Haven't Burned Myself Good in a Long Time...

True. I haven't had any torch accidents in awhile, whether it be sticking my thumb right in the flame or having those nasty little pieces of glass fly off and land in bad places. Monday, well, the wheel came loose and I and toppled off my wagon.

First I was pulling a piece of frit off the side of my bead using a pair of pliers and the stupid thing flew into my HAIR! Can you believe it? I couldn't. I've never had any glass fly into my hair before. So it's on the top of my head and I reach up to find it and try to brush it away. I can smell my hair burning, The little sucker is hot (of course) so I'm burning my fingers trying to get it off me, all the while keeping my bead warm in the flame using my other hand. (Can't give up that bead, now, can we?)

I must have brushed it away. The lady sitting next to me checked and couldn't see the glass on my head anymore. All night long I kept feeling where it landed. I was sure I could feel a hole in my hair. All is well though. No noticeable gaps!

So then, the next bead I was making my white rod shocks when I start to heat it up and a flake of it flies at me and hits me in the neck! Now that one stung for quite awhile. So I guess two hits in one night I should be good for awhile now, right?

Here is what I was working on:

Productivity, I Know You Are Here Somewhere!

Glass studio was productive:

At home I've been working on the other torch, preparing three entries for a show. The registration is due tomorrow. I just need to write up a statement about my work and I will be ready to send it in. 

I've also been working on some copper pieces. Here's a little preview:

And then there is my weird one. This reminds me of the GMO's I've been seing in videos lately (Genetically Modified Organisms). It still needs work.

I Am So In AWE!!

This lady's work is AMAZING and SOOO     BEAUTIFUL!

Sorry the site is in Russian and I can't translate what the message is when I try to load some of the pictures on here. I assume it is probably something about copyright. I'm not able to load any here, but you really must see her work for yourself!

It looks so easy! I really like the idea of making your own stamps out of porcelain!
