ZINES, NEWSLETTERS, ETC. I have been receiving a lot of requests from individuals having zines, on-line newsletters, etc., asking me to sponsor for them. These zines are listed on our Teens page. These are very nice publications done by teenagers and I really recommend checking them out. These are some very talented kids here and I am proud to be included as a sponsor in their publications. These people have done a lot of work with them.

GLASSWORK and DRAGONS.I am getting back into my glasswork right now and I expect to have an good inventory of candle holders, nite-lites, etc. I'm doing some dragons right now out of metal and glass and they are looking pretty good. They'll be up in the website also around January 11. I'll be putting together a lot of dragons (pewter) with stones (amethyst, etc.) and I will have those up by the end of February. I intend on having a page devoted to my dragons.
