                                       Lampworkers Tips & Tricks 
 
Arrow Springs sells a 6 in 1 graphite round bead mold. I found that it is a very useful tool in determining consistent sizes of beads. I choose a size that I want to start my beads, from the six sizes, and then start my bead with my original base color measured in a chosen size in the bead mold. From there when you decorate the original piece it comes out very close to each bead with the same design. It is especially helpful when you want to make mulitple items all the same size or when preparing to use any of the bead presses.
 
I just hooked up my new Belson Gold n Hot Ceramic Oven to heat my glass rods before putting them into the flame. I cannot tell you what a difference this tiny little appliance has made in my work..!!!! First of all, my background is boro, and I'm used to working fast..and hot. As we all know, you can't work cold soft glass rods the way you do with boro. Well, even after all these years of working soft glass, I still try to work fast and end up getting stung with a flying piece of glass. This tiny little appliance has eliminated that completely..!!! My only problem now is switching out my colors to make room in that oven for more rods. Hmmmm.....
it looks like I "might" be adding another one in the near future. Any questions about this jewel of a tool.....give me a hollar.
 

  Some of of my favorite quotes.....
 
Live your life in such a way that when your feet hit the floor in the morning, Satan shudders & says.........'Oh shit...she's awake!!!

 
 
Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.  ~Henry David Thoreau~

My heart is broken and I don't know where to begin. I wish I could go back 2 weeks ago and make another choice. I wouldn't have trusted the pet sitter I left you with, and you would be here on my shoulder right now. You were my bundle of joy and I can only hope that when this horrible grief subsides, I will be able to smile again when I think of you. I miss that you aren't with me right now as I type, you were always with me at the computer. Monet is looking for you, and I am hoping you will visit us both in our dreams. I will see you again someday, my little "TC" and until that day comes......rest in peace baby girl.
Love you Always.....Mama
