Taking a Class

Saturday I am taking a class at Franz Art Glass studio on working with "Silvered" glass.I'm so excited! I just found out the famous Lampwork artist Corina Tettinger is going to be taking the same class!!!I can't wait to meet her.If you're not familiar with her work, she has written several books,one of which is considered the Lampworker's "bible" called Passing the Flame.Here's a link to her website:

I've been making lots of new eye candy! Here's a few photos for you to enjoy.

Tuesday's Tip

Well,I'm a little late getting Tuesday's tip on,but I had a great day with my niece doing lunch and shopping!
I'd like to talk about a great Free online course from Cornell University about the Principles of Design:balance,proportion,rhythm,emphasis and unity.She also covers the Elements of Design: line,form,movement,color,texture and pattern.So,get your favorite beverage and a notebook and have a look.You can skip through alot that doesn't pertain to jewelry making too.Here's the link:
