The Story:
Sharon Peters came to visit. (If you know who Sharon is, that should be enough said...) So, we were in my studio, happily torching side by side when she looses concentration (I have that effect on some people) and sticks her hand in the flame. She burns the bejeezers out of the skin between thumb and forefinger, and then has the audacity to blame it on my Creation Station, saying she wasn't used to the elbow rests.(Yeah, right. I thought you were a "professional", Sharon!)

So, once we get her slathered with aloe & lavender oil, we go back to playing. Torching is out for her for a while, so in order to keep her occupied, we agree to do a collaboration bead. Under her direction, I will make a bead. Hey, it works for Chihuly, right?

So, this is what happens when Sharon comes up with ideas, and Schermo carrys them out. I call it," The Alien from Alameda", 'cause that's where Sharon is from, and she's about as far out as they come....... Well, except maybe for me. We make a good pair.... but some really strange beads.
