Hi Eileen,  

On behalf of the AOG team, we would like to extend a warm welcome and we are glad you decided to join our forum. If you need any assistance, please feel free to ask any member, we are more than happy to assist you.

To ensure our membership roster is up to date with active members, and as per the membership agreement, please be aware that inactive members that have been absent from the forum for 180 days will automatically have their membership removed.

Out of curiosity, how did you hear of us and ultimately find us and could you please let us know what type or types of glass (Cold/Warm/Hot) you enjoy doing?

One thing more - the only stupid question is the one that does not get asked.

Enjoy!

Hello, and thanks for the welcome!
I first did stained glass back in the 80's, and have done the odd project here and there in the time between then and my retirement.  I also am learning glass fusing, and having fun there also.  I've always had a yen to do some glass blowing, but haven't done any of that.... yet!  I'm debating on taking a class to learn how to create with the torch, it just looks so intriguing when I see photos and videos of people making beads. 
(I also do pottery, paint, some jewelry, quilting, etc. so I probably don't need to introduce another addiction but we'll see;)

I'm looking forward to checking out the posts & seeing some of the projects and ideas people have posted. 
I've just made a mold (pottery) to try making a domed paperweight from some of my scrap glass, and will post if that works out well.  I may try one from float with a bit of mica for interest first, then try it with my 96.

Really glad you found us Eileen.  You'll have a great time working your way through the posts here, please feel free to ask if you have questions.  We have a great group of really knowledgeable people here who are always willing to help. You sound like you're a busy lady and for someone that's just learning fusing it sounds as though you've already come a long way already.  Keep experimenting, you'll have a blast!  Lot's of addicted people here too, lol!

  Eileen!

An experimenter...Love it !

I'm glad you decided to join us here. I look forward to exchanging ideas with you. It's s cool that you can make your own molds,...that could be very interesting. I look forward to hearing about your paperweight.

Again, Welcome!

Thank you Malinda.  I signed up for a class in beadmaking yesterday, but may not have anything picture worthy for a while, LOL.
