The focus of our
February Meeting was the borosilicate demo by Brent Graber but before
this started we had announcements, a short presentation of some featured items
from our resource cabinet, the lottery for the Lisa St Martin class and
the drawing for the bead challenge which were Purple Hearts to be donated to
Beads of Courage.
Among other
announcements, co-president Diane Kovach thanked Gerry White for letting
us use Beads by Design for our meetings, requested nominations for Board
positions and asked or Tips and Techniques to be shared with members at meetings
and on the SF Website.

Our librarian,
Martha Fuerst, showed us 2 new items just added to our Resource
Cabinet. She is holding two infinite ring graphite marble molds
which were still wrapped to protect them and she also showed us large
and small petal mashers. All of these items are available for loan
by Southern Flames members for a period of a month.

Member
Melanie Robbins was wearing a striking lampwork and beaded necklace
in winter blues and whites - unfortunately the photos do not do the
piece justice. Maybe she will wear it again.

Courage Program in Childrens Hospital of Atlanta. All of the
