April 5-6, 2025 Las Vegas, Nevada

 High of 78 and sunny. 

This is a class in making glass murine. We were pulling came from the bottom of these kilns. This is what we were making. 

Here I am pulling red hot came from the bottom of the kiln. I bought one of these kilns last year, so figured I should learn more things I can do with it. Lois pulling came.

You cut the came into smaller pieces and can fuse them together to look like this. These are the beads I made in the intro to torch class yesterday. 

Torch demo at the exhibit hall. The Meet and Greet last night at the expo. 

Lois and I dancing  at the meet and greet. Anita was taking photos. Anita with Shirley.

We posed for the free photos at the meet and greet. 

I had this photo taken today. This morning I took another wire wrapping class. Libby demoing what we were going to make.

The top two were demo pieces the instructor made of the garden gate wrap, the bottom one is the one I made in the class.  Picked up my entries from the Gallery of Excellence. I did not win any ribbons, which was not a surprise, the completion was incredible. But I sold the left one. 

Spent the rest of the afternoon at the pool. Me with an umbrella drink in a coconut by the pool. We had dinner from the pool snack bar by the pool.
