Tim C. aka flamelove ........

I am a computer tech. a slave to the machine. I am 36.

What can I say I am just overcome by the siren song of the FLAME!!! I love all the works I have seen here and other places and I want to join the ranks of flameworkers. I have read everything I can get my hands on and have talked to a few people and have driven them nuts I am sure. Everyone has been great with their help and knowledge!! I am saving up some coin for my leap into the fantasy world of glass. I CAN'T wait! Until then I am just going to have to drool on my laptop and catalogs.

[bordridr]

I talked to Jon Boy about 6 months ago. He's living in north seattle with his daughter and doing well. That guy is sooo freakin talented LOL. His patterning is nothing to write home about but I'd put his form up against ANYBODYS!!!!! Saw him do piece one time that had a freakin 18 way donut ball thing that was like nothing I've ever seen in my life. it was a hollow sphere that had 18 opposing donut holes all facing each other with a beautifully sculpted dragon fly setting on top of it! I wish he wasnt too technically retarded to operate a computer because he would be great with the group

Hey! i'm Kathleen, 29, and I've been at the torch for seven years. I'm from St. John's, Newfoundland, where I was the local glassblower fromm 99 to Jan 04, but I'm living now on Galiano Island, BC. My shop's in a concrete bunker that's half underground. I'm the single mother of Lorne who just began kindergarten before a teacher's strike (i'm missing the time!) and I support him with my molten creations. Glass has made my life and as long as I breathe, I'll blow! Peace to you all!

Christopher Robin here. 33 years old (how'd that happen?) Working glass for about five years. Been living in Phoenix for a couple years now. Transplanted from Orange County California (Laguna Beach area). Married to a wonderful woman that actually WANTS me to just stay at home and blow glass.....Rock on!

Wife's from Oregon and we love it there. I get all jealous when you "P-towners" talk about doing all sorts of "P-towny" stuff. We'll probably move there one day when they get an economy.
