In a BIG way! We've started our very own <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/FireDivasGlassMarket" target="_blank">market </a>on Facebook!! Why not? The Divas have been a team for a long time. And our fans are used to seeing us together... so why not in our very own sales venue??? The <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/FireDivasGlassMarket">Fire Divas Glass Market</a> launched and jumped to 150 members almost overnight. The site is public but after we get a significant number of buyers, we're going to make it more private - members only. Of course, we'll be giving you and our fan page sneak peeks...but you will have to join to shop!<br />
<br />
<b>What you'll find in the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/FireDivasGlassMarket/" target="_blank">Fire Diva's Glass Market</a></b>:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Top notch glass beads and jewelry from an elite artisan team that has been together for the better part of a decade! </li>
<li>Beads, big hole European Charm beads for Pandora, Troll, Links of London etc. Jewelry, Wine toppers, beaded pens (gift items), off mandrel.... if a Diva makes it, we'll show it off and sell it!</li>
<li>And fun and friendly way to interact with artisan beadmakers</li>
<li>Less than 100 listings at any time... there are only 11 Fire Divas and we want to keep the board interesting and exciting for our buyers! </li>
</ul>
Here's a sampling of what's up there NOW!<br />

We all stay so busy with our individual <a href="http://firedivas.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">glass bead</a> businesses but... we've got something in the works as a team we think you will want to know about!<br />
<br />
We have decided to host Trunk Shows on Facebook because we want to help you with your winter holiday shopping! One Diva will host at a time and we will be offering gorgeous glass beads (naturally!) as well as some finished jewelry and some gift items too! <br />

levee of the Mississippi River between Baton Rouge and New Orleans.
Tradition there is that Santa can't see to navigate the bayou in the
dark so all the families would come out and build these 20 - 30 foot
high bonfires to let Santa know where to stop. Now, entire villages have
bonfire lightings. </span></span></span></blockquote>

<br /></div>
Last month Sonja gave you a tour of her studio space, and this month I thought I'd elaborate on some different methods of ventilation. Ventilation is an often discussed topic in the world of lampworking, and it is one that not everyone is in agreement over. When you are working with a propane and oxygen mix torch, silver, fine powders like pixie dust and enamel, it is very important for your health that you have good ventilation.<br />
<br />
A good ventilation system consists of a way to expel the air around the torch area to the outside, and a source of clean make-up air. Depending upon the size of your room, the location, (enclosed basements are not a good place) and the number of windows you have, you will need to find a way to make sure that you are getting all of the bad air out of your space so that you don't breath it in.<br />
<br />
When I was setting up my first studio in Ohio, I ended up setting it up in the front room of our house! I realized that the basement would not work because I would be too close to the furnace and I no good source of makeup air. I found a good scratch and dent range hood on ebay that had a 360CFM fan that we hung over my table. This was vented out through the window along with the propane hose. When I torched, I opened up the dining room windows so that I had a good source of fresh make-up air. This worked very well.<br />

When we moved to Atlanta, I had the opportunity to start from scratch with my studio, which was great! My studio is in our walkout basement, with a door and a window. I had a vent installed on a side wall for fresh makeup air-I just open it up when I torch. For my ventilation fan I chose to use <a href="http://www.andreaguarino.com/andreaguarino/VENTILATION.html" target="_blank">Andrea Guarino-Slemmons' concept</a>. I bought the fan she suggested, and had it installed under the window beside my table. <br />

The inlet sits on my desk, and is piped out under the desk. It works great-I've accidently had it suck up my silver leaf! I thought this would look much cleaner than the vent hanging over the desk, and it does. But, I quickly learned two things: first, I missed the great light I got from the vent hood so I had to get a floor lamp to set behind my table! Second, I miss the space on my table that the vent is now taking up. Oh well! I'm still very happy in my new studio, and I can breath easy knowing that I have great ventilation :) If you would like to see more of my studio space you can check it out on my website: <a href="http://www.amysimsdesigns.com/studio-2">www.amysimsdesigns.com/studio-2</a><br />

The other Divas were all so sad to tell her that Kronos 2 is no longer being made either! AGGGGH! The glassworkers greatest dilemma: as soon as you fall in love with something, it goes extinct (and the price goes through the roof!) This is Amy's current fave with her soon to be former favorite color pinned to the new <a href="http://pinterest.com/hollysfolly/fire-divas-glass-bead-lampwork/" target="_blank">Fire Divas Pinboard</a> (follow us!)<br />

