Back from Port Townsend (again)

I went to Port Townsend again to assist with the master glass class with Andrea Guarino-Slemmons last weekend. What a blast! Great students and a great time all around. Andrea and I worked late into the night each night on beads and silver (caps and cores). I can't thank her enough for her generosity, time and talent!

Thank you, friend.

This is my version of Andrea's famous Galaxy Bead.
This is my personal bead - I won't be making any of these to sell.

Be sure to check out Andrea's site to get your own!

My take on the Galaxy bead.
Now I need to work on getting my colors coordinated.

And finally.... some kitty photos. Towanda keeps me company at Andrea's house when I am missing my Herman Quinn. They have a lot in common...
