I just love making flowers on stainless steel rods.  Just add them to a salt and pepper shaker and have a cute little creation.  These are available at Midwest Lampwokers Guild's All Member Show at The Hot Shops on 13 & Nichols through October 26.  I am working Thursday the 16th.  Or join us for Art in the Bag 10/26 2-4.  www.artinthebag.com
