These are some of the heart beads that I've been making for "beads of Courage". Hearts and purple have never really been my thing, but if these kids can do it, so can I - my part in their recovery is so very small. Our San Antonio lampworking group is one of many taking part in the Beads of Courage program - you can read more at http://www.beadsofcourage.net/.
These are my latest Beads of Courage - going out at the end of this month. Thought I'd try a different style with these.... the other half of this page will be going up as soon as I can take some photos...

Iron Mountain Jewelry is a one person glass studio in sunny (sweltering) Bulverde, TX, in the hillcountry just north of San Antonio. I'm a self-taught lampworker who works full-time in an Interventional Radiology Lab and only get to play with hot, moulten glass when I've been good. Or when I can run fast enough to get away from my department. I've been playing with glass now for about 20 months, but if you add up the actual time, it's more like 8 or 9. I WANT SOME MORE!!!!!!