May 7, 2011.... It's not a holiday anywhere in the world that I know of....It has no real significance probably to anyone but me, unless of course it's your birthday LOL. And if that's the case, here's an early Happy Birthday wish!!!! ;-)<br />
<br />
May 7, 2011... It doesn't really seem that it's been 18 months. It is and was, the last time I posted on this blog. The article was a dedication to all Mothers,.... a visual <a href="http://firedivas.blogspot.com/2011/05/fantasy-shopping-saturday.html">Mothers Day card</a> from the Fire Divas. And as I was reading that article, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQI8nSWsXN0">a song by Skylar Grey </a>popped into my head... and although all of the lyrics don't necessarily pertain to this article, the following 3 lines do:<br />
<br />
" <i>I'm coming home,</i><br />
<i> I'm coming home,</i><br />
<i> Tell the world I'm coming home...."</i><br />
<br />
You see, this was the first team I joined on Etsy. I learned how to promote here, how to effectively work my site, how to take better pictures, and in the process I also made new online friends, got reacquainted with old friends who were part of the group, and developed relationships with members in other countries. I learned to blog, tweet, re-tweet, HootSuite, Flickr, and a host of other valuable tips and techniques that helped my online visibility. The team is made up of a group of really fabulous and caring ladies.....all very uniquely different- who share a common love .....<i>glass</i>. It's the glue that keeps this team going ..sorta' like the "Energizer Bunny".... we just keep going , and going, and going....LOL<br />

Do keep in mind that each lampworker's space will be unique to their style of working and what level of messy they can stand while creating. This is super messy for me, but I know lampworkers whose space is far messier than mine and they make some fabulous beads lol! <br />
So any way, this is my main work area, you can see my kiln on the right, my ventilation in the middle and my lovely purple torch slightly to the right. As you can see there are lots of tools, scattered around as well as glass. On a side note, I drink a lot of water when I am torching, since the heat makes me thirsty lol. <br />

This is my glass. It is stored on these shelves by coe (co efficent) and then further organized by color. I will be honest, I can go downstairs and just enjoy looking at my glass. ( I have a hard and fast rule that I don't torch when I am tired, its dangerous and not worth the chance of burning myself badly. Don't ask me how I found this out lol) So on the days that I work I don't torch. So if I am really feel the pull to torch on those days, I will go down and do some pre torching color matching and designing. Lampworking helps me destress and relax and it makes me happy to make beautiful things. </div>

Please, have a look around our blog and check out the great lampworkers and the wonderful beads that they make that are a part of this group. Now you have a bit of an idea what at least one lampworker's space looks like!</div>

After months away from the torch the weather
is finally cooling down thanks to hurricane Sandy. I decided yesterday would be
the day I would light my flame and melt some glass. I turned on the kiln to
begin its warm up, brushed off the dried up leaves (dont ask) and the
cobwebs and dust from my bench, got the music playing, propped open the garage
door just enough to let in some fresh air but not be exposed to the wind gusts
outside. I made myself a yummy berry smoothie, turned on the fan and plugged in
the ventilation....... the time has come to torch! I turned on the
propane..........hissssssssssssssss! Oh no! I checked the regulator to make sure
it was screwed on tightly, turned the propane back on and hisssssssssssss! The
valve on the propane tank is leaking! *Heavy Sigh* aaaaand.......... thats a
wrap, shut it all down! :o/ I will live to fire up the torch another day! </div>

and spend alot of time on facebook advocating for them. My girl BB was
rescued at 8 weeks old, 1 day away from euthanasia, by a wonderful rescue called
A Second Chance Puppies and Kittens Rescue. I was thrilled and a little nervous to be invited to join
them at their Autumn Pawfest! I dont really do shows with my beads and jewelry
but for this cause I could'nt imagine saying no. Now I am busy gearing up for
this event, Im hoping to fire up my torch and get a few more beads made to
include in my booth so wish for some cool days and an active muse for me will
you?! If you happen to be in the area I would Love to meet you, maybe you'll end up with a furry critter or some glassy goodness!<br />

Sonja of <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/SilverRiverGlassWork" target="_blank">Silver River Glass Work </a>has been feeling the pressure at her day job, filling in for a co-worker which leaves precious little time for torching glass beads. So she has set some goals for herself. Sonja is concentrating on hollow beads and scroll work as a way to focus her flame sessions! Great idea Sonja and the results are lovely:<br />
