Why don’t you e-mail me a photo and I’ll get back to you on if it’s one I can still duplicate. Things are going well on the island. The usual crazy busy summer, but this year it seems to be going faster than ever. In 4 weeks our son Robin is getting married up here. Lot’s of planning and the countdown is on. In four weeks we’ll have a daughter!
I hope you and your family are all doing well.

I lost one from a pair of your earrings :-( My absolute favorite pair that I bought on the island several years ago. If I email you a photo, can you make me another one?

Hope all is well with you, Bruce and kids. We miss Maine terribly – haven’t visited in about 4 years. Lots of great memories!

I loved the lamp work class. It was so much fun. I would love to set up a glass torch of my own. I wish I could use the oxy/acetylene set up I already have for soldering, but…I understand acetylene is too hot and too dirty. The place in Rockland where I took the class has an open studio night on fridays, so I could use their torches and anneal my beads there for $10 an hour. It seems like a reasonable thing to try before investing much in my own system. But I could be hooked really easily!! It was a blast.
I’m glad the display idea worked out for you. Where can I see your work?

(I am Stevie Q’s friend)
Hi Barbara,
Stevie told me that you took a glass lampwork class. Did you love it?
I am having a great time with my torch! Taking another class on this Sun.
Your recent photos are so great!
By the way, I had my carpenter friend build a display like yours, for my last gallery show. It looked fab! (Thanks for the idea!)
Enjoy the torch! Jean Ramsey

I love your silver beads. I am also an avid beader myself and starting a sort of do it yourself beading (and other things) blog.

Thanks for all your kind words. The necklace image#1565 is one I made in August 2009, to provide a photograph of my work for an ad in Ornament magazine. Soon after, a friend of mine bought it for his wife. I have been making more of those silver clasps to use with some of my more recent silver and rock necklaces. One of the things I love about making these necklaces is that no two are alike. I usually make a batch of silver beads and just start pairing them with rocks I have already drilled. It can take me quite a while to find the combination I like. Right now I am low on silver beads and drilled rocks. (I am NOT low on undrilled rocks ha ha!) But, tomorrow is a fresh day in the studio.
