Default What lampworking tips are on your blog?

I started a blog a while ago, called Lampwork Glass Beads, Playing With Fire. It's only about lampwork. I post to it kind of sporadically, but hope there is some useful info there for others.
What's there so far?
Gone fishin'- A mini fish tut.
What's sludge got to do with it- my take on several different sludges.
Metamorphosis of a bead-The inspiration for a particular bead, and the steps I took to accomplish it.
Synchronicity and lampwork- A bit about vessels and more about inspiration.
Hot glass, what is lampwork and what should you be looking for?
Ten (or so) things you shouldn't do with glass- some tips you won't see just anywhere.
Making Disk Beads- tips and pics
Art Glass or Just Glass- my take, after a discussion that originally appeared here.
And a few odds and ends

You can view it at http://isinglassdesign.blogspot.com/
I'd love to know what tips are in your blog!

Just trying to give this another chance to get a reply or two. Even feedback on my little blog would be appreciated.

Thanks to the three of you! The fish tut doesn't exactly show everything. If you have questions, just let me know!

Thumbs up

I love your blog! the tutes are great, especialy the fish, I've been struggling with making a fish and your tute is greatly appreciated by me. I also liked reading your posts, informative and fun.

re bead release, I have foster fire and it is great, I've never ever had a bead stick onto the mandrel with it. my beads sit firm on the mandrel while working yet practically "slide off" the mandrel after annealing.

I also liked the tips you gave about disc beads, my problem with discs is that I wind the glass on off centre so I get a kind of half sphere rather than disc, I then manage to ruin the shape when I try to straighten the disc with my mashers.

I will be visiting your blog again.
