I visited Argentina
in September 2005 and was absolutely amazed by some of the glasswork that
my aunt and her husband were doing. The earrings shown on this page for example
were created using Vitro Fusion, a method of melting glass together at temperatures
reaching 812 degrees Celsius (or 1,493.6 degrees Fahrenheit for those of
us in the states!) When I saw these pieces, I immediately thought "These
would do great on e-Bay!" So, that is exactly what I did. I brought
these back and put them on e-Bay. Needless to say, there were plenty of others
here in the states that found these as attractive as I do and they sold very
quickly. Due to the positive feedback we received, I am planning another
trip back to Argentina in 2006 in order to bring back some more. {more}
