I am a glass artist located in Madison, WI.

Just spent two episodes of Doctor Who cleaning beads. My inner geek is satisfied and my fingers are pruny.

Okay, sooo... consensus is that adding the feathers is an adorable bonus, next question... hide the thread as much as possible, or accept that thread exists and go with the flow? I mean, I can buy a spool of thread in every color to make it less obvious, but... I'd rather just do black and maybe white and save the rest of my money for feathers in every color of nature plus lots of unnatural colors, too! Watch the video, share your opinions.

Next up, now that I've had a bit of practice, this guy gets feather floofies on his tail and antennae!

When I took the fly tying class, the instructor said, with a bit of a smirk, 'the first fishing flies were tied by nobility, and they had servants hold the hook in their hands while it was being tied. Today, we use these vises, which is a much more stable system.'

I want a servant to hold this stupid thing, because no fly tying vise ever made will hold a glass invisible mouse at the proper angle to get feather floofies added to its tail.

Not having had the opportunity to have someone hold a mouse still for me while I accessorize it, I can only imagine.
