Lampwork Cricket Torch

This is a picture of the Gtt Cricket Torch that everybody is raving about. It is very efficient with fuel and oxygen. You can even custom order it in different colors. You can use it on a 5LPM, and also the larger Oxygen concentrators. It works, ever better I suspose, as I do not have one YET!! After visiting the site, I see that it is still on Inductory price for $139.00 The site is here http://www.glasstorchtech.com/torches.html , so sure hope I can get one before they go up to the $167.00 price. Christmas after all, is right around the corner.
The torch is a surface mix, with 5 jets. I seen one, when I was in Cape Coral, for a lampworking session. You can make a very small pin point flame with this torch quite easily. I can easily see this torch replacing the Nortel Minor, as an industry standard for the first step up, from a Hot Head. Some have claimed as far as efficiency, this torch has outperformed the Betta, and Paranha. I even read in a blog somewhere, where somebody stepped down from a 7 jet torch, the Bobcat, to this oxygen efficient Torch. SANTA, Please don't forget me this Christmas!!!

Lampwork Bead Set

Here is just a short post showing some eye candy. It is a new set of straight sided Lentils, made with Brown, and then I used a mint, and pink frit blend. It has been a challenge learning to use the lentil press. Not for the faint of heart. But as they say, practice practice practice. PPP You can view them on Etsy at FiredancerBeads.etsy.com

Still on vacation, Adding the Cricket Torch to my Christmas List

Just a quick note, to let you all know that I am still on vacation, in Oakland Nebraska. This wonderful little community, was rated 38th best town to raise a family. by Business Week Magazine. I did have a Gallery pick up some of my work.And the local newspaper featured me, with an article about my Glass Artistry. The art Gallery is called Creative Collection. When I get back to Florida, I will post some pics, and more information. My Etsy site, is on vacation for now. I will have to get back on the Torch as soon as I return, I have some custom orders, I have picked up, while traveling. I saw on Lampwork etc. today, that the GTT Cricket Torch is about to go off the inductory, sale price. Many are raving about this New Torch compared to the nortel Minor, or nortel mega minor. They say it is much more fuel efficent, and works better on the smaller oxygen concentrators. It's all the RAVE, and I hope Santa remembers me this year. For now, I am still on a Hot Head, and it takes forever for me to complete my custom orders.
