All's quiet today...
I forgot to mention that I'm 'teaching' a class at BlueMoon (our local stainedglass/lampwork shop that is right down the street from me, and where I love to hang out) tonight...
the 'class' is all about the Corina and Zoozii (Amy) bead presses...I'm not so much teaching as I am demonstrating and assisting - the folks in class will then be on their own to press beads using all my different tools. I have nearly all of the tools that both chicks sell (um, yes I just said that), but you know - I've never used all of them...So while I'm no 'expert', I do have enough of an idea of how to apply the glass, how much is too much or not enough, how to remove or add glass, how to reheat and press, etc...Some of the stamps are harder (pill box, anyone?) than others (lentil - my fave)...
The plan is for all 8 students to use my own stamps, and then they can buy stamps and take them home - how cool is this - I wrote to Corina/Catt (the manufacturer) and Amy telling them that we were offering this class and both of them sent 1ea of their stamps! So hopefully the 8 students can find 8 different stamps they like and everyone can take one home...Plus we've asked students to bring any stamps they've already purchased and are having trouble with...the more the merrier...I think this will be a fun and low key night of just playing and enjoying the tools...at least that's what I'm going to yell at them before we get underway..heh...
Nothing new to offer...am working on stuff, tho...I got a great idea in the shower this morning and want to get after it...If something interesting comes to mind, I'll be back to post...

Hey Donna,
Wish I was there to hang out at Blue Moon with you tonight. I bought some of that Raku frit from Val and am waiting for it to arrive in my mailbox. Can't wait to give it a try. Hope you have fun in class.....Tara
