Parting Ways on Valentine's Day...

Yes, I'm letting my darling go. My darling bead, that is. (What, you thought I was breaking up with my boyfriend? You must be nuts....) This is a bead that I've hung onto for ages, I love her so much. I'm praying that someone who loves lampwork and will treasure her will purchase her. The alternative is to toss her into the ocean so that someone can pick her up off a stormy beach in 2,000 years....




I kind of want to look like this when I'm old. And if I don't stay away from the wine and chocolates, I probably will, but without the dichroic flash :-)
