There's a new CGBeadroller up!!! BR-158 Bead Lip Wrap. This one is a bit unusual - it doesn't make a bead, instead it refines a 'lip wrap' that's added to the ends of a bead. A while back someone asked if I would make a bicone with a lip on each end, so I put the idea on the drawing board. After thinking about this for a looooong time, I finally wrapped (pun intended) my head around how to go a step further. By making the cavities for just the lip wrap, you can choose the shape of bead 'you' want, not the shape I've chosen for you. Bicone, oval, round, lentil, cube, etc. Two matching cavities on each row also allows you to shape the wraps on both sides of the bead without having to flip the tool to accommodate.

I'm back from the Tucson show, had a great time connecting with some new fellow vendors, did great in the booth, it was a win/win week. Big day of shipping now.

Now for the sad part of my week, our latest cat Fred is missing. He & I have become pretty attached the past year and I'm guessing he went looking for me. He will be the 4th cat in a year and a half that either went missing or I've had to put to sleep. I've never had a 'typical cat' cat before and I'm pretty devastated. Last night, I spent 2 hours walking around town after the city noise was quiet, shaking his treat can. Well, that was actually the third time I walked around looking for him. A couple of weeks ago he brought home a full grown rabbit, so even if he doesn't find a new home I know he'll be ok, but I'm gonna keep looking for him in the dead of the night when he can hear me rattle his treat can. Fortunately our city pound was shut down a few years ago, it was a 'kill' pound and they accidentally put some dogs to sleep while the owners were out of town. Now animal control contracts out to a 'no-kill' shelter, which I've already been to and left my info. Say a prayer for my Fred.

	1/16/2015 It's the 5th Anniversary of the CGBeadroller! and there's a new sampler to celebrate. To date, I've shipped to all 50 states and over 35 countries, and am grateful for the wonderful reception the lampwork community has had for these tools.
In July, I was honored to teach a class at the Gathering in Houston, and I made a special sampler for the class. Each anniversary I introduce a new sampler, this year it's the Class Sampler from the Gathering. Through January 29th: 1) The 5th Anniversary 'Class Sampler' will be $50 ($15 off the sampler price of $65) 2) The other 4 samplers will be on sale for $55 ($10 off the sampler price)
