[krispysglass]

one night last summer a few buddies, my girl and i were sittin around a bonfire (non of them blow glass) and those questions like 'what or who would you bring to a deserted island, if it was the endnof the world what would you do, if u only had a week to live' dumb questions but every answer 'blow glass, blow glass blow glass' one of my buddies looked at me 'you really love glass huh?' my girl replied ' more then he loves me' i looked at both of them and said 'ya umm...sorry' and now my girl refers to glass as my mistress... but i think my girl is actually the mistress

(if any of that makes sense you may be a glassblower)

NICE!! glass sammy sounds great!
I really hope this didn't actually happen

[Organik]

Well, once I had a jimmy johns sandwich my friend had brought over.. I was in the middle of a project so I started eating the sandwitch got halfway done and set it down right next to me not even thinking and started working.. put the piece in the kiln and went to finish chowing down and noticed some glimmers and loose shards in the paper.. I didnt eat it though. Wasted a good sammich!

I've used random rods of 5mm to stir soups and noodle dishes I've cooked at work. It didn't take many stray pieces of frit in my noodles to get me to start washing/wiping off the rods first. Yeah.... frit+teeth=no teeth

[istandalone24/7]

how did you see the frit in the soup? or was it more like slurp slurp fucking CRUNCH "ouch my teef"??

You Know Your A Lamp/Flame Worker For Life When...

You are putting together a new studio and you feel it necessary to include a couch that pulls out into a bed because you know you will practically be living there at all times possible pretty much...

Oh and anyone else not able to fall asleep because you just lay there thinking about what you want to try out/make once you wake up and start again the next morning???

Or... How about when you've been melting so long, every day, all week, you finally doze off at the torch.

Man, I really need to get one of those couches that pull out into a bed for my studio, viola!

I use a futon and I never leave the studio myself.
