Well, my idea is that the organizer makes a final list that we all use, that has about 10 or 15 things on it. Then from that list, you can choose what 5 (or more) things you want to use. Does that sound good to everyone?

 I think someone said this earlier, but we could have a list of about 10 things and you can pick 5 things off the list to use. That way if you can't really use one of them, you still have others to pick from. Just an idea. Let me know what you think.
                                               

Thanks jonnamarco! The info is great.

Thank you so much for all that info! It helped a lot. So by cheap, how much do you mean(the torches)? Thanks again

 Thanks for the link Diane! I was referring to one of the things I saw on her website, not the pendant pictured when I was talking about the mokume gane. And thanks Zarbelli for the the link you gave me, too! 

Wow, sounds awesome. I would love to join, but I've never done a swap before. Anything I need to know? This sounds great! Great idea, too.
                         

 ok, I'm totally new to this, and was wondering how much a rod of glass costs and how many beads you can make with it. And how much would a torch cost? I would love to learn to do this and it looks so awesome. Thanks!

Hey Zarbelli,
     Those are beautiful! I love all your stuff! I was wondering if maybe you could post a tutorial for the mokume gane. I have been looking for tutorials that i actually understand but can't quite find one... Anyway, that would be awesome!
                                 Thanks

Oh cool! I can't wait to see it! My dog just had puppies so my dad got some cute pictures(he does photography on the side.) They are so much fun!

Wow flyleaf! did you say you were 11? That's amazing. Could you post a tutorial of what you did? I would love to make something like that.
                                             thanks!
