I've recently retired and moved to Atlanta where I am enjoying my new glass and metal studio. I've been taking metal working classes at Chastain Arts Center and lampwork beadmaking at Spruill Center for the Arts. I'll be sharing what I've learned as well as discoveries of my own on this blog.

Then add thin stringers of intense black randomly on the dark ivory. Put the bead in the hot part of the flame and watch for the lines of intense black to break up and spread out on the surface of the bead, creating a lacy effect. Here are some of the beads I've made:
