I think your niche can be always changing with what you learn, what you enjoy, and what people want (assuming you sell your work). I'm probably known for my fritted swirls and spiral bead sets (and...

Those are so cool! I'd been thinking about trying to make some buttons to add to crochet items DD and I have been making. Tonight one of my customers asked if I made buttons (she's a knitter), and...

I suppose you really need to think about what you'd like to make long-term. When I upgraded years ago, I bought a Lynx because I wanted to do boro at some point. Ironically, it's been about 4+...

I run an Onyx+ at about 60% with my Lynx for soft glass, and I've not experienced any purity issues. I still have a large O2 tank in case I decide I want to go back when I do boro (which I keep...

One of these days I'm actually going to go. It seems we have a financial crisis of some sort everytime I consider going or taking a class. I love Asheville, and I'd enjoy meeting some of you in...

I run an Onyx+ with my Lynx at about 60% for soft glass. Still haven't made the boro plunge, but I'm pretty certain it could handle it.

I don't usually buy frit in baggies unless I'm getting a kilo or half, but I think it would be o.k. for sample packs and refillables. My favorite jars are Val's 3.5 oz size. I think once you get...
