What’s a New Year without making something new? That is why i’m in the middle of a site resdesign, for this blog as well as the website. I have also opened an ETSY store ( nkpdesigns.etsy.com ) and have not as of yet listed anything, but I plan to in the next day or so. […]

These sunny green apple beads came out of the kiln yesterday. Apple green is one of my favorite colors.
