I would just like to add that without the support of groups like AJE and people like yourselves within the beading community that are so willing to support and share, I wouldn't have achieved a fraction of this or be half as inspired to try new things. So thank you, I am in your debt.Lesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16974728482917154566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7271508841165439447.post-32570630156449635292012-12-19T14:43:37.364-05:002012-12-19T14:43:37.364-05:00So very talented and so beautiful!

LOL! And for what it's worth, I think working with mandrels with torch firing enamel beads is more difficult that what we lampworkers do because the bead isn't stationary. It took me a while to get used to the fact the bead could move around. Because if you are working with molten glass and the bead release breaks, you're done with that bead. Its ability to move around is a dangerous situation. My goals for the new year? I'm not sure yet. I've been pondering that a lot this week though.

Can't wait to see where you go with them. My own goals are simple. I'm going on a retreat in January to get more familiar with copper clay. While I love working with the bronze, it is so unpredictable for me.,...also want to do something with polymer clay. I also want to incorporate more of my spirituality into my work.

I am like you in that I take all these workshops and classes and then amass a pretty stash and I come home with the entire kit and kaboodle ready to take on the world! But then reality strikes and I realize I have neither the time nor the space to make it happen. I would love to set up an enameling studio in my home someplace. The garage is a tad chilly in the winter! So it might be a summer project for me. <br /><br />I want to get my studio in order. I want to use up the stash of art beads that is setting up permanent shrine in my house! I want to focus on taking my components in a direction like you have, making more, pushing limits, challenging myself. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing your beauty with the world and for inspiring us all! <br />Enjoy the day.<br />ErinTesoriTrovatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12771359288546654791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7271508841165439447.post-7266677257953875422012-12-18T11:55:52.332-05:002012-12-18T11:55:52.332-05:00Thank you Ms. Lesley, you have given me some good ...Thank you Ms. Lesley, you have given me some good things to think on.

I cannot wait to see what you come up with! The patinas on the ancient pieces in the photos are eye-catching for sure! Since taking classes at ART BLISS in September, I have revisited my "jewelry" as well and have signed up for some intense soldering class in February. I have no idea where it will take me - but I am ready, willing, and able to go there! Merry Christmas to you!
