Wow...that's amazing!.

That is interesting. I'd be a bit concerned about annealing but I guess the pieces are small enough that she could get away without it. I wonder about the ones she makes in -10F during the winter though. They've got to have a lot of stress from cooling so quickly.

Now if I could figure a way to power a glass furnace like this? I'm gonna need a bigger magnifying glass....

I know these guys!

I'm in Denver (Littleton) and Shaun and Tawny owned a laundramat in the same center
as my tanning salon. They moved to MN about 10 months before I closed the salon.
I have a pair of her earrings in green. What an amazing pair they were.

Shaun built a bike with a motor on it so he wouldn't have to ride the bus. They
are very 'green' people.
