Cloud & Ky of VoodooRabbit were interviewed on Little Waltz:

"...let me assure you that these two Brisbane ladies are just fantastic! Absolutely great personalities, and I'm not even being bias because they are fellow EGL and EGA lovers! So sit back and get to know these two colourful personalities, and as a treat, we got both of them to answer the questions, not just one!..."

I am so sorry I'm late in posting this! It's been just one thing after another lately and I would have fallen out of my chair when I still saw this in my drafts but I sit on the floor. So not so much a fall as a slump.

Enjoy! xx ~Static

Clearance Sale!

Sale over at Perfidious Beadworks, big markdowns have been put in the "SALE" section and smaller markdowns are all over the place, pretty much in every section--I've dropped the prices a couple of bucks on quite a few things.

Need to make room for new stuff!

And I did post six new mourning pins, with more new designs to come.
