3 favors
Ok I have 3 questions:
1. Why can't I get Blue Moon frit to work in an implosion? I've tried reducing, oxydizing, etc. It turns out greenish or pukish.
B. I know how to do an implosion, and a heart, but how do you do a heart implosion. I'm a little dense. 
5. I am pretty new, but got invited to put some stuff into a really popular home show in 7 days. Could anyone be so kind to give me any implosion recipes? I have the GA sample frit pack, and DAP, Blue Moon and Butterscotch. I've tried the dot thing but just doesn't look as good to me.
Thank you guys so much! I'm so excited to make some money!! Have a great day!

well, I can answer question B.
make an implosion pendent, hot punty up to one side, remove the rod and go from there to make your heart!
Can't answer the colors questions, I don't keep notes

1. Greens are usually what you get when you implode Blue Moon.
2. Already answered above...
3. Purple Luster, Butterscotch, Twilight Chameleon, Blue Moon, Aurora, Dark Multi... some of my favorites. I usually back all of them with black, just because black goes with anything.

Thanks for saying that. I'm getting into boro so this will help. Got to play with some at GlassDogs. He can make glass do what he wants in seconds. I'm still amazed at the stuff he can do. Thanks for the information. I will try that.

Thanks a lot! I keep expecting blue in blue moon, so it's good to know its not just me! Chad do all those suggested look fine imploded by themselves? I always think I need to mix frits together.

They will look fine by themselves. I hardly ever mix frits together. The good thing about striking colors is it will look like more than one color anyways.

Thank you so much for the no brainer implosion ideas. Now me and my WHOLE family (ds,3kids, 2 in-laws) have the flu. I was hoping to get as many pendants done by Fri for this show. So thanks for the easy ones -I really appreciate it!
