The tut is for a chocolate dipped strawberry glass bead – i made a pile of these (and other glass truffles) as favours for a wedding last spring and demoed this bead at the Glass Shoppe Studio last September.  It received very positive feedback both times so i thought it might make a fun bead design to share  as well.

Life is like a box of chocolates…

…and trying to take it all in.  I had a FABULOUS time and have so much information now whirling around in my head i need a few more days to let it all settle in. The one thing i can say is i now completely understand why other beadmakers get so excited about going every year – it was [...]

We showed up, set up a little display area and then Grace (the Glass Shoppe Studio owner) introduced me to the group.  There was a good range of skills in  the crowd – from people who’d never heard of lampworking and beginners who had just finished class a bit earlier to experienced lampworkers.  I’d brought an example of [...]

I’m still full of ideas and experimenting at the torch… and still no explanation for these beads except this is what’s currently coming out of my head:  gothic and cartoon hearts, and playing with the effects that can be created  from boutique silver glass.  The pregnant goddesses are for a custom order.  I’m having fun though!
