Dragon Head
I was experimenting with sculpture last night but only managed to make the dragons head. Time consuming to get the coloring by using 3 different frits on a clear rod.

Getting better at vortex pendants. Still need to tighten up the center. Would appreciate any hints/tips to do that.

Two views.

beautiful undersea paperweight Laura, too bad about the crack, but it will make a lovely addition to your personal collection.

No reason to be scared, just ends up a blob on the table if it doesn’t work out. I call that experience.
Thanks all.
This is my favorite place on LE. I always go here first.
It is great to see the growth of all who post here knowing what it was like when I made my first beads along with all the frustration that comes with learning. Especially when you think you have no artistic talent.
Not to mention, it's fun to melt things!
