Playing with

Molten Hot Glass


I've been enjoying playing with fire for about 10 yrs now...Mainly working on a torch with rods of glass making Beads and pendants.

In the last 3 years I'm had the pleasure assisting Steve Palmer and David Tate.
In doing so, I am learning how to Work with Off-hand Glassblowing, where I am working with a furnace full of molten glass and steel blowpipes and punties.

I've been making Small vases, Drinking glasses, Flasks, Candle Holders, Jars and more.

It's a whole new world for me...It opens the doors of creatiity even wider.

I Give Thanks!

I've been playing Percussion for more than 10 yrs...Mostly Hand Drums. I also dig...& Play wierd instruments, like the Jaw Harp, Ukulele, Ba Wu, Drone flute, and I'm really trying to get the hang of the Musical Saw.

Ukulele Lovers, here's a Cord Chart and Songbook for you

This is a great site for Ukulele Lovers... all the tablature is written as uke tab...not guitar tab.

The cord chart has so many cords I didn't find in the book I have. I love this site! Have fun!!

There's even 'You shook me all night long' by ACDC...theres just something so wrong, yet so right about playing that on the uke.

ENJOY!

Greetings,

Thank you for joining our circle of friends. Welcome. - We would like to invite you to visit our website and read about the variety of different free, healthy and life saving solutions, available right now, that we can all take advantage of, to save our one and only home Planet Earth, and to ensure a sustainable green future for all of us, the humankind.

We must keep in mind that, united we stand and prosper, but divided, we have been falling for many, many years. Let us learn how to unite and work together, let us learn how to transform the information offered on our website, into positive and constructive action, in order to solve humanity’s major ecological problems, One Problem, at a time. - Ranking number 1, on top of our list of major manmade environmental problems, obviously is the Global Warming.

Keep in mind that silence solves nothing, it never has, and it never will. Our silence will encourage more environmental devastation, violence and corruption at all levels, all over the world. Our silence will help to defeat and silent the peaceful ethical voices of reason and common sense. - It is our civic duty and moral obligation, to get involved and never be silent, to solve our many problems, by simply casting the light of truth and exposing the source of the problem, followed by enlightening educational measures to solve the problem through a peaceful conflict resolution.

There are only 2 ways of spreading the light of truth and hope, either to be the source of light, truth and hope, The Projector, or be The Mirror, that spreads and reflects the light of truth and hope to others, which one are you? - Next time you see the angelic smile of sweet, innocent little angels, our children, running around, growing up in this world, stop and think for just 1 minute, think about what kind of a polluted Home, we are raising them in, and the Home we are leaving behind for them.

Ok, so hears my idea for the RNC. Riot proof care bears...
What you'll need:
1. Sweat Suit ( any color, but has to match).
2. Long under ware (tops and bottom).
3. Pillow stuffing (from pillows, or Jo-anne's).
4. Camel back (so you don't die of dehydration).
5. Gas mask..resperator (for when you get gassed).
6.Goggles (for when you get gassed, pepper balled, or maced)
7. Oval of white fabric or felt.
8. Helmet.
9. Creativity.

What to do:
1. Put the long under in the sweat suit, and sew together (or staple if you lazy) the wrists and ankles.
2. Then fill the suit with stuffing between the layers of sweat suit and long underwear and sew together the waists.
3. Next apply design white oval to stomach area.
4. Fill camel back with cold water, and put on goggles.
5. put on helmet and pull hood over it, then attach some cute little cardboard ears, and your done.
