rubino oro

I ordered a tutorial by Sarah Hornik called Think Pink, which is all about using Rubino Oro, a beautiful fuchsia pink that reacts in interesting ways with all kinds of other colors. here are some of the beads i made.


I was practicing my twisties too and these turned out pretty cute:

gorgeous grays

lately I've been liking gray with pinky colors and practicing my dot application. here are some of the results:



the top bead has been shaped by gravity to give this curvy shape.

this is it!

I'm absolutely thrilled with the way this bead turned out. I think it really is my best one so far, especially as far as shaping goes. I was having some trouble getting large beads to be symmetrical. It is nicely balanced and can even stand on one end without wobbling. The bead is made of ivory glass with elements of silver, black and silk white. It is 43mm long and about 10mm wide.

There's a bead cooling off in my little pot of vermiculite...I'm hoping it's my best one thus far.

I've been making glass beads since April 2009 and loving every moment (except when they crack). Here I'd like to share my beads with you...welcome and i hope you enjoy them too.
