It was cold!!

According to my kiln when I turned her on (yes, her!) it was 37 out in the studio! Brrrrrr! I'm letting it warm up a little out there before I go try to battle the glass and make beads! When I say battle the glass, it's battleing thermal shock and shrapnel! LOL! The picture above is a couple of peices of artwork that are above my workbench, I won on Ebay a few years ago from Lynne Newman! I just love her work! I have 4 of her peices, including my avatar for my Facebook AMR GlassWorks page. I really need to get them framed!
Apparently the City of Killeen is finally getting around to taking out the ugly stump that is in front of my neighbor's house, which is great but why do they have to do it so early in the morning? And why does it take 10 people to do it? There is one person that handled the chain saw and one person to run the Cat rootdigger and the other 8 to stand around yakking and watching! How do I get that job? LOL! I can stand around and yak just as good as the next person! LOL!
Hopefully things have warmed up enough out there to get started on the beads! Y'all have a great day, it's partly sunny and cold here but it is warming up!
