I have to download it.  :)

Faux Cinnabar

9 comments
Don't you just love cinnabar?  That toxic mercury laden gorgeous stuff?  Well, thank God for polymer clay and it's ability to mimic just about anything.  I have been messing with faux cinnabar.  Here are some pictures of things I made.  Rats, I have another cool focal but I don't seem to have a picture.  Sigh.....  I guess I better go take one as all the cinnabar stuff is going into my shops for sale.  Well, not the pen.  That's going to Russell.  :D

The pen is for my good pal in Buffalo.  I'm overjoyed at how it came out.  And thrilled with the beads, too!  What do you think?  And isn't this fat "cigar" pen JUST the thing for men?  I love it!

WOW!  THREE posts in one day!  Must be some kind of record for me.  I have been making beads and cool clasps to sell.  Here are a couple pictures.  Thanks for looking!
