Sure -- it's not cause I'm vain, lol, I just don't like people sneaking up on me. Plus sometimes it comes in handy to look at my piece from the back.

yes--especially good when doing tubework


DH tries not to startle me when he walks up. He will make alot of noise but sometimes when I am in 'the mode' I can't physically hear(I know that sounds weird but it is true) and when he appears in the doorway it is all I can do to keep from tossing my artpiece in the air. oh, and screaming at hte top of my lungs, at which DH rolls with laughter while apologizing....

When the most exciting moment of the day is when you are able to get both toddlers down for a nap at the same time so you can dash to the studio with the baby monitor in hand, to try the new color combination you came up with when coloring with crayons...

OMG. What an awesome thread.

I'm not sure what I am. Just started "working" hot glass a year ago. Got into it because Boro just makes me drool. Mr. Smiley's implosion pendants are to die for.

Now I think I'm just a Ho Ho!!! (no twinkies and no santas): 104, 90, 33 and 96 on the way. Eeeeshh

You know your a boro ho when you accept bits of rod from people that are clearly not useable for anything realistic, all while smiling.

You know your a boro ho when you make friends with someone in portland purely because of their proximity.

You know your a boro ho when your cardboard sign reads "Will work for Red Elvis".

thats all ive got for now.

Now get back to work hos.
My ears perk up when someone says they live in OREGON let alone Portland!
Who moved a while ago to be closer?? lol
The bikers saying.... I don't get it. What else could it mean?

I need a sequel to these! HAHAHAHA

I love that mirror too! I wear an Ipod and get scared to death when someone sneaks up on me!

You guys who just started! It can be just like a slip and slide! But so fun!

You know you're a BoHo when immediately after the earthquake you frantically dial home to see if the glass survived!

Vases are for flowers????

I can concur that Jason's a big BoHo! He's got more torches, glass, and tools than anyone I know!

Hey Jason! We gotta play at Darby's again soon!

While the sexes are reversed, this is so true for me... I get so absorbed in the glass sometimes I don't hear her coming... I get so mad!
