Made the local front page today with a couple other artisans in Anna, TX. Here’s the link to the little story.
There were pictures in the paper, but I guess our little paper isn’t going to post those online. My thanks to Danielle King for the interview and article…it was fun!
Hello Susie!
I live in Anna too. I happened to see your story in the Tribune! I went nuts!! I would love to meet you. I love to bead and am always looking for something unique. I don’t know how to make glass beads but I sure would love to to learn. Have you thought about teaching?
Your beads are wonderful!!! I am so glad that I learned about you!
Thank you so much, Emmee. I’m not really set up for classes, but it does sound like fun….maybe something for the future.
I saw a beginner kit at Hobby Lobby or there’s one you can order here… http://www.delphiglass.com/flameworking-supplies/beginner-bead-making/hot-head-bead-making-kit You would also need the MAPP gas for the torch…which you can get at Home Depot. I use an oxygen/propane system, but really all you need is that simple torch for working with soft glass (which is what I use). The class I took was taught using a torch like the one in the kit. 
So glad you like the beads and thank you so much for reading the article.
