Making beads is nearly a daily process at my studio.
Mandrels set in a mug made by Yuma's clay artist Neely and Glass rods ready to be lampworked into beads set in a Colbalt Blue Antique glass jar given to me by my sister Patricia Brockert.
My Oktoberfest mug from Munich holds stingers. I like to prepare several before using them to decorate my lampwork beads.
A collections of wine bottles is a must in my glass studio. Normally, I like to have them marked-- to show where they came from and what type of Merlot, Chardonnay, Riesling was in the bottle in the first place.
A celebration or event is also noted to show how special each bottle is before I use them to create beads.
Some bottles are missing a neck because they have been used for a glass pendant. 
In the entrance room to my studio you find roving and fiber tools. Here on the book shelf is a photo of a bead collection I put together years ago. Two large Loren Stump Beads are in the photo along with some of my favorite African Trade Beads.
The Complete Idiots Guide to Beading Illustrated is along side the frame. You will find two pages of my bead work in the photo section of this book. Also, now out for purchase is Georgene Lockwood's Beading Projects. My Mobile Lampwork Fish project is featured in the Beading Projects book.
Look for our Arts Prescott Gallery Book signing coming up December 8, 2007.
