Glass Virtuoso: We’re All About The Glass

Morning chaps.

Had an exciting week. Got to make fancy beads! Kewl stuff for kewlmeisters like me and not newbz. Lots of encasing and dots and bubbles. This is becoming better and better. Even better than chocolate-covered unicorns!
In addition to my extatic joyess descriptions, I also have some pictures of my first pendants, as funky as they are (bad funky, personal conviction; I’m sur u guys wil love em) (they were not stolen this time, ha ha) and probably more joyess descriptions; I’m sort of geeking out, someone needs to slap me.

So this week I made beads and more beads. Everything involved dots, and dots on top of those dots, with bubbles on those dots, with clear encasing the whole thing. As u could guess, these mothers are huge. I used mostly green and blue motifs with black and clear accents.

The idea is to layer huge, pointy dots on the core. Like this.

U can add decorative bubbles on the top part of the dot. Or, u can just encase the entire thing in clear glass.
Like this.

Those aren’t mine. Mine r still in the annealer. And they’re kewler. And bigger.

But here are some things that r mine. These are my first pendants. Kinda funky, and one is super ugly.

And on a parting note, check back to THIS to see some of my blown pieces. They rock.
