I like it. I also like the boro swirl pendant. It is definitely a keeper.

I have an idea... why don't we edit the title and make it a month long show and tell. I certainly won't mind seeing these for a month.

Funny! We posted at the exact same time...since "we" mere mortals cannot edit the title of threads, and this one appeared to be finished - although there IS some awesome work - I started a NEW SHOW!!

Actually, it is also out of compassion for folks like me who live in the forest with no high-speed - those picture-heavy, month-long threads get really long to load - and reload!

I was merging and renaming whiole you were posting... weird. Sorry for the merge, I was just trying to be helpful. I'm sure dial up sucks. In the future, I'll keep 'em seperate if that's what people want.

What about a 1st and 15th of the month show and tell...bi-monthly? That way, people that are on dial up won't have to wait as long to load plus, if it gets too long, some peeps may not add to the thread, thinking most people have already seen the S&T. I dunno, just an idea

Great work so far everyone!
Cher i just love the colours you got out of those beads
Bonny what colour did you use for that heart? It's beautiful.
Here are a couple from me, The first one is just using silver fume
and clear . The second is a frit blend I bought awhile ago. I love
using frit for implosions and I find it's a great way to learn implosions
because you are not drawing every dot on but can just focus on
watching how the glass implodes(sp?).
Keep it coming guys!
Ash

The brighter discs are NS Egyptian White Sands encased w/ Double Amber Purple (or EWS/DAP for short) and the other ones are Tequilla Sunrise from GA.

Thank you everyone for the compliments!!! I really appreciate them!
