Thanks Shawn! It was a great opening with a nice turnout -- I had four cases full of glass, two cases completely sold out, and I sold one bowl and 3 mixed media canvases already!

Thanks Ricky! It was so much fun and I am still on a high from it. I thought I would have this big letdown, but I have been even more motivated to melt glass. Worked 6 hours today and made a bunch of stuff!!

LOL, now that would be fun! I was hoping to wear it at Burning Man one year, so I put a ridiculous price on it so it won't sell. Maybe I will have a pic up one day, who knows?

It is actually wearable and it was interesting at the show how many people made comments about them wearing it, (men and women) so I liked that it created a little fantasy.

I didn't count them but I got really tired of making them, LOL. I'm sure there are at least 100 . . .

The custom crochet work was done by Gwen Reichert of Fibrevolution and then I tied all the leaves to the base.

Thank you Sandy and Aimee!

Red face Some more stuff from me.....

Everyone's work is so great! I love the diversity of form, color, style......so much artistic genius in one place! Lampworkers ROCK!

Here is my first post-worthy attempt at a "Mr. Smiley" style heart made with Momka's American Beauty, Magic Mirror and NS Caramel. Also another glass pony......I'm on a Fuchsia Fantasy and Magic Mirror kick with these at the moment.......



Oops.....please pardon the horse hair on the backdrop.......hehehehe!

Don't ask me how.......it's top secret!!!! (wink, wink!)

OKAY! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! I'll spill it! All I can say for sure is I don't change my flame from high oxy. However, I can say that I don't get that effect if I work it too long.......I usually get the silver color range from yellow to salmony pink depending on heat and time exposed to flame (can get 2 or 3 different colors in one stinger) then the silver sheen comes out to play when the cool stinger is applied as a raised surface decoration. After that, I try to heat quick, get out of there, and leave it alone. The longer I try to hang out and play, the more cloudiness it gives me and then goes all baby poop on me! ARGH! So that's my secret and I'm stickin' to it!!!!

P.S. The silver sheen is even more dramatic in person than it is in these "high quality" professional looking photos!
