Absolutely beautiful Paula. I agree with Suzanne, that first one looks painterly.

Paula, your pendants are fab. Great color, wow!!! Renee I really like that second set with the pendant and matching beads. Nice! Here is a purple juju dagger talisman from me. Hmmm attracting purple juju must be a good thing?

Hi renee - no, today's bead is not encased -though most of them usually are - I just think the reds and purples to better without the clear.

Hi all-
Had a wonderful demo from Pipyr and thought I would try it. But somehow?? I got lots of little bubbles and the frit didn't flower out- it looks more like a brain! What did I do wrong? Or do you like the brain look? (LOL)
Nancy- I love that bead and all the rest in this thread. Great work and I have so much to learn.

The flower is my first attempt at sculpture. I used garnet and caramel for the center dots and a green something that is supposed to change a lot for the leaves. It all came out as dark red! What on earth did I do wrong here?? I kinda like it...but it is not at all what I was trying for.

Wow! What great work everyone. I just found the boro page thanks to Paula mentioning it in another thread. I'm so at home now. Nancy, all I can say is that again I still want to own every bead that I see of yours. This page will help my day's when I can't get in the studio because of my dads health. I am new at posting but I will load some pics soon. Thanks again for the pleasure of looking at all your great work. Paula, I just ordered some of your frit and I cant wait to get it and use it. Flame on!!!!!!!!!!
