Bear looks like a big cuddly teddy bear. Pretty sure he wouldn't care what color is used as long as it appears black.
Willie is a maniac! I love those transparent points he makes, but he needs a girlfriend or something. LOL!
As long as you are loving what you're doing, it's all good. Just don't want you to burn yourself out on it. It's not work if you love it.

Bear supplies knapping rock. He is big bro and looks after me. Also biggest customer. Big heart. Willie just got custody of his baby girl, bad divorce over and needs to chip rocks continuously to ease his nerves. Me having a riot paid, nary a problem here. Ah, thinking of you gals. wife did pink camo w/some help granted. The others are mine. Proud of her camo. My stuff in this link, the smaller flowery ones are glass powder, first time. www.flickr.com/photos/67205364@N06/albums/72157670362834227 |

Bear sounds like a cool guy. Glad Willie has custody of his child.
Love that you love what you are doing. The passion shows.

Love the pink camo!
Looked at the flowery ones that you used the glass powder on. Looks awesome -- almost like an impressionist painting.
Glad you're having a blast! Rock (or glass) on!

The glass powder was a zero skill, just puffed it on and swished it around a bit. Easy to make something attractive with that stuff. Those colors gelled well on the pink camo, surprised considering the glass colors she had to work with. The grey and the pink opal is drab and near ugly by itself, but that burgundy transparent is an incredible color. They mated up prefect. She hit a homer on that one. |

I was thinking it would be fun to take a trip out to your place and we all could make our own glass melts
Being that isnt possible for us all
maybe we could give you our color choices and you melt them and name each one after us

I can make Purple Passion glass If you ever have some purple passion glass mixed with yellow-gold that is not knapping quality, send it my way. MN Viking color. Not for Vikings, but for Stevens Point College and HS. |

Not for Vikings, but for Stevens Point College and HS. My high school colors were (Viking) purple/yellowgold. Problem though, my opaque purple glass is not a representative purple. Was not well received for similar LSU colors. I need to try one of the transparent purples with opaque yellow. Or buy some US brand glass and it would be easy to do since there are so many shades to choose from. That will be a project for small tests Beth. I need to dial in a perfect purple/yellow combo. LSU has Tigers and tiger pattern is perfect, Viking pattern I am not sure and maybe a pattern is not so important. What is the mascot for Steven's Point ? |

A detached in-law suite y'all can have a slumber party over there he he. That way I can get my rest, doubt i could keep up w/this gang. Man that would be fun. Most of my buddy's don't get into my glass thing. I think Beth is purple/yellow. Think Alison is purple/yellow for the Vikings ? What about Robin ? Lay it on me and perhaps I can get something made. Especially if I get the large kiln up and going. Now that I have a little market going I can afford some US glass with more shades of color. I bought a sheet of COE 90 Wissmach red opal the other day. To see if it will melt with my import black shades. I fear I will run out of red eventually the way the knappers buy it. |

Actually any of these would work for me: Packer Green and Gold. Badger Red and White. Brewers Blue and Gold and the Purple and Gold for UWSP. Seems like most that glitters is Gold.

I don't have any specific colors, but if I was going to pick it would be the Blackhawks (huge hockey fan, here). Red, white and black.
ETA - A glass slumber party would be the ultimate awesome adventure! I fear we would get into a lot of trouble.  |

What a generous offer. Taking on the three of us, and probably more. Know that Ali and I can handle primitive accommodations. What about you, Robin? I see a car pool in our future, lol.
I have been to Atlanta once. Only a layover in airport.

Oh lord not a Hawks fan!  We would be trouble for James  Sorry, Ali. Been a Hawks fan since the day I was born. My dad took me to my first hockey game when I was 7. Had season tickets for a long time before the price went up so high I couldn't afford it anymore. The North Stars and the Hawks had a great rivalry. There was always a guy in the upper balcony who would hang a blow-up Dino the Dinosaur from the rafters when they played and Dino Ciccarelli was on the team.
I agree, we'd be big trouble for James.  |
