Her Name Naos aka Amber & she is HotHead Friendly!

“Naos” pronounced Amber Van Meter A.K.A. Zeta Puppis thus being Naos A.K.A. same name, different wiki page. I think?
The Zeta Puppis is an extreme blue supergiant, one of the brightest stars in the Milky Way. Visually she is 21,000 times more powerful than the Sun, casting strong shadows down upon your studio lore. Imagine though, if someone were to place her at the center of our Solar System with the intense heat that spreads out from her “Hot Head” could possibly vaporize ever so slowly your studio, your torch, your kiln, your electric and or battery operated bead-reamer the list goes on and on. Tell me now that this wouldn’t throw off your muse?
Things could be worse; apparently her magnitude of power could cause a refracted light that would blind a human in seconds, even with a welding mask on!
Quick go hide your rods of Cleo!

“After leaving a comet-like trail it would appear Naos happens to be 20 times the diameter of the Sun and shines 20,000 times brighter in the sky with an extremely powerful blue-white glow.” [Wasn’t me was wiki]
Within 2 million years, Naos will turn into a Class M5 red supergiant bigger than the orbit of the Earth and she will eventually explode into a supernova so powerful and bright that even at 1,400 light years she will appear much brighter than the full Moon and could collapse into a black hole.

ok so it's
Could this be the key do you think that in 2 million years Amber will still be sitting at her “Hot Head”?
Think about it, where does glass come from? I am willing to bet that Amber’s Beads will still be here in one shape or form as her beads are handmade thoroughly inspected for flaws or defects, properly kiln-annealed reducing the possibility of breakage due to internal stress.
Most importantly, all of this means her beads are not mass-produced and are of the highest quality she can achieve. Think hard, which beads will still be here in 2 million years.

Her avatar is daunting, her user name so serious, her email such a statement. Her willingness to share her knowledge within our community makes her one of the brightest stars on my list.

Note from the editor: On a more serious note.
When researching this article to promote Amber it was just so hard to find humor within this deep subject that means so much to us all. Mass Produced Beads a battle Amber has fought with many glass bead makers in our community.
