Where I Started (First Year)

Posted by Ironmoutain01 on 12/10/2006

By now I've been lampworking for about 19 months... a long time for me, but a drop in the bead release for alot of others out there. I thought I'd be brave and post pictures of some of my first-year beads to see how they compare to the ones I've been making now. I'm a self-taught artist, so please bear with me. Eventually I would LOVE to take a class, but I have to peel myself away from work, first.

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 2 years, but if you add up the actual time, it's more like 13 months. I WANT SOME MORE!!!!!!
