Exclamation Sickly Twisted Twisties !!!

Those that know me well, know that I cannot stand to waste glass. I don't
throw away even the smallest piece. I've been torching over 8 years
now, and my tiny waste bucket isn't even half full yet.

Anyway, when making twisties, there is a by-product produced that I call
bulbs. The bulbs are produced at the point the tweezers grasp the glass
just before I start pulling and twisting.
Here's a couple examples:

Well, I decided to experiment with them, and here's what happened:

This process makes these Twisties much more organic. Their colors may or may
not be consistent from end to end (most will not be), and their diameter may
not be quit as consistently laid out as my "normal" Twisties (although most
are), but they are fabulously fun.

I currently have these available in my Etsy Shop. I have Seafoam, Pink, Green,
and Fiesta, ~ with Autumn and Blue coming soon.

It takes a lot of scraps to make these, so once this batch is gone, it will be quite
a while before more will be made. So get them while you can !!

How cool! I, also, cannot stand to waste any glass. It's always amazing how much you can get from just a "smidgen".
Hope you're still making these when I can get some.
Happy creating,
ginger
