Where in the world is Carmen San Diego? Or, better yet...

...what the heck have I been up to that I've neglected my blog for so long? Totally unacceptable!

Coming soon!
  1. A view from my shop window: pics of my corner-of-the-garage studio
  2. Ventilation 101
  3. Mandrel, what's that?
  4. What's a glass rod?
  5. How did that rod of glass turn into that?
  6. What's next?

What would you like to see? Let me know!

Winter update: to bead, or not to bead....

Wow, it's finally warmed up to where it doesn't freeze the skin off your face when you go outside. Yikes!

The cold definately makes it hard for me to create beads. So I've had to stick to making jewelry, which is fun, but not as much fun as melting glass and creating minature works of art. Well, hopefully they're artful.

Melted glass gives off dangerous fumes, and I do not have ventalation, yet. We've bought supplies to make a fume hood. The fan is here. And we're ready to go. Hopefully I can get the hood made before my husband has to leave town.

I'll definately have to take before and after pictures. I'm not very good at thinking of that stuff until after I'm done. Then I say, doh, shoulda coulda woulda. But it's too late.

More updates soon. Stay warm!
