DEPTH!!

Is “Depth” what matters?  We are taught that what we are on the inside means more than the outside.  We are taught that our character will take us further than our outward appearances.  We have read “The Ugly Duckling” as kids and have seen every other kind of book and/or movie like that!  I know that he turned into a beautiful swan on the outside BUT i feel it was the character building and trauma he went through that led to his “depth” of real beauty!  I am not sure they really got that story right since he did not remain broken from his outward appearance by perservering through it, just that he finally became a beautiful swan.  Soooo, in my ramblings I created a bead that is different on both sides and it has true beauty within, encased inside of a bright layer of crystal clear glass!  Enjoy!  I wore this to my daughters volleyball banquet the other night after i got it out of the kiln!  I had a lot of people stop me and say “Is that one that you made”?  and “wow, i did not think you were THAT good”, and i respond “Please child, never underestimate a woman who eats chocolate while torching”!!!! Ha ha ha!

 Oh, and you really need to see this in person because I STILL cannot capture some of the goings on in this bead, ugh!!!
