Lampwork Results - Finally!

You wouldn't think that it would take me a week to get back to a place that's only 25 minutes away - by DC standards that is "in the neighborhood" - but it's not in the same direction as any other typical Auld Bus stop, and this short week was exactly as all short weeks - ugly payback for the extra day added to last weekend.  Ugly is probably too strong a word, maybe.

ANYWAY...after the sleep deprived girls left Emma's birthday slumber party, after breakfast got cleaned up, after Pinewood Derby was complete (Michael got "Best in Show" for his den - he is sooooo excited), I left everyone taking restorative naps and headed south to the Workhouse Art Center to pick up my goodies.  The little brown beads are our "marker" beads since a couple of us were making beads at the same time and using the same kiln.  I need to clean them up and of course, I am dying to put one into a necklace of some sort to wear, in an oh so humble, Uh-Huh-I-Made-That, way.  There is so much more to learn, and I can't wait!

    Elisabeth-
    These are amazing first beads! I tried lampwork and NONE of mine were good enough to include in any jewelry. They are all misshapened and wonky. Good job!

    They are spectacular for a first timer! I heard that one makes a lot of floppy, crappy beads before one get to be this good! You must be a natural! Looking forward to seeing more...
