This past weekend I took a two day button class with Heather Trimlett at the Mandrel. Heather is kown for her bright, vivid colored beads as well as her buttons, disc beads and hollows. She was great! An infinite source of glass bead knowledge and quite entertaining as well. We had a wonderful group of lampworkers and I know they all had a great time too!

I had planned on being on the torch all day today with so many bright colors and twistie combos just spinning in my head! But...it was one of those catch up days that became the priority...maybe tomorrow! If you have a chance to take a class with Heather, even if you are not planning to make a lot of buttons (ya neva know!), you can get a lot out of her class! Check out Heather's website and her colorful beads! (that's Karen in the BG, hi Karen!)
