Solved?
I’ve had an issue for years with one certain kind of bead. Transparent glass in a mold. I get strange, football-shaped bubbles right against the mandrel. I’ve spent years trying to figure it out, I have a thread on one of the lampwork communities that I started in 2006 about this issue. I had a [...]
Achoo!
I wish I had some new photos to share today, but I don’t. I am in bed, trying desperately to be well. Last Sunday (not yesterday, a week ago,) I started feeling not so healthy, and I still am not really sure I am climbing back out of it. Coughing, goo, huge sinus pressure…I am [...]
Metals!

All done!
I am VERY tired and it is bed time but Portland Open studios is over! Today was a great day, lots of visitors (even some repeats from last week, thanks for coming back!) The final beads from today are cooling down slowly, and I hope to have Saturday’s beads photographed and here on the blog [...]
