Flame worked glass beads for my daughters

[Bob in SF]

They enjoy beading and incorporating beads into their handmade knitwear.

I enjoy flame working glass on crispy Fall days (oxypropane torch, didymium eyeglasses, a little music in the headphones, slow-turned on a mandrel, annealed in the kiln overnight - you get the picture):

Happy Friday to all - Bob

Thanks for looks and likes!

Charlie - I'll look for a skew that operates smoothly at 20-30 rpm and tolerates 2500 degrees Fahenheit - will try (almost) anything once.

Have a fine weekend - Bob

Heartfelt thanks for kind words, Lewis!
