Gail, you mistake Lillian's words for mine, I think :^)) I don't focus on sales - although I take commissions for the hollow beads I make, I do not currently offer any pre-made pieces online, ONLY pattern designs in the form of comprehensive tutoria…
Lillian,
Thanks for the reply. I don't use solder or fuse any of my pieces either, haven't found the need, so far.:^))
