And so it starts :) We arrived fairly early the bulk of the crowd seemed to arrive from 11:00 am on. Jed and Julie from Double Helix Glass http://www.doublehelixglassworks.com/ were doing a lot of business with the spectacular glass they create. I was so excited to find they were sharing sample rods of their new glass "Psyche" can't wait to play with that!!
Oh what a mess we all made at the weigh it and mark it table!
The coveted Vetrofond odd lots!! I cannot believe I even got a clear shot of this area as it was packed with people most of the time we were there.
Outside looking in, thats the crowd I am talking about :)

We had a fantastic time at the Bash. I met some new people and learned some fabulous new techniques I can't wait to try. The weather was amazingly perfect, not too hot, just nice and sunny. I got to hang out with my family and some wonderful friends Teresa and Gary and their son Alan. They came over from Spokane just for this event~ I almost wish it was a two day event one just doesn't seem like enough :)

Yesterday Matt and I drove out to Frantz Art Glass. My dad gave me gift certificate for my birthday and what better way to spend it than on the vetrofond odd lot glass in the picture below. Yum!!! In descending order they are Bananna Cream, Lemon Ice, Orange Sherbet, River Rock and an assortment of Poppy. I can't wait to melt some! I also picked up some of the ASK colors because they looked so pretty lying in their boxes~
Then there are the staples Coral, Dark Ivory, Sky Blue, Periwinkle and a few others not seen here~
What a glorious way to spend a beautiful day~ It took us a little over three hours including my shopping, I am sooo indecisive :) Matt is so very patient, while I perused the glass he was dropping other goodies in my basket, a new tool that was on my list (How did he know? I didn't tell him I wanted it) a license plate frame that says "Plays with Fire" and a couple of other things. It was fun, especially when we got home and I sorted the glass into my bins~ Can't wait for next week when I have torch time.
Have a great Day!
