    Actually it isn't something for me personally, but glass project ideas I'd be willing to pass on to someone.  It would be for their benefit of proven glass products which won't make them rich, but sure could make them money from their hobby. Years ago some egger's wife made really cool personalized spoon rests, Christmas tree ornaments and even small refrigerator magnets for me and we love them!

    I'll be glad to send pictures, but for some artsy types these objects of ours could just be a springboard!  

    Some years later @Mickey liked the idea as well and thought he had someone lined up down there in TX, but that fell through.

    My high school football coach and his son run a nonprifit Hot Glass Inc, where all proceeds go to Veterans and underserved youth.

    Their pumpkins and Christmas ornaments are awesome.  Will do a class with the boy at some point, would be a blast.  Jewelry and Metals was my favorite class in high school, my teacher(same guy) was great.
