I totally owe the sparkle to Mr. Smiley. That is Lochness, I think it's northstar. You just need a very little bit, combined with other glasses. A small stripe or 2 goes a long way.
There are some other sparklie colors that I use as well like the obtainums and unobtanium. But lochness has the most sparkle.And thanks for the compliment, these are a lot of fun to make.

I come in here and my eyes tend to pop every time. You guys rock. An inspiration for we boro beginners. I'm all excited as well because my Darlin ordered me a new Lynx! My Mega Minor is ok for the soft stuff but I'd like to make something bigger than an inch. lol Anyway, it should be here in a week.

I was trying a little implosion..........again.....sigh. So it wound up being a marble. I think I"m just impatient and end up smooshing them.

One heart I made Friday. I didn't get decent pics of the other 2.


And a gaggle of stone pendants I made. I needed 2 for my grand-daughters for Christmas presents. I got carried away...

I am so glad to see so many people exploring boro... it's a wonderful glass and you've done some very nice things with it. I enjoy looking at soft glass too, but my first love will always be the boro show and tell. You guys rock!

Very nice! I have been trying these for years, and haven't even gotten close to this. My best ones look like mushrooms, and my worse ones look like mushrooms.....that have already been through the pig.

Pretty pretties!

My humble marble... I recycled a couple of glass crochet hooks that didn't sell then played with imploding the mess a little.

I've been so busy the last month, but I've always peeked in here to see what was going on. I finally got back to the torch last week. I have my standard pink that I love and some new cubes.
