Hey! Whats up?
Working with glass as a medium is great fun and a challenge at the same time! I for one am still trying to get the rainbow of color in my silver and gold fuming of pendants!? I know its a possible and probable  finish to a great day of fuming! I have seen the finished product in a reletive few other glass artists and I would love to know how its done! Can anyone help me out here? I have been told it happens in the kiln if you know the correct setting and temp to set it at and for what duration? In the mean time I will keep experimenting and hope for the best. Maybe someone can suggest a book or video that I'm unaware of.  So, with that I wish you a great day and blessing of fantastic createing be yours today!Che-ow for now.......

Good Day All!
I wasn't expecting anyone to see my blog,let alone on the first day and I got three comments!
Thank You ! I feel properly welcomed! And it gave me a chance to read your blogs as well!
 Today I've been getting things in order fore applying to renew my passport. Did you know that they have you surrender your last or most recient passport to get your new one!? This leaves you without a passport for three to six weeks! I protested on the phone and as you might guess it made no differance. I wasn't planning to travel abroad in the next two months ,but you never know.......

Hey! I am not only a beginner to blogs but also to glass work! I have been a flameworker for 4 years and still learn new things all the time! Chemistry,art and optics!Fascinating!! I met some really great glass artists in Tucson in Feb of this year,thus I found the level of my expertise (beginner).Never the less some folks really like my form of art! To them I am greatful and promise I WILL GET BETTER! And Grotto Glass (me) will be selling @ The Wenatchee Valley Mall, The day after Thanksgiving through New Years Eve! In the old Eddie Bauer store.
