[Puddy Tat Glass]

My hubby bought me a Creation Station to help with my tremors, but when I first started using it I wasn't used to reaching around the supports and ended up putting my forearm right in front of the flame...fortunately for me I had my favorite sweatshirt on. It immediately burned a hole though the fabric, my arm wasn't in that flame for more than a fraction of a second so I lucked out and just got a warming.

However...I have learned that once your mandrels have sat in the kiln for a while you should never try to pick them up with your bare fingers. I could see that there was a problem with the placement of one of my sculptural beads and just grabbed the end of the mandrel (the end that was outside the kiln)...whew, that gave me a nice new crease right across three fingers. That burn was a long yellow line...lesson learned.
