What, you do metallurgy as well as glasswork?

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

I wish. No. But I can and do work with a lot of different types of glass as well as leafing and paint. Between the hand blown beads and pendants and lampworking for the detailed work I can recreate a lot of passable pieces--even if it's class and not metal.

Dichrotic glass resembles metal at a glance.

Ooooo, I know about dichroic! Well, not know know, but I do have one piece, it was a gift from a friend a few months ago. Lemme find the pic.

There we are (http://files.tellmewhereonearth.com/Photos%20Dichroic/d401.JPG). I love the piece, and the setting, but I don't tend to wear cool colors that often so it don't see much skin time.

That is lovely.

I don't do metal work, but I have been known to do some beading and things, like this (http://pics.livejournal.com/sand_andwater/pic/0003gks1). Not quite as finished looking as your piece of course.

Ooooo, that's lovely. Not for sale, is it?

You like it?

I...couldn't tell you the last time I actually sold anything I've done. I usually give them as gifts. You can have it if you like.

I do like it. I'm a sucker for anything red.

You sure? I'm happy to pay for it. I like buying things from artists when I honestly like their stuff.

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

Oh, don't be silly...I couldn't charge you for it when I keep giving things to everyone else. If you want it, I'll gladly put it in a box for you.

[zippyknowsbest.livejournal.com]

How's this-- first one's free, and I will happily take a box-- but the next thing I get from you, you let me pay you for?

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

I suppose that's fair.

[zippyknowsbest.livejournal.com]

Bitchin'.

You're welcome.
