Red Set

This set of lentil shaped beads turned out better than I expected it to - the base is translucent mixed with various red clays... including red pearl. There is a surprising little sparkle to the beads!!

I was hoping they would be kind of a Christmas-y looking set. Don't know where to list them - Just Beads seems to be a bit slow at the moment... maybe ebay? I'll figure that out tomorrow!

Starfish Story
Once a man was walking along a beach.
The sun was shining and it was a beautiful day. Off in the distance he could see a person going back and forth between the surf's edge and and the beach. Back and forth this person went. As the man approached he could see that there were hundreds of starfish stranded on the sand as the result of the natural action of the tide.

The man was struck by the the apparent futility of the task. There were far too many starfish. Many of them were sure to perish. As he approached, the person continued the task of picking up starfish one by one and throwing them into the surf.

As he came up to the person he said, "You must be crazy. There are thousands of miles of beach covered with starfish. You can't possibly make a difference." The person looked at the man. He then stooped down and pick up one more starfish and threw it back into the ocean. He turned back to the man and said, "It sure made a difference to that one!"
