Wickedglass' marbles are making me wish I had the patience (okay, and the skill) to make marbles! Just amazing!

Caliglassguy, yep, Midnight Hour is in the Hot Flash frit shop. Thanks for asking!

also, there is a "dark room" forum here in LE, the photo problem comes up a lot among people who aren't computer gurus. Check out this post to start, automatic image resizing programs make your life easier almost instantly. Make sure you read my first post, and the ones after that, the rest of the thread contains a lot of valuable information but it's definitely more technical & you may not need or be comfortable with that.

Dave, I'd say you're getting the hang of the hotter torch pretty darned well! Love the vortex.

Just some basic frit beads from me.
My Hippie Chick frit melted over a rod of Amazon Bronze and pulled down.

Yet-to-be-named frit over Irrid.

Hippie Chick over Pomegrante.
Love the frit blends ....the yet to be named one over irid brought visions of the Carribean to mind.....Carribean Rhapsody....Carribean Beach Party....lol ....I'm sure you will come up with a great creative name ....just my 2 cents worth

that's kind of scary! Try as I might I can't get my eyes to look scary enough ... not scary enough for me that is, some people, who look at them, walk away disconcerted! That one's a doozie, Morgan, I really like it!

Morgan, nice dragon! Love the red eye.

I've got frit beads. I know, it's a surprise.






Sorry for hogging! I won't have as much torch time this week and am out of town next weekend (running my first marathon!) so I figured I'd post these all at once.

You guys are doing some great pieces this month. I have been away from the torch all month and it looks like I won't be getting back for another week or so. I am away from my computor so I am accessing this sight with my phone, just not the same on a small screen. The skulls are great and really loving darth. I have been looking around for different faces too. Have a great day me glassy friends.
