and yes, i AM affiliated... I've picked up a hobby recently in doing lampworked beads, in Moretti glass, and not long ago made a bunch of really nifty hot pepper beads, mostly cayenne-lookign petters and habs, a few thai dragons in there, and one sadly misshapen jalapeno that didn;'t turn out at ALL like i wanted it to... if people are interested in these, they're small and lightweight enough to be earrings, not more than a few grams each, and I'd be willing part with thewm for the cost of the glass, not more than 50 cents to a dollar each depending on size. I've got about 15 little cayennes, 6 good looking habs, three thai dragons, and that poor lone jalapeno which i may just keep, to remind myself of how bad a pepper can turn out when you sculpt it in glass. Really, it's kind of charmingly bad. ANYway. If you want to see pics, mail me offlist, and I'll send those out after I get home from work and have access to my pictures again.
