If angel hair is spun glass, I'm not sure you'd want to be messing with it. One of the dangers of lampworking is inhaling the glass dust and glass artists work very hard to make sure they don't inhale it. Your lungs can't expell the glass dust and the long term effects are bad. <br /><br />I'll stop lecturing on safety now :-) - good luck with your search!<br /><br />CindyCindy Gimbronehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15625146240609776265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14543068.post-52858461400470285922010-12-18T17:45:27.784-05:002010-12-18T17:45:27.784-05:00Okay, this is totally off topic, but I could use s...Okay, this is totally off topic, but I could use some help!! I came across a tutorial a while back that told you how to make beads out of Angel Hair fiber and cannot remember where it was that I saw it. I was wondering if you knew where I might be able to look to find it. If not, I guess I'll keep searching and hopefully I'll find it some other way. I've got a request in with a couple other blogs: A Bead a Day, and The Beading Gem. Hopefully between all of us we'll come across something. Anyway, thank you so much for your time and your wonderful blog.Laceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07615519339796283327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14543068.post-46852606207942805132010-12-18T09:25:26.267-05:002010-12-18T09:25:26.267-05:00Thanks, Mallory, Cindy Elizabeth and Andrew!

Philosophers are right when they say that the essence is in the journey as I find it deeply satisfying to explore and refine on my way to a design. <br /><br />CindyCindy Gimbronehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15625146240609776265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14543068.post-90351182965398879002010-12-17T02:24:09.871-05:002010-12-17T02:24:09.871-05:00There are lots of different kinds of artists in th...There are lots of different kinds of artists in this world. Some dive right in, with singular vision and tunnel their way to new work. Others approach design issues from different angles, asking questions and instead of going at it in only one direction, approach it from all sides. I think that what you learn from these different approaches informs and enriches your work. Although the journey is a longer one and more circuitous, I think it's more of an adventure. Good luck on your journey!<br /><br />Oh and I'm glad that you're finding my sister's book useful. Working on it was an incredible experience. Kind of like playing mad scientist. Not only was it a lot of fun, but I think we both learned a lot by exploring the different materials.<br /><br />Good luck!
