Pipyr those are incredible, and I sooo love your haircolor ( picture on website)

Thanks so much, girls!! I have lots of color ideas coming to me. The one that sold is actually blue moon with silver seaweed spin trailing. Not what I expected, but I was so happy with him!

I actually had the same problem with the hair color fading. I just went to the hairdressers and had my hair dyed a more natural red and it's driving me nuts because it's too boring for me. I'm going to have cherry colored streaks put in on Friday...

I don't post often, but trust me, I'm drooling whenever I visit this place....I wanna be like you all when I grow up!
The fire gods looked favorably on me this past weekend. I actually made some beads that were acceptable to me. I think I finally figured out that I was trying to work too big. These were made with Spring Luster over a pale peach base, rolled in Paula's NT1 frit, and encased. I can still find things wrong with them, but they're close to what I want....well, as close as I'm going to get right now

Eric dichro agrees with you. Cant decide which one I like best.

Honest to God, I wish I could say! It's a sickness, I tell you...I just grab a few rods from my table - melt, twist and play...more times than not, I don't keep notes, 'though I've always got the very best of intentions!

Not stone-walling here - it's just the way it is - true addiction and Zen!

Finally something decent for me to share!!
some hearts for v-day (thanks smiley for the tut - i have been practicing!)

my bad news is that I made a kick ass 2" marble vortex/dichro in class a week ago friday - I was very excited!! I showed up to class this past fri night and it was gone. nada. STOLEN!!!! The Monday teacher said she took it out of the kiln and it was nice. I was so upset/mad/pissed! I worked 2 1/2 hrs on that thing!! I realize it probably shouldn't take that long, but i worked hard!!

Anyhow - I drool a lot at all your great work but haven't had anything to share lately. These are pretty OK!

Toni

Ah, that sucks Toni! A 2" marble is a lot of work, and it doubly sucks that you never even got to hold it. Hopefully, someone will feel guilty and return it.

Sorry you had something taken. I had that happen, too. It stinks, but what can you do?

WOW, cool stuff everyone. The colors are popping out everywhere! I finally went to propane heat and can't WAIT to try it out.

Here are a couple of hearts, made with Brents tutorial. The loop is pretty cool. It lets the heart hang straight up and down. The first one is sold











I am having SO much fun with these hearts...thanks again Brent You are the bestest!

Yeah it sucks, but you're right - there's nothing I can do. I have asked the teacher if we can have our stuff put in the cabinet instead of left out - but the whole class needs to agree on that.

I really need to learn how to use my new camera - the pictures don't really do the colors in those photos much justice.

Krissa the last one is my favorite - love the colors

Nate Miers http://eyecandyarts.com/bio.htm is going to be in Los Angeles doing a marble show in March - and a 1 day class! I was able to get in and am very excited, albeit a little nervous. What a dork, huh?

All the colors are making my mouth water!!!!! YUM! The oxy people didn't deliver my tank like they were supposed to yesterday (I'll forgive them...I love me oxy people!!) so it really forced me to finish up some pieces that I've had in-process for a while now. Still have more waiting for finishing touches, but it sure feels good to have some DONE! All have PMC except for the first creature...he's all glass and he's a lot more purple than the picture shows. First time I've had a problem getting my camera to catch the color right...humph!











This has been a wonderful showcase!!!!!!!
