Today's edition of craters coast to coast has a jewelry maker/bead maker. Kinda neat - EXCEPT that she said using a fiberglass blanket will properly anneal the beads. Some cool designs though.
Now to finish my journey to Asheville to start the cleaning, sorting, purging, and storing.
Hi Jerri - I'm in Gainesville :)

Hi Kathy! Are you moving?
Gainesville? You weren't far away at all. Anytime you're that close, you have an open invitation for dinner. Come on by!
Thanks - but I would have been a bit late for dinner :) I flew into Atlanta and my flight didn't land until almost mid-night. The I needed to drive to Asheville -made it Gainsville and decided to stop for the night.
I'm in Ashveille now so I can start moving stuff into storage (my landlady has decided my cats can't move back into the Ashveille house so I'm not either).
I think I'm going to look for a place in east Tn - near the Smoky Mountain Nat'l Park.

I'm really wondering how long this show will last, at least in its present format. It's too ... goofy. JMHO.
I bet they tell the artist to behave in as silly a manner as possible; do you recall seeing *one* who hasn't? (Fortunately, or unfortunately, however you look at it, I could do this easily.) And that camerawork.. with all the crazy angles and movement...AAAAGH -- I feel seasick!
Yeah, I wondered about the fiberglass blanket --- and I don't even do glasswork!
I haven't yet been impressed with the polymer clay; everyone uses *plain white* and PAINTS it! With all the lovely colors that PC comes in, as well as all the possibilities with mixing, WHY do they paint it? Yuck!
Backing slowly off my soapbox, Sharon

I hope you find something soon. I would love living near the Smoky Mountains. I fell in love with them when I lived in Georgia and was in the Army.
when I drove through. It certainly is lush there! I can't believe your old landlady doesn't want the kitties to come back. Phooey on her.

Gotta Question? Search RCB:
Just saw it again today and you are right - Goofy!! Yesterday was the 1st I'd seen and I only caught the one segment so I thought maybe it was just the artist. I thought it was very strange when she was explaining her tools that she picked up a pair of split ring pliers and said something like - I don't know what these do/are, but I like them. Geez.
They had another lampworker today (boro) and she did have a kiln and made a cool pendant. She wasn't as silly.
That's just nuts about the poly clay.
I so love that area - and I know it already. I've left a message with a mortgage broker today and I have some recommended realtors.
Where were you stationed in GA?
Lush is right! And lush and water (creeks, rivers, etc) are what I'm missing the most while in AZ!
