Blogs, Lampwork, Beads, Glass, Dichroic, Jewelry, Life: "Sorry that I haven't been keeping up to date; but I have just been so busy with work and with life.
I went to Disneyland for four days the beginning of February when I went down to see my fibromyalgia doctor Dr. St. Amand. What a journey. I hadn't been there since high school - quite some time ago.
The ceramic beads turned out great and got out in a timely fashion and so it was back to lampworking and getting all of those great lampwork beads ready for my designers. What an inspiration!
I also gave a great lampwork class to a very enthusiastic student. Private lessons are surely the way to go for all.

Sanding Clay Cross Beads
Blogs, Lampwork, Beads, Glass, Dichroic, Jewelry, Life: "Have been working steadily on the beads. After the beads dry to a leather hard stage, I then put on the design. It takes a lot of time carving and imprinting the crosses on the beads.
Then, as the individual beads dry I am sanding them to further round the corners as Michelle wanted and to smooth the surface. Kind of reminds me about how hopefully our rough edges get smoothed in the daily ness of life. "

Clay Cross Beads and the Church of Saint John of Rochester
Blogs, Lampwork, Beads, Glass, Dichroic, Jewelry, Life: "I just added another page to show the progression of the clay cross beads that I am making for the Church of Saint John of Rochester. New pictures will be posted as the project progresses. Click here for the clay cross bead page.
I want to thank Michelle and everyone else connected for the privilege of being able to create this for them. It has been a wonderful peaceful meditation upon the church and what it has meant in my life. I look at the beads awaiting further work and think of these as representations of our growing and changing - always ready for further refining or as I look at them as a whole I think of building blocks, all so individual yet so necessary to the whole. Anyhow, enough reminiscing for now."

Pit Fired Clay Beads, Lampwork and Fusin
Blogs, Lampwork, Beads, Glass, Dichroic, Jewelry, Life: "Just finished an order with a jewelry designer. Beautiful, even if I do say so myself.
Now I am working on an order of clay beads for a church along with a couple of glass orders. I just love this business. There are so many interesting directions that it takes me.
Hope everything is going great for y'all. Take care and enjoy your weekend."

Fun, Work, Disneyland and Fibromyalgia
Blogs, Lampwork, Beads, Glass, Dichroic, Jewelry, Life: "Time just passes so fast. I am still busy with orders. Thank you. Thank you.
Lots of fun new ideas in the make and some great variations on some of the old. What a time. I love the new colors that I have been working with and I can't wait to share them with you.
Has anybody been to Disneyland lately? I am thinking of going there for my birthday in a couple of weeks if the weather is nice. Any suggestions on the best place to stay? I have to go to Marina del Rey anyhow to see my fibromyalgia doctor Dr. St. Amand."
