So many great suggestions from everyone to help name my new glaze. Lots of ideas surrounding the ocean/water/sea and a few that I might have to tuck away for my next glossy blue green glaze (if I use your idea you'll still be rewarded!). For some reason I want watery named glazes to be shiny, I think that's why I was having so much trouble naming it. So without further ado... Congratulations Marie, I'm going with Spruce! Email me with your mailing address and this Spruce Abstract Butterfly Square is headed your way: 
In other news, I'm a little frustrated today...I had sent in some jewelry projects to a magazine and had been told that they were chosen for an upcoming issue. Well, today I checked the mail and there's a package with my items returned and a letter saying that they decided not to use them after all. I realize that that's the nature of the beast but I'm so disappointed! They really held on to them for quite a while so I've missed some chances to submit to other publications but I think there are a few deadlines coming up that I might still be able to make.
Oh well, shake it off and move on! I made a bunch of beads for a custom order and just like last time, a bunch of them decided to stick to the firing wires (5 stars and 2 leaves). So, for the next giveaway I have a handful of these little guys with holes that are unusable (filled with wire). I'll send them off to the person who gives me the best planned use for them! Leave your ideas on this post, you have until Friday...
