Default It's December 7th, do you know where your boro friends are?

Hey boro peeps! I can't believe it's the 7th of the month already and there is no boro show and tell thread.........thereby necessitating my imposition of these meager offerings to get things started! Where is all that boro gorgeousness y'all are so good at creating? I showed you mine, now you show me yours!

That is one I did while IN the John Kobuki class a bit ago in Rockland, Maine. It's actually too flat if you saw it from the side but I really like it.

Thank you all for the compliments. I am enjoying marble making very much- just want to get to perfection soon!

nice work everyone!
I've been doing these in my little breaks from making xmas stock for a market this weekend. It's a technique I had shelved quite a while back and gotten back to thanks to some inspiration from Voic. So while I'm blowing xmas ornaments, I'm constantly thinking of how to improve on it.

Default Boro toggles!

Just listed four new tRINGket bracelets in my Etsy:





For those of you who haven't read the recent Copper Ring Challenge thread, I did these "tRINGkets" for the challenge and then immediately wanted to try them as toggle clasps. Thought I'd use boro for strength! They're fun!

Enjoy!
Lea
