These are some boro pendants that I've been playing with. I used a small hole at the top to fabricate a bail with silver and the flowers are some small pmc pieces that I had laying around....I really like these and am going to have to make more!!!

Sweet beads, Lori!
Roger, the dragon is TDF!
Julie, yes, definitely make some more!

I'm still having a blast combining metals and glass. Here's my latest. It's actually been done for a bit...was waiting for the perfect silk ribbon to hang it from.

Thanks, Bonny!! I've wanted for YEARS to take a metalsmithing class and was finally able to do so. I had a blast and work with it as much as I can!!! You guys probably will get sick of me posting pics

Lori- you've got a nice assortment there!!
Roger- WOW!!! I love it!!
Kim- Nice work! I love working with metals and doing unique things with the combo too..After you learn to do some metalsmithing, it just opens up the flood gates!!!

Thanks all for the kind words. You're right, Julie. There is soooo much that can be done with metals and glass!!!!! And I plan on having fun exploring the possibilities. DH told me that no metal is safe in our house now

Ooooh, that lobster paperweight is unbelievable (in a good way )!!
Brent, your vessels are TDF!!!! I liked your black and white, but this addition of color...gorgeous!!!

Lori, nice beads! I like the last two a lot
Roger, amazing dragon and lobster
Jkittels, the bails look neat on the pendants and match well
Kim, I like the look of metal and boro combined, also a nice silk ribbon to match it
Mr. Smiley, I like those vessels you've been making lately, especially the color one you just posted.
Val, nice heart necklaces
Shawn, love the pendants, nice flower!
Unikal, nice marbles and amazing color on all of your work
Trudi, nice bright hearts
Sheryl, neat pendants, like the colors
Sleepycreekglass, I like the colors you got in the second pendant

Finally I feel like I have something somewhat boro gallery worthy here's a flower sculpture from the other day.
