I do spun work still (along with everything else), but it's only a hobby for me. I used to do fairs and festivals and would demo for the crowds. People really do love to watch spun work, it goes pretty fast and you can make something good sized in a few minutes. It always sold well too but it's something you have spend the time practicing like anything else.

One of things I really like about spun, woven, lacework or however you refer to it is that it really does sparkle. No matter what it always catches the light. Not just one point or edge but all over. That and I have fond memories of the guy that taught me when I was a kid, and that was all he did.

I really hope some of you give it a try. And BTW those practice pieces can be fumed and melted down into some cool looking marbles.
