Greetings

[silverglass]

So glad I was pointed in this direction by a beloved person.
Made a post or two then saw the intro forum, so good manners means SAY HI!
Due to bizarre events and synchronicity, I do believe this is the lifestyle right for me now.
Very grateful already for info shared here.
I am a soft glass lampwork artist, hence the user ID.
Can't wait to mix oxygen & propane again and light my Nortel minor torch, then use over 50 lbs of Moretti glass rods I've hung on to for over a decade!

Welcome welcome. I hear you might have found a van

Thank you!
I may indeed, and figure I will have to steal a box of business cards to pass out whenever I get green eyed envious eyeballs on my ride!

Hello, and welcome!

I've never heard "soft glass" or glass rods, sounds really interesting, have any pics of what you do?

Well local galleries bought nearly all my work.
I make glass beads then turn them into goddesses, jewelry, bead pens, god anything.
Just Google lampworking and you will see what I do.
I've still got reams of beads but never needed pics since galleries took it immediately!
Maybe I need to let go of more and raise money for a van...

No, its called lampworking, using an oxygen/propane flame or MAPP gas canisters.
Made tons of beads and jewelry and sold straight to art galleries years ago.
But I've still got plenty left...guess I need to sell more now.
