Sarabella-gorgeous pendant!! Love the magnifying clear and the contrast between flower and swirls!! WOW!!


Hi Lori--
I have some experimental rods that sound like the same thing. When you hold it up to the light do you see a glint of pink(it's not actually pink but reflects pink..)? It works similar to Silver Aqua but slightly different
Anyhoo, very yummy results Lori!! can't wait to see the pics!!

Thanks Denise and Carrie! I seem to gravitate towards "organic" beads - I guess I don't have the whatever-it-takes for dots or squiggles beads. Gotta be good at something! I start a glassblowing class next week at a local college ... wish me luck!

Carrie, I am in such awe of your rings. Mine aren't fit to be shown yet.
Here is some of my DAP beads. They are slowly getting better. That dreaded PPP.

Renee, I love those beads and the silver in be/ really 'makes' the set I think. May I ask where you got those?

Mary, you might be a 'newbie' but those are fantastic. Nice job and keep on posting!

Thanks Carrie! I bought the spacers from www.deepwoodart.com and they are silver ceramic spacers. I really like them because the holes are big enough to go on a chain, and they are light weight. She carries different shapes and I like them all.

Weemary, those are beautiful, keep up that good work! I already posted these in the soft gallery, but I'm proud of them so here goes: Here are my first octopus and first seahorse, and a turtle set I did for a fellow lamper. Thanks!

Hi Ellie, I'm not! Managing to get it in the UK, I mean, apart from Martin's clear. I've bought from the States. I think Q is planning on getting some, he wants to do marbles. And there is a new seller doing it on eBay, Cupcake. Did you get anything fun made from the tubing?

Pretty DAP beads Renee - keep 'em coming! Love the octpus and other sea creatures Patrice. LOL Val, so pollen is not a secret ingredient to your gorgeous colors?

I played with stormy weather and the bottom and the top struck but the middle of this pendant stayed the rod color. cool. my husband likes this one and he hardly ever comments on my glass anymore cause he's so use to seeing it. so it's a keeper

Ya'll make such pretty stuff!! I finally get to add to this thread! I've been playing around seeing what colors do and have ended up with quite a little stash! I think I'm getting a little better at not creating mud!
