Thanks, guys!
It's wonderful to offer, I'm just trying to get people more aware of the fact that there are lampworkers out here across that big salty watery thing.
No, I don't mean Lake Michigan!
I'd love to know more about the cool stuff that is pretty much everyday knowledge in the US, I might have to make a big list of cool things and where they can be found, but it won't help if the maker won't ship to us direct, yanno? I can't always ask for the kindness of glassy folk.

Great tip Shawnette! Also, great pic of your children. Your older son actually looks happy in this one

man clam
Xinh's Seafood Resturant serves this style of clam in many manners including; sauteed, fried, civiche and they are all great. My favorite is civiche. If you ever get to Pike's Market in Seattle, the sellers will make fun of this clam! It does remind me of a horses's tail.

I bet you could make a murrini tool by hammering some nails in a chunk of wood. Cut off the head of the nails. I may have to try that.
I learned that "fake" murrini in Dustin Tabor's class. It's cool and sometimes looks like an eyeball.

Yep. I made one of those about four years ago. It worked pretty good, too. I prefer using the inside of hotfingers now, but it's better if they have more than four "fingers".

Scroll down.
I used to live in Washington State, in Bremerton, along Kitsap Way right below Eldorado Hills - (if that is what they call it still) about 23 years Ago. We used to go to the bay all the time and dig these suckers up... My dad (mostly) would be the one actually DIGGING...as we were kids and not quite fast enough to get them dug up LOL. Personally, I was scared to death of them as a kid bwahahahaha
 (gross looking, hmmm?) LOL

There are a lot of non-US lampworkers out there, but we get virtually nothing of the interesting tools or glass that is easily available to US artists.
Yes, it's a bit of a crab about the situation.

If I'm thinking of the same technique I saw a suggestion to improvise by using a small kitchen wisk that has the end cut off. Squish the glass in and pull it out with the indents from the wire.
Might help someone wanting to try without investing a lot. (Or not.  )

I learned this from Kate Drew-Wilkinson as well.
If you do not want the collapsed look, just at a small dot of clear. You can get different results depending on the direction you marver it.

gosh, i never have time to come out to the forums anymore. i just saw this thread (i was looking through tutorials for inspiration). yep, i was asked to demo my "bronze age" bead at glass stock quite awhile ago, so that's where corina and several other folks saw this technique. i, too, learned it from kate drew-wilkinson during open torch at the sgb gathering in oakland back in 2000. i had been making beads for 4 months when i went to that gathering, and was overwhelmed - but i did take away some great info. i use these in a lot of my beads, and when kim affleck and i did a collaboration at glass stock, i put some of these on the hearts that kim made. here's a (lousy) picture of one of our collab beads. i don't twist the cane as i pull it - on this heart, i twisted the murrini after i placed them on the bead and flattened them.
