But Right now, Handmade lampwork beads sell the best

Here is some she put up on ebay yesterday..

http://frogsongstudio.com/auctions/beads/sundance01.jpg


Edit to add; she has all kinds of different glass that does different things...she may have some that looks like mother of pearl when its done....

She is in her studio making earrings right now...lol

[old steel]

Even though i'm not into jewelry those are really nice.

Kudos.

[madfranks]

Ken,

I remember your wife made a ring out of a Franklin Half Dollar, you should post that pic here too, I bet people would get a kick out of that.

She has been to busy with other things to try it again though.

[wildcard]

In God We Trust? Where's E pluribus unum and Novus ordo seclorum?

[Horn]

Upon closer inspection, I think I see some chemtrails over the garage outback. :o

Maybe it's just a trick of the light?

[Horn]

She got plenty of talent, Ken

Lucky guy. ;)

thanks Horn...your right...Im lucky :)

and BTW...I don't think we get chemtrails here...Not much anyway.

[Horn]

Does she have any single sisters? :whistle

[cigarlover]

Ken, its already been said but worth repeating, your wife has talent. Very impressive. Does she work with gold too?

[StackerKen]

Thanks CL
She used to work for a Jeweler and did many repairs on gold.

Not so much now though.

[crazychicken]

Beautiful work--just beautiful.

[Olmstein]

Lucky guy. ;)



Yeah, that's an interesting design on that bead.

[Occamsrazor]

Could she put the coins in frames instead of drilling or even soldering on a loop?
I kind of hate seeing gold or silver coins destroyed this way. I realize frames are more expensive than drilling holes but they preserve coins.
I have a Russian imperial 5 rouble coin with a loop soldered on and it`s worth only melt due to the soldering job. If it was in a frame it would have a fat premium.

[k-os]

Ken, I always enjoy seeing your wife's artwork.

[StackerKen]

more beads....

she made these test beads today with a new kind of glass.

http://hphotos-snc3.fbcdn.net/hs526.snc3/29889_1461895191735_1364103852_1238288_1459608_n.j pg

this is how she makes them

Thanks K-os :)

I like showing it...

[Libertytree]

Ken, does she have pics for all the new beads? I need one single cool bead for a necklace I wear, I think one of those would look great! The inside diameter is big enough for 2 wax string shoelaces to go through, or I can measure it exactly. I'm more impressed everytime I see her work.

I think the hole on those is only an 1/8 inch
But she does make some with larger holes

I will PM you with a link to her website. :)

[StackerKen]

this is a set she has on ebay right now

http://www.frogsongstudio.com/auctions/beads/victorianbelle01.jpg

[k-os]

Wow! I can't believe how much detail goes into every bead. It's as if every bead is a work of art all it's own. Great job, Mrs. StackerKen.

[Neuro]

Ken, I think I see a nipple too.. are you sure your wife isn't a photo reflection exhibitionist? ??? ;)

yep that right bead on the photo seems to reflect a nipple...

[muffin]

I love the mercury dime earrings! I would pay for a pair also, if she's making some. I have one request though, could I get them without the beads on the top? I like my earrings shorter. If not, that's ok!

I would love to have the earrings to match my mercury dime necklace.... My favorite necklace. Sister got it for me years ago from a charity online. I don't want the earrings to be cut or smoothed down like the necklace though.

And my husband, Mouse, made me the walking liberty pendant. One of my fave too. Except, when I'm wearing it, he stares at it instead of listening to me :oo-->

Hi Muffin (Mrs Mouse) Sorry I didn't respond sooner...I meant to, but forgot.

She has one pair left if you still want them.

[StackerKen]

Bump to show off my wifes latest creation :)

These beads are relevant to this forum because she used silver saturated glass ;D

Ken tell Mrs. Stacken they are beautiful!! :D

[ximmy]

I want to say "I think I see a nipple sooo bad" :-X

[MAGNES]

Ken how much for the first post ear rings ?

How much for the silver imbeded beads ?

I would buy the ear rings, very unique.

Is the hook Stainless Steel ?

Where can I buy or is it just for herself ?

You mentioned ebay, send me a link please.

[k-os]

StackerKen, your wife is incredibly talented. I love the newest one. The colors are really nice. And I don't know what silver saturated glass is, but that's just icing on the cake!

[StackerKen]

I sent you a PM Magnes :)

[1970 silver art]

Hey Stacker, that is excellent art work that your wife made. Thanks for sharing. :)

[StackerKen]

Thanks guys :)

She is aways coming up with things that amaze me...I can't help but want to show them to folks.... :)

[illumin19]

That's pretty clean Ken.....

