fairs over!

I'm very lazy, I only did two! They went ok, although not as well as last year but I'm not surprised that people are being more careful.

I took along three mandrels this time, with glass on, in various stages of making a bead. It was very helpful, I could see their faces changing as they properly understood.. most people say they know what lampworking is, and they have a vague idea, but doing my flameless demo over and over, I realised just how many hadn't quite got it and I think it makes their purchase feel all the more special and unique to them.

I've spent some time restocking today, and putting a few beads up for sale.. here are a couple..
