Really nice wavy beads Liz.
Marcel, I lovelovelove that you sandblasted that. It's awesome.
Nice work Brit! The beads look so pretty in the sun.

Great work everyone. I really like that marble Rebecca.
My out of oxygen pendant lived. It seems lonely in the kiln by itself, guess I should get back to work.
I'm hoping some of the colors strike a bit more in the kiln.

Thanks Gary. Good on you for saving the pendant! I usually give things a waterbath if I run out of propane.
Todda, I don't know if you meant me? If so, it's turbo amethyst over china white. If you didn't mean me, never mind. lol

Thanks everyone. Its one of my first boro pieces that actually turned out looking like something it was suppose to.
Wonderful beads and pendants everyone.Love what you all have been up to.
Liz I love those combo's.
Marcel that is just plain cool.
Brat pretty beads pink is my favorite colors.
Rebecca beautiful marble and when you run out of propane don't give it a water bath put it in the kiln and let it cool with everything else then the next time you torch bring it back up to temp with the kiln and finish it. I have one to finish tomorrow. it was about half done when I ran out last weekend.
Gary love the pendant.

Todda, I used a green exotic / plum crazy mix over Asian white for petals and GA chocolate crayon over the same for the dots over the petals. The shop I buy supplies from got the Asian white recently. It's so extremely cheap I had to try it. It's not bad.
It does feel great when things look the way you planned Sharyl. Good job.

Great orange color in that flower pendant, but it looks like you're pressing too hard and not letting gravity and heat do their work. That comes with practice, I still don't get it right every time. I also far prefer it when the pistils of the flower are small, almost whisker thin, so that's what I aim for.

Cool work Marcel. I like the bears the best.
Thanks for the advice Chris. I need to experiment with the layering also. That was the first "cool" technique I learned and have only done it differently a couple of times.
I'm loving tubing implosions now. I was lucky enough to be shown in person what I was doing wrong. Now it's the only thing I want to do. Here's one more.
I should have a vortex waiting for me when I get home. I hope it turned out exchange worthy.

I am using the Bead Seperator from Frantz and I never had any trouble with it.
But boro isn't what I am working usually... But every time I made boro beads, everything was fine with the seperator.

Love the orange pendant Gary! I usually boil orange til there's nothing but bubbles. Could you do me a favor and press the enter button after each of your pictures? You're messing with my screen dude. 
Marcel, I loooove the paperweight. Great shape.
Very cool Candice!
I have another marble (PPP) and a button (or two).
