Well, the poor 'ol website has been a long time without much update. Things are very different nowdays. I've been doing much experimentation with glass color chemistry and furnace melting techniques.
I've been doing the furnace beads everyone is familiar with (deep clear over color) and some very different ones too. Most of those end up in the bead stores but someday I'll overcome the inertia and post 'em on here.
It's not very often that I do any lampwork these days, so all the lampwork and pendant sections are pretty much historical. I've got a few pics from '04/ '05 of batching glass and the furnace glass beads in process in links below.
The furnaces are up and running for the 07/08 holiday season.
