I Have a Studio!!

I have a studio again... and I am back at the torch full time. The studio was worth the wait- the light is perfect, the size is perfect and I am taking time to set everything up so that the work areas flow. But the first thing was to get the bead making area operational. It's a little cool what with all this New England snow and cold-- so I just have to pay attention to not letting the beads get too far from the flame for too long. I'm working on several sets simultaneously and they should all be ready to post on the website and on Ebay or Just Beads auction sites by early next week. The only time I took off from bead making was on Sunday to watch the Patriots make it to the Superbowl for the third time in four years!!! What a year....

OOOhhh so close...

The great studio project is OOOhhh so close to being finished. It truly seems like it has taken forever, and I am in major lampworking withdrawl. Ric finished the wall construction and hung the door last week, so now the ball is in my court for the finish work: mudding, sanding and painting. Even with a minor setback due to the Flu, I should be at the bench in about a week.
