Now I haven't gone as far as joining the Spam Fan Club, but there was something calling to me to make the can of classic Spam into a a lampwork glass focal bead.
I admit, I ate it once in a while when I was a kid. It was what a lot of kids ate along with Tang, the drink that Astronauts took to the Moon.
And I understand that Spam is served in Hawaii pretty often too. I say, good for them, if they enjoy it.
But for me, I just made it because it makes me smile whenever I look at it.
Hopefully this Spam bead makes you smile too.
ps, don't forget, when writing on glass, case your stringer with transparent glass, so there's more separation between the letters.
See you tomorrow!
cute! I haven't tried writing on a bead, but thanks for the tip on encasing first. I will have to remember that if I ever do try it.
ReplyDeleteCompletely hilarious! It is a popular food up here in Alaska too. Me? I never touch the stuff!

ReplyDeleteSeriously deeeelish! :)
Love that bead! It reminds me of my childhood when we, as a family, ate a lot of Spam. It was poor people's food. I love it, and thanks for the reminder about the the casing of the stringer. That makes all the difference.
