- About Me:
- I would like to tell you a bit about myself. My name is Gerry Ann Brown and I live in the beautiful State of Washington with my Husband of 37yrs. We live there with our bouncy little puppies ,Pokey and Ginger Snap. We have raised two Children and My Husband served 21 years in the US Navy. He also recently retired from the United States Navy of 21years and the Postal Service of23years. Now we work together and he make all the fused glass on the Fused Glass Page.
How I got started in GlassBeadMaking
I was at a bead show one day looking for jewelry findings and beads. There was a demonstrator showing the procedure for making copper enamel Beads.
She showed me how to make a couple of them and I was so impressed that I got started right away. All I needed was a powdered glass from Thompson Enamel, and a propane torch. No annealing was necessary so I decided to make enamel beads, and for a couple years I did.
I have always loved making Jewelry, except I was buying my beads from suppliers (you know those imported ones). I discovered Lampwork Bead making when I was searching the Web and after seeing beautiful beads, I just had to lean how to make them.
So.... by now you have figured it out... I took that class too *grin*. I have been everything from a QA Inspector for electronics and plastics and even health care giving and a cook for nursing homes. I have worked in a bakery and loved cake decorrating, but never have I loved any thing as much as torch work.
I knew I had to do something to contribute to the house hold income, so sitting on a stool making beautiful beads is a real treat to me and I love it. I have always had a great love for making jewelry until I discovered bead making.
Now I have another great passion for making beads and would love sharing them with all of you out there. Some times when sitting at the torch I wonder how I come up the creations that I do. I think it brings out my imagination.
