Re: Another step for Mike...

Three year old wine, three year old car....

I have a five year old already, thanks!

We're genuinely hoping that he'll be putting together some beads for sale in the next weeks. We're aware that he's starting out but everyone starts out somewhere.

He has started out on the right foot. I like those beads. The colors are good, the shape is pleasing... oh good.. another up and coming lampworker I'll end up drooling over and waxing poetic about. :-) Diana

Any time but tomorrow. We're having a cleanup and Mike's catching up on some DIY that he's promised for ages. Otherwise, we're 'at home' all week.

-Su

Thanks! I think he's really finding his 'style' now too. It's been difficult to not just order him to produce what I want but I'm patient. Oh yessss. I'm patient.

-Su

Thanks! He's a perfectionist and wants to be sure he's consistent with his work before he starts offering anything for sale.

On the other hand, I'm easy and hope to put some stuff up for auction in the next few weeks. I'm looking very much forward to having my first AD: post on the group.

I owe it all to the generous hearts of the people here, I would not have even thought to try my hand at jewelry again, or to encourage Mike to try lampwork. We're both very grateful to everyone here.

This group is probably the best motivator I've ever had to get my butt in gear and make beads. I'm glad it works that way for you, too!

Thanks. Won't be long, I'm being patient but eventually he's going to have to let go of some of those beads. Then it's MY turn, I can make some jewelry to put up for sale. :-D

I'm ordering some glass today to bribe him!
