For the Love of Hand Blown Glass Beads |
| 9/25/2009 10:43:36 AM |
Have you ever been in a bead store? To me, it is like entering the proverbial candy shop. I have a love, perhaps even a fetish, for hand blown glass beads. The stores I visit offer every kind of bead made. From wooden, to clay, to gems and hand blown.
I like all beads but am always drawn to the hand blown areas. I have been known to spend hours picking out bead after bead,... Read More |

Discovering a Blown Glass Pendant |
| 9/16/2009 9:47:04 PM |
 Whenever I go visit Helen, GA, there is one particular store where they perform the art of making hand blown glass articles. These artists make everything from blown glass animals, angels, fairies, and jewelry. While last there, I found the most stunning blown glass pendant. It had a slight tinge of blue to it, and it was in a double-heart shape. There was not another... Read More |

The Sky is the Limit for Hand Blown Glass |
| 9/16/2009 3:01:22 PM |
 I have a great respect for people who can create hand blown glass artwork. It's amazing to me how someone can change a rod of glass into chandeliers, bird houses, butterflies or any of the fascinating things I've seen made from hand blown glass. I've also seen little glass pianos that were made using this method. There is no limit to the items that can be created using... Read More |

 I was watching a renovation show on the Home Network the other night featuring an artsy couple who were looking to rehab an old decrepit residence into a home to start a family in. In the spirit of saving money, they got very creative, doing much of the work themselves. In the entrance to their living room, they wanted to create something similar to the blown glass picture...

Hand Blown Anything Holds a Special Meaning |
| 9/7/2009 6:45:17 PM |
 I was always taught that the price of a present doesn’t mean anything if there isn’t a personal touch attached. This idea is reinforced every single year when I ask my mom what she wants for her birthday and she responds with all I want is a nice birthday card. She is more interested in some kind words then a gift certificate to get a pedicure even though I am sure she... Read More |

 Blown Glass Heart
When I was 16 I attended a hobby class to learn how to make blown glass. During that time I made a heart shaped blown glass pendant. It was very beautiful and very special to me. I had decided that I would
keep that pendant safe and give it to the girl who I truly loved. I had girlfriends in college, but none of them were special enough. I started a job, got... Read More |
