September Show and Tell
 

Guess I'll start it off....

Some hearts fresh from the kiln this morning. :D
this next pic is other side of same heart the end :D

Beautiful colours! is that purple sable? Well done.

Look at those colors! Nicely done!

Two from yesterday.

Beautiful implosions Vira! :D

Thanks bro!

Cali ... rockin the colors on the hearts. I love making hearts but they just don't sell where I live ... so I avoid them.

Vira ... both are beautiful but really love the pink flower!! stunning.

Vira, those are stunning! Beautiful work!

And two from yesterday.

Wow, gorgeous! It looks REAL! :)

Thanks all. Much appreciated. I'm feelin' the love. :)

some from yesterday

Some peices that i made last night decided to start trying to make ornaments. These are my first trys. Sorry for the horrible pictures.

Dragon Head
 

I was experimenting with sculpture last night but only managed to make the dragons head. Time consuming to get the coloring by using 3 different frits on a clear rod.

I love everything i see :)
Here is a peyote stitched cross i made about
10 years ago and a paperweight i made last week.

and a totem sculpture.

Hey, Vira, cool marbles, drop in next time you are on the Island.

Getting better at vortex pendants. Still need to tighten up the center. Would appreciate any hints/tips to do that.

melt the tip very, very slowly with a smaller flame - then crank it up

Some more ornaments i made made a bad color choice on the last one

September is looking fabulous for all us glassies. And Bernie i have been intending to get down there to see you for ages! I need to talk glass with someone.

Thank you! I will give it a try today.

i've been trying to figure out how to tighten up the vortex ends myself...thanks for the tip.

Have a boardwalk art show this weekend. Here is a paperweight I was really happy with ... until I saw the checking in the area of the seaweed. Carp ... one for my collection!!

Two views.

beautiful undersea paperweight Laura, too bad about the crack, but it will make a lovely addition to your personal collection.

Been working on pulling things together.

OOOH Dave, LOVE the fish!!...missing Fl tonight

those aquatic sculptures are great!
i'm too scared to try sculpture.

Finally put the soft glass away so I could play with my boro again - I love boro!

A flower...

And both sides of a new focal:



I'm off to go turn on the kiln and play some more!

I will be spending some time with an ex-Floridian next week, Brent Graber.

No reason to be scared, just ends up a blob on the table if it doesn’t work out. I call that experience.

Thanks all.

This is my favorite place on LE. I always go here first.
It is great to see the growth of all who post here knowing what it was like when I made my first beads along with all the frustration that comes with learning. Especially when you think you have no artistic talent.

Not to mention, it's fun to melt things!
