^^ nice!!
borobars are hit or miss with me. some of them seem to be great and not prone to boiling, some i can't even work with.

is the pink one "uber blush" or that new pinkish color they have?

Thank you. It is the blush, the cream color is Tusk Ivory. These two heated fairly smooth. I bought six colors, four to go (fingers crossed). Pink, tangerine, lobster and a blue I can't recall which blue at the moment.

Thank you! I feel kinda lame when I see all the other good stuff made with boro. But I love making these wavy beads.

Default bead photographs

Those beads are beautiful. And I have to say also EXTREMELY well photographed!!! I can never get good pictures. Any chance you'd be willing to share how you photographed them so well? No worries, if not, just thought I'd ask in case.... Lovely beads either way!

Yup... Not a problem. I'm making beads right now, but I'll come back in a bit with another pic of my set up.

Paula, love those colors. Shawnette, terrific sculpting!
Istandalone, those are terrific implosions. Nice bunch of work.
Diana, very pretty fuming.
Donna, those are beautiful. I will say I love that kind of bead too, and they were some of the first things I tried when I got my boro (recently). I want to ask how long those beads take you to make? Mine were not large, and it seemed to take FOREVER. I tend to twirl like it is soft glass, which I have been working on. But it seemed to take a long time, like 20-25 minutes each or something like that. I have an alpha and M20.

I can do 15 - 20 in an hour. I use the center fire of a Barracuda and an M15.
