New Eye Jewelry!

New Beads!

I finally got a chance to play and try out some new stuff. I've been attempting to work out a rhyme and reason to color reactions dependent on base and reactive top color. Here's the newest Big Hole Beads from my play date with myself:

And here are my most recent jewelry experiments:

Today will be brief. I have been busy honing my skills at more sculptural work. Here are two bracelets incorporating some of the beads which resulted from this endeavor:

What a Month!

Since we had a massive systems change-over at work and our home came down with what was probably the most horrible flu ever, I haven't spent much time at the torch. I did manage to finally get back to it this week and I am quite proud of my recent work. I have been working on my 'feminine guiles' so to speak (in glass...there's no hope for guiles elsewhere!)

I like colors I can cook and cook and cook until they morph into something new. Pinks, whites, and purples do not like to be cooked. Most of them don't even want to be heated past a lampworker luke-warm. I hate them. My recent excursion into girly colors is teaching me a very important lesson in general heat control.

Ok, enough babble...here's some bead porn:
