Tammy and The Bead

My Beautiful Sister-in-Law, Tammy, has been learning how to make lampwork beads - those are handmade glass beads. Am I ever happy about that! I am lucky enough to occasionally get one for a special occasion. Hooray for Tammy - keep it up!

She goes to a studio in downtown Indy - can't recall the name of it right now, though. It is a large studio and well equipped. This is a picture of the torch stations around a wonderfully large brushed aluminum table with excellent lighting overhead. I visited during a 'First Friday' studio tour and the beads in the foreground are made by the owner of the studio and are for sale.

Meanwhile, that is Tammy in the very middle!


A bead Tammy was working on at the time we visited:


Now she is putting 'stringer' (aka more glass) on it:


With any luck she will send a picture of the completed bead so I can post it here.
