The Bead Report By Kerry S. Caron Beer N Beadz July, 2006 Cathy Camley Morning Star Creations and Glass

The Beer and Beads was held at Cathy Camley's house in North Delta. It was a very hot day in July. Cathy set up the torches outside and with a few wind blockades some great demos took place.

Tamara started out the day testing different types of clear rods. We all decided the Lauschan was the nicest. Vetrofond super clear was the runner up.	Here Tamara is waxing the mold, getting ready for pressing. This technique is adivised to help prevent the glass from dragging.
Tamara adds more glass to the mandrel.	Then she checks to see if it is enough glass to fill the mold.
	Finished pressed jeweled bead. Great job Tamara.
Heidi begins her demo on one of her Boro skaters. First Heidi works on building the buttocks.	Lynne looks on in amazment.
Building the legs of the skater.	Heidi puntys up the skater keeping the heat moving over the thicker spots.

Make a little round tab. Tamara used black for her's.	Add stringer for the tale and where you want the body to be.
Make sure everything is heated but not melted down.	Ahh he is so cute Tamara. Such cute eyes.