When my silver stash was bigger I thought about going into some silversmithing classes/school. Would still like to but, times is rough.....

[StackerKen]

:)

My wife just explained "silver saturated glass" to me...went right over my head....and all I can tell you is its got some silver in it....LOL

Silver does some strange stuff with the colors of glass when it is heated. And when it is Heated even more it does more stuff....lol

I will try to get her to take a min. to explain it later...lol

[muffin]

Hey, SK, sent you a message thru Mouse. Thanks for responding. I can't wait to get them! She is an awsome artist! The glass with the silver is absolutely beautiful!!

[Playswithfire]

Hello, and thank you everyone. :)

K-os, silver saturated glass is glass that is made with a lot of silver in it. There are two kinds. Striking silver glass, and reduction silver glass. The silver reacts with the glass and causes color shifting.

The striking silver glass is heated in a neutral to oxygen rich flame and cooled several times to bring out all the rainbow colors.

The reduction glass is flashed through a propane rich flame which brings the silver to the surface and gives the bead a metallic shine. Depending on what glass you're using and how much you reduce it, you can get metallic silvers, golds, purples, greens and blues. Or even a mixture of several colors on one bead which we call the oil slick effect.

It's pretty cool glass, but also very expensive at $100.00 a pound. So I try to use it sparingly... LOL

[BrewTech]

I will drive up there next weekend if necessary to get a pair of those.

Not only will I get a cool set of 'rings, but it will get me a much needed trip away from HERE!!

It would be cool to meet you though. Have a couple brews :)

This is just some of her glass that she uses. In the "Glass caddy" that she designed and help me build.
its on a lazy susan so it spins.

If you guys are going to meet I want to go too. I need to get over that way sooner or later, I would be going over to Turlock, is that close Ken?

Zap and Brewtech; Turlock is about 80 miles north of me. Im in the foothills east of Fresno.

A meet up sounds really cool. I wonder when K-os will be in Ca... Maybe we should wait for her?
or we could just do it again when she gets here I suppose.

I dunno... but sounds cool :)

Money is going out tomorrow.

We have lots of rabitts....but someone would have to butcher em. :-\

Haven't seen any deer latley though. How about burgers?...lol

A month? or two maybe?

Can't you go down and go thru oklahoma and straight across west maybe? Better then coming thru Reno, or Utah. I don't know what ever works for you. Are you going to park and sell the rv and buy a plane ticket home?


I wasn't planning on it. But anything could happen. What made you ask that question? Or were you just being funny?

I have driven so much over the years I am getting sick of it, I figured you will have spent so much time on the road you would be done with driving, That's what I would do. The older I get the less I like to drive, In fact when I take the little one to Disneyland I will fly, One hour boom we're there, not 5 hours both ways.

You know in a month or two, there will be lot's of snow/ice on the road, depending on how far north your are...just sayin' ;)

[StackerKen]

yeah K-os go below Colorado and get here in a month (or so) and we will have a Huge GS.US get together at my place in the hills :) (Only suggestions) Im not being bossy :)

Keg Party!! ;D

[Olmstein]

If you are going west between now and next spring in an RV, you will want to go south to Oklahoma and take I-40 across. I-70 through Colorado is a beautiful drive, but it's very steep, and it would really tax your RV. Plus, the pass on I-70 is above the tree line and snowy/icy conditions are typical.

Plus, if you go I-40 you will be following old Route 66.

That's For Sure ;D I was sorta referring to being in a more mountainous region (higher elevation) in a month or two and possibly gettin' caught in it, I'd recommend California, it's a beautiful state and so varied (geographically speaking) such a shame the zombies have taken over and rule most of it.... :D Stay safe ;D

[Playswithfire]

Could the person who is interested in the earrings please PM me and let me know if you're still interested?
Ken told me what you wanted, but I want to make sure I'm clear on it before I make them.

Thanks,

She flattened out a piece of copper pipe that Zap gave her. Then bent it into a bracelet


Basically, she draws on the copper with a Sharpie then sticks it in swimming pool acid.
The ink from the Sharpie somehow protects the copper while the acid eats the rest. then she puts it in bakeing soda to stop the process. And then she polishes the ink off. :)

(and then antiqued it )

Yeah !! Ken I am so glad you posted the pic !!!! That's the bracelet Playswithfire gave to me !

I tried to take a picture of the bracelet to show here and it never comes out, I can't make my camera stop the flash.

Very nice work I love it !

Thankyou
