		<title>Marbles again</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Finally managed to sit down for a couple of hours yesterday and make some marbles &#8211; this is the only one I&#8217;m happy-ish with; it&#8217;s the first I&#8217;ve taken time over for some time, and the petals turned out quite nice, although there&#8217;s a lot of trapped air in there &#8211; going to have to [...]]]></description>

		<title>More Bracelets</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Battery charged! And on we go&#8230; And, that&#8217;s it so far. Some of these are going up to Mugdock Gallery (tomorrow, I think), and a couple may end up on Etsy. I&#8217;m off to get some more torch time&#8230;]]></description>

		<title>A slight hiatus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Egads, but it&#8217;s been a long time since I put anything up here! Well, since a year ago, we&#8217;ve moved premises, and we&#8217;re trying to do more making now &#8211; I need to spend some time at the torch, and try to reclaim all the hand skills that have been atrophying over the Spring and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Orchids again!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Scottish Glass Society held an auction to raise some cash, and asked for donations. It so happened that I was starting a kind of experimental sculpture-y thing in boro, and I decided I would donate it for the auction if it came out ok. Well, it started as a big marble, including some experimental [...]]]></description>

		<title>Up to our Eyeballs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s a couple of weeks since we came back from Stourbridge, and I was full of good intentions, to sit down at the torch, and put some serious hours in practicing what I have learned. All that went out the window when we got in to the studio, with a mountain of orders to catch [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8230;and then, it was all over&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, after a couple of days writing here &#8216;as it happened&#8217;, it occurred to me that what I was finding exciting and inspirational was probably coming across as a bit dull to the casual reader. So, I decided to save it all up and let you have it in one big chunk, piccies and all. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lampworking, lampworking&#8230;.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The first full day with Gianni, and we are moving on apace. Gianni showed various techniques for making cane, making wings for butterflies, fairies and the like, and making detailed heads for characters. He is using the class time to build a sculpture of a glassblower, but in between showing how he builds these components, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Butterflies, and other things&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, we got here in the end. Yesterday was a travel day, and like all travel days for us, it started at about 5:30am. At least, for me, it did; Gillians capacity for sleeping through a deadline never ceases to amaze me&#8230; Anyway, to cut a long story short, we packed the car with enough [...]]]></description>

		<title>What&#8217;s it all about?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hmm. Good question. Well, we&#8217;ve been so tied up over the last year-and-a-bit (or so) with Off-Mandrel.com, and the glass and tools supply side of things, that actually making our own stuff has rather fallen by the wayside. And that&#8217;s what we got into all this for originally. So, after a few people telling me [...]]]></description>
