Here's a quick peak at some of the hearts I've been working on this week, I'm hoping to get some of these little ones listed plus some more now I've got the hang of them.

About Me
- SteamPunkGlass
- I use a technique called 'lampworking' which involves directly heating rods of premium glass in a super-hot flame of propane and oxygen. Once it's glowing and in a jam/treacle like consistency I then wind, push, prod, roll and generally play around with the hot glass. Once I've finished sculpturing it into shape it's popped into a microprocessor controlled kiln where they anneal to reduce the internal stresses that toughens the bead (a lot of cheap mass produced beads don't always do this). I live in the countryside bit of Essex (just above London for those from outside the UK), in a village that's been here since saxon times, surrounded by plenty of natural inspiration from the old village cottages to the open fields. I am also a self-representing artist, all the glass I make is my own work, and am a proud to be a member of a group of like-minded glass artists - more can be found here; Member #G84 www.self-representing-artist.com/ My main website is www.SteamPunkGlass.com
