Thought you all would enjoy this since you got me started in lampworking.
On Saturday I was wearing a bracelet I made at a glass sculpture opening in Indy where my glass guild was giving lampworking demos. Whilst gawking at the sculpture, I stumbled down an oddly ramped section of concrete and ended up landing on my hands and knees. The largest glass bead (small marble size) on my bracelet swung under my hand and I landed on it, palm down.
Got that? Me, concrete, bead in-between the two -- SMASH!!
The bead is fine. My finger, however, broke.
Can I anneal or what? :)
I wonder if I'm the only person in the history of the world that has broken a bone on a bead?
