Finally !

Well, to those of you who try to follow this blog, Im back !

Its finally cool enough to melt glass again without copious amounts of sweat gushing about.

Temps have dropped down to high 80s and low 90s so we are able to tolerate some torch time.

Recently back from a gorgeous wedding trip to Michigan. Had a great time in the East Lansing area. Ate some of the best ribs ever ! Thanks Tom Hopper, the chef who prepared these amazing little creations ! A true feat of flameworking. A sugary crust over a peppery interior, grilled over flames ! It was a nice trip to cool off, and visit an old friend and celebrate his wedding.

Enough of that. Here are few of the many treats that awaited me this morning as the kiln was opened up.

I have to get going, need to try and work on the promised sets for prizes. There are two beads Im supposed to make as part of the last contest ! Im negligent in getting this done and owe two people some torch time with their ideas as my intended product.
