I got out some of these:
Turned on this:
And made some glass beads for the first time in almost a year. It took me 90 minutes to make just 4 beads and my technique is rusty at best.
But now that I have a permanent work space I'm hoping to start turning out more pretties on a regular basis and also to get on with making some reproductions of period beads for our reenacting.

Heeee! I love these beads. Looking forward to seeing them roll out. :)
I wish *I* had a proper craft space. *sigh* maybe in our next house.
Wow! You are so clever! And worthy of respect especially since you're the one with the blow torch in hand ;P
I'd love it if sometime you could describe just how you made those. I can't imagine being able to make something like that out of GLASS, but they're beautiful. I'm in total awe of your creativity Mim!

Excellent Mim, a place just for you. I guess we watch this space, for the results of your creativity!
I like the beads very much, and although I already have a high opinion of you and your many activities, my respect just sky-rocketed when I saw that blowtorch. As junior would say, 'that is the coolest thing evah'.
The blow torch does rather fill me with unholy glee :-)
Maybe I'll get someone to video me making a bead sometime.
What an incredible skill to have. They are beautiful.
