Tube Lampwork
Where to GO to buy glass tubing and rods for lampwork?
hey guys, i wanna know where i can go to in person to buy rods and tubing for glass blowing. i know i can purchase them off the internet, but i would rather go and pick the supplies up in person. Like what stores for example? thanks!
Unless you live in one of a very few cities, you are going to have to have it shipped to you. Some of the products, especially soft glass tubing can be had from sign supply companies for neon tubing work.
Many people who do bead work with torches use compatible stained glass intended for fusing, cutting it into strips.
Check out www.hotglass.com for sources. If you happen to live in those places, you can drive to buy it. www.arrowsprings.com is (I think) in Colorado and http://www.waleapparatus.com/ is on the east coast.

Old world technique producing innovative jewelry
The loss of someone close to you whether it is a dear friend or a family member can have a devastating effect on your life. This loss is often magnified depending on the closeness of the relationship and the circumstances of the death. Everlasting Memories is an online company that has taken a unique approach to memorializing your loved one and has an extensive collection of beautiful keepsake pendants. These pendants will hold a remembrance of your beloved and make a beautiful display of your affection to those that have passed on. Each cremation pendant is one of a kind and can often times be customized to express the spirit of those you’re memorializing.
Cremation jewelry is a new concept that takes an every-day accessory and transforms it into a wearable expression of your devotion. These beautiful and exclusive keepsakes feature an outward appearance much like any other jewelry pendant. However, the urn pendants are a little bit different. Each pendant has a small opening that leads to a small inner compartment on the inside of the keepsake pendant. This compartment will hold approximately a pinch of a special homage to your loved one.
There are several options for your homage to your family member or friend that has passed away. One of the most common would be to memorialize a bit of cremated ashes or cremains. This makes for a personal connection to your funeral jewelry and enables you to have a part of your loved one with you at all times. You can also remember your darling by inserting some ground from the site of burial or a few strands of hair into your memorial locket. A small piece of a favorite t-shirt or even some ashes from a burned photo would make for a special and honorable way to remember someone that you loved.
One of the most exciting lines of cremation jewelry is a glass urn pendant. These gorgeous keepsakes have been crafted using a technique known as lampworking. Lampworking consists of a small piece of glass that has been Hand Crafted to achieve the shape and consistency of color. The glass is crafted using a small torch to bring the glass to a high heat and then by course of gravity, tools or by blowing into the end of a glass tube the small urn is created.
Each ash pendant is unique and independent and will hold your choice of honors towards your loved one. The top of the glass ash keepsake has a small cap that screws onto the glass ball at the bottom. A small funnel as well as a set of instructions to assist in filling your cremation pendant is generally sent and you can add a small amount of epoxy to the threads of the stopper before replacing the cap.
