The lentils are made with a press...the Cattwalk button press...size 1-1/4". I really like this particular press...

Oh man, you all posted some awesome stuff.
Sandree, how does the regalia/lynx compare to the lynx on tanked oxy? I am considering getting one of them in the furture.

You all do such gorgeous work! I should probably post in the other thread, I'm still pretty much a newbie. Some days it's hard getting to the boro. Oh well. These are Triple Passion tweezer twists. I was just totally jazzed that they're all about the same size! Not easy for me with boro.

It looks like it could be either NS yellow, or extra light yellow.

Thank you all for the kudos, much appreciated!
Sally, whoa, nice job on that piece.
Sandy, love the lentils, crisp and clean.
Ashlea, wispy and surreal, I like it.
Wendy, great colors in those, I am marble challenged.
Rebecca, nice to see you working Boro...you were a big part of the Smiley thread a year ago and you've been missed.

Awwww thanks Carrie! That's nice of you to say. I'm still trying to decide what I want to be when I grow up. I'm only in my 40's after all...

Guess this makes me the older sister, huh?
Sooo, did you pick up all those teeny balls?
Now, seriously, there's some unbelievable glass here today. Thanks to all who liked my pendants, thank you soo much. It's been a good day in the neighborhood today and your kind words were a big part of it!

I admit it, there's a bit of a double standard here. I've been working on something... with very limited success. I have some pieces done but no pics yet. It's such a simple idea, and until the other day I had NO idea why I was failing so horribly. I finally had some insight into the problem, but then some other stuff came up...
I promise I'll have some pics after this weekend Maybe even during this weekend...depending on whether I can find a computer...

Wow, I'm so impressed will all of you guys!!! I still feel like a boro newbie when I compare my stuff to all the beauty above, but I'm getting there darn it.
(There's no way I'm putting any of my boro pictures up now!)

Not all of these were made in April, but a good many of them were.
Figured I'd post what I've been up to for the past couple of months...

Those TP beads are awesome!! Inventory looks great Cosmo - I'm sure there are tons more!
Marbles are fun, huh? I wire wrapped one into a cage pendant the other night...looks cool!
These are some of my Ozzy-dog bones I'll have when we compete at the Nuts for Mutts dog show this weekend.

Sadly, no. I need to get some more marbles made. I want to make 20 or so more before next weekend. I'm pretty much covered in the way of pendants, but I need some more round stuff. Especially since my booth at the show is labeled "Art Glass Marbles".

Yeah, I need to make some more marbles as well. I have lots of Dichro ones, but I need to make some more vortex and implosion marbles for my show. Hey, we still have a week, so if we do 4 per day we will be fine, right?
