I tried out the tutorial in the newbie thread for one of Don's hearts....here is how it turned out...
It was a great tutorial, very easy to follow. Thanks Don!

Beautiful heart, Leslie - I've been making hearts too for Val Day. Here's one using the Parramore pink (nice and smooth and easy to use)... and a lentil...

Thanks, Leah. I am guessing here but I think it might have been: GA Blue Luster base, GA Amazon Jewel and GA Silver Strike 5 Frit and some NS Extra Light Yellow large frit on top of that and then striped diagonally with clear. It caught some really nice metallic luster - I always love when that happens!!

Loving all the goodies gang! Those blues and greens are super vibrant Leah, I really like those colors, I'm a sucker for cubes too, neato.

Here's my pride & joy for this past week..a whole set of blown boro spheres..appropriately named..
"Orbits"



While I'm at it here's a focal (blown of course)..
"Fire Garden"

Beau's incredible blown beads have inspired me to get my butt in gear and practise. I have a long way to go before I reach his level of talent. This was intended to be a bead, however, I went another direction...as you can see

Aw Pshaww.. Looks like you're on your way Heidi, it became a beautiful vessel instead of a bunch of shards in the can..that's always a good thing when it's worthy of the kiln and not the can...
