10/14/08 Due to rising costs, I've had to start charging shipping for frit and shards. Shipping is based on the weight of the frit in its jar,
I no longer directly accept American Express, but I believe that it is possible to pay with American Express via Paypal.--Gail (2/14/08)

3/30/07 I'm thrilled to heartily endorse Fosterfire's new bead release Smooth & Tuff, and announce that I will soon be selling it on my site! It is creamy and smooth, works beautifully with my veiled cane, boro, and presses, and still releases the beads from the mandrels with little effort after annealing!

**For my jewelry customers, I've finally taken photos of my in-stock bracelets, and hope to get photos of my remaining necklaces and earrings. Hopefully, I'll keep up with the process so as to keep updating as I design new pieces!
2/14/07 Happy Valentine's Day! I've finally received all of my glass back from Tucson, and will be updating my store inventory over the weekend. Please be sure to check out my new coe 104 blends...They were a big hit at The Best Bead Show! The Zanfirico was also quite popular. Be on the lookout for a tutorial by Starleen Colon in the next Glass Line magazine which clearly demonstrates how to pull small pieces into beautiful twisted stringers. I'll also be posting some photos of her gorgeous beads.

10/9/06 I've finally put together a limited number of sample packs of my new COE 104 frit blends. Each pack has .3 oz of each of the twelve blends in your choice of all fine or all coarse. Shipping is included in the price.
9/1/06 Introducing the newest addition to the GG Glass collection......COE 104 frit blends!!! These blends are made from coe 104 frits such as Vetrofond, Effetre, Lauscha and Creation is Messy, and are completely compatible with your COE 104 glass. Yes.....You can load it on, layer it, go crazy....it is COE 104!!!! All photos shown (as of Sept. 1) are of the "coarse" blends. These blends are available in Fine or Coarse...but I won't have photos of the "Fine" versions until this weekend. As with my other frit, shipping is included in the price.
8/25/06 Please take a look at my newest cane, GG "Duos". I'm so excited to bring you this new, COE 96 cane which I've made. Instead of the "normal" clear core, color layer and then outer casing, this cane has two more layers. There is an inner core of clear, a layer of color, a casing of clear, ANOTHER color, then a final casing of clear. Frankly, I love just LOOKING at the cane, but when you melt it, you'll get a beautiful whispy swirl of both colors in your bead. Of course, this cane is completely compatible with all of my frit and frit blends!
