I had this hair-brained idea that I would have a photo contest. If someone purchased one of my beads and took a photo of the finished work they could WIN!!! And being the type of happy-go-lucky dude that I am, I told every one that they would win CASH. And, as it turns out, of course, I don't have any. I don't know what to tell thease folks, I guess they get some free stuff . . . So funny what I do sometimes when I think I'm smart. Anyhow, the photos I do have are very fun for me to look at. Stringing is hard work, it takes some real skill, time and access to the right materials. If you have made work from my work, please send me a photo: YOU COULD WIN CASH!!! :)

This piece is titled "My Name is Indigo Montoya" and was strung up by Mike Sherman. If you don't know Mike, he is a smart mofo. Owner and inventer of Soft Flex beading wire. He has an eye for good glass. Looking to buy/sell the good stuff; see Mike.

This was made by Lisa Kelly, Calf. mother, lampworker, and world traveled beading teacher. She is a featured teacher at Bead and Button. I say all this because she HATES this piece, I'm hoping to bribe her for cash to pay for my "contest".

This was made by a woman just south of me in Littleton and for the life of me I can't remember her name. That's wrong and I know it, sorry. I'll find out some day and post it. She was very nice to me, sorry lady, please forgive me.

Going to conferences like GAS (2005,4,3,2,1), ISGB (2005,4,1) or Salem (2005), internet inspiration like this site, Flow Mag,and talking with glass friends on the phone is the only way I survive. I love to see people work hard, to make visions in glass come true, because I want that for myself. I am pleased with my work not because it's good glass (my pieces need a lot of improvement) but because I know I put my heart into it. I am proud to say that I learned from Big Daddy Bruce. The biggest inspiration I have and the only reason I can push myself, the only way I can find the energy to work hard and stay focused comes from my glass friends-teachers who also ‘get-er-done’ tough everyday: Jason Ryner,Keysha Whitsel,Jason Herring,Kevin & Keith Engelman,Greg Hoff,Andrew Brown,Will Menzies,Steve Sizelove,Rosburg,and Solfiel.If you see me not working, kick me in the head. One Love, God bless and above all else: KEEP IT HOT! hwc05

I want to win the cash - but really there is no cash "contest"
Dear Mr. Harold
I am just starting to string up jewelry - you may remember me from the KBlassworks booth in Tucson - I was next to you, and you kept throwing things at my head ... anyway, I have one of your pieces - that I stole from your booth - and I am stringing it up, so I can win your contest. I love your pieces - especially your rings. I will send you a picture of the finished piece I make with your stolen piece. I think you will like it. Heck, I'll even send it to you so you can have the piece back. or....maybe I'll sell it on ebay and split it with you. I'll let you know. Either way - you rock. Keep up the good work. I've always have admired your dedication and hard work.
xoxo - the lady who broke your vessel top in tucson, Sarah Mader
