No-one likes general adverts, and ours hadn't been updated for ages, so we're having a clear-out and a change round to make the new ones useful to you. These new adverts bring in a small amount to help pay for the board and keep it free for you to use, so please do use them whenever you can, Let our links help you find great books on glass or a new piece for your collection. Thank you for supporting the Board.

Or you could ask Linda to buy you a pair of cufflinks as a present (if you can find them).
Like the ones shown here.

 :) It sounds as if they're much more Mark Hill's style than yours Keith.

However, a good while ago, I found a pair of earrings with glass cabochons. Not Caithness, but Bohemian, they had a very Monart-like colourway, with blobs of a deep bluey-grass green (Monart green) and aventurine, which I had made into cufflinks for my smart, shirt-wearing brother.
Some of us simply cannot do "smart" and should never be forced to try.

Me too. ;D
No point ever, in wearing something that needs ironed. It crumples in despair before I even get it on.  ::)

Christine told me about them.  ;D
Christine knows lots of interesting and strange stuff - more than just about glass. :)

An iron is a glass-making tool used on a golf course.

It's a bit like the pontil that is left on the base of much American-made glass.
