I am planning a fundraiser around Labor Day to support our legislative push to legalize home birth with Certified Professional Midwives in Alabama. (Yes it is still illegal here) I have been looking for fertility goddess pendants to sell. We expect a pile of birth advocates to come to the event and I know they would LOVE these pendants. Thanks so much Dalia Abrams Childbirth Educator, Breastfeeding counselor These are wonderful!!!!

WOW what a wonderfu looking studio! So organized! I do not do lampworking as of yet but hopeful in future, but do use other artists beads. I have a HotShot top loader i use for fusing. I have a batch of lampworked beads to anneal. I am not sure of the COE of glass that was used to make, but want to be sure these beads are safe to use in jewelry pieces. Could you give me a typical anneal schedule....I understand the process, but was concerned re: putting beads into kiln and slowly increasing to a safe round about anneal temp for all COE's , then a short soak, and shut off to room temp.....Would this work....I am not one to open my kiln stupidly and try to place beads in at my top temp. :) I would appreciate your input. As per a safe top temp. I would think not above 970 deg F and also concerned over slow ramp up temp. I would assume it is similiar to fusing depending on size of beads.....my largest bead is about a 3mmx2mm the rest are smaller....I would greatly be appreciative of your response and knowlege I will check back thank you very much cathyK going on further to check out your site Hi,
