I'm DREAMING and trying to figure out HOW to be a lampworker...do I qualify? :)

What defines a newbie, Starlia? :)

I am... just took a class last fall, and got my setup going in March. Is that new enough? :-) Goodness knows the stuff I'm making looks like it! :-)

Good question. It's someone that has the setup or one on order. They can be lampworking for up to 4 months.

Does that help qualify anyone?

I am. Lampworking for about 1 month. Newbie at this newsgroup too though I was reading it in 1997-98.

Welcome Lise!

I love your name, which is similar to my mother's name. Stick around and tell us about yourself, and share pictures of your lampwork. We're a very friendly audience, and we can offer suggestions to help you improve very quickly. That's not because we're so kind - it's because we love having lots of pretty lampwork beds to choose from!

My newsgroups are apparently not reaching the outside world again, so I apologize if this ends up coming out twice.

I got my setup in March. Goodness knows my stuff *looks* newbie. :-) Does that qualify?

LOL!! Thank you for the welcome Kathy! I posted a short intro, I think we were typing at the same time.

Lise

I guess a small intro is in order. My earlier message was under the name of my husband so now the heading will be my own.

I used to be a beader, dreamed about lampworking for a long time before attempting it. Bought my glass and bead release in 2001 and finally got to begin in March 2004. I love it and buying a kiln is in my plans, probably around September. In my everyday life I am a pattern designer ( sewing-quilting-beadwork ) and I collaborate to a french craft magazine. Twice my little beading pattern were published in Beadwork magazine too.

Good day Patch-Denise

Okay Lise it looks like it's a go for you. Please email me your address and I'll send you a goody. My email is sklopman at cox-internet dot com.

Starlia

It does, but I only have one goody to give away right now. However, keep posted and you never know what I'll do next.

Hi Denise and welcome. Your job sounds really cool.

Sure is!! Half day in my studio and half on the computer. What else a girl could ask for?

Welcome, Denise,

Sounds like you've got some interesting experience. And now you're making beads too. Do you have a link to the patterns you designed? And do you have a website?

Tina

Thanks for the welcome Sooz, Beth and Christina. I don't have a web site anymore...but thinking about making one. Just need a few more hours in a day. Will try to post pictures on a yahoo album or something so you can see.
