First boro bead, it is nicely shaped, and you got color. I would call that a big success! My first very first boro beads have a lot of poopy colors....

Wahoo.. Great bead... I like to use Natural outdoor light but it is fun, sometimes to play in the sun. Particularly evening sun...but watch it as boro can completely change color in different lights...

Got me some of my best recipes/instructions talking to pipemakers.
For quite a while, they were the ONLY source on how to make anything
with Boro. Remember, even the boro room HERE is less than a year old.
I won't even tell you how many legs we all had to hump to get it .

Corri made us do things that made us all feel dirty afterwards.
