Brent is a fantastic patient funny generous teacher and a lot of fun. You will learn so much about boro color and different techniques in a calm atmosphere -- if you ever have a chance to take a class from him, do not hesitate!!

Yes, I agree! I tried doing a couple of hearts a'la Mr. Smiley (with many thanks to Brent for his wonderful tut!) but none of them look quite like his! Of course I wasn't trying to make them EXACTLY like his because that is HIS signature design but it would have been nice if they had come anywhere near CLOSE to what he can do! LOL!!!! Oh well, must practice more.......must practice more.......must practice more.........

But here is my own contribution to the thread, it actually wasn't made in November but I did donate it to a silent auction on November 2 to raise funds for my equestrian club. So I'll take one for the team and be the person who has to follow Brent's wonderful act! Now all the rest of y'all can post too!

I'm going to get a little more mileage out of my Pandora beads.
(I posted them elsewhere, but can you tell I'm pretty happy with them?).

Mr. Smiley, your hearts are amazing!!! First one is my favorite but so hard to pick just one
Deb, I like the organic look to it!
Karen, so many nice ones! My favorite is from the first picture all the way on the left!

Here are a few from me after receiving a new glass order, no more using 4mm rods for pendants and marbles!!!

Mr Smiley-
I do believe you are not from this plant- you use your own special boro (no one else can buy) and you have special wizard powers to stun, dazzle and amaze your crowd.
Who are you? where do you come from and dang it please write a book on your secret powers from above! The prettiest smiley hearts yet!! Way to rock our world.

Great start so far! I love those little marbles!
I keep meaning to make some swirly styles.
I've got some heart envy!! My hearts these days just not turning out
I've got some marbles to share.



I am really going to have to play around with some more colours.
I just am so stuck on fuming!
Can't wait to see what November will bring in here!

Nice work everyone! Karen I don't believe I have ever seen any of your boro. Beautiful stash of cored beads! Here is a blown hollow from me. The little nubbins on top are the NS galactic dragon's fire experimental.

Lori, that bead is spectacular. It would be awesome as a paperweight or vase too.
