Beautiful work everyone...I'm tempted to get Hang's tutorial...I wanna know now to make those "ring" style implosion/coral reef thingies!!! Do you think I could do that technique in soft glass?

Gotta say, Rguttie...I just LOL'd reading that comment! But I must say, this is a bead after my own heart (or should I say "gut"). I've been through every test in the book trying to find out what's wrong with me innards...last stop, though, is a scope through the belly button to see if I have some "adhesion" issues. Been putting that off for as long as possible...prolly gonna go for it this year, though. Not a fun thought

If this were mine, I'd call it "My Stomach is in Knots!!!" - which, for me, is most of the time!

I LOVE IT!

Thanks De and Chris. Sorry about the tummy issues. I am sure that isn't fun at all.

Maybe I could create a new line of beads. Hmmmmm.... Food for thought. LOL

Awesome pendant Lisa! Great job.

Here is a little boro flower. I really do have to remember to make more petals than I need. Had to pull a couple of "emergency" petals for this one....

Thats nothing. My husband said my mushroom pendant looked like a pennis. I
was so darn excited about finally doing one, until he said that. That by the way is the last one I ever did. Maybe we shouldn't listen to our husband. I however like yours. Good job.

Thanks cake lady. I remember when I made my first boro hearts. I was so excited I took them to work to show them off. One of the guys looked at them, flipped one upside down and said they looked like "ball sacs". Just sad. Needless to say I don't take hearts into work anymore.

Maybe if they looked like Brent's or Eric's it would be a different story.

Great flower Tiggybubba!

I've heard that my heart pendants look like a really fine booty and maybe I should try that, I've heard the ball sack comment, people are so goofy. I have one aquaintance who always asks me how the anal beads are going..

Shame on you Leah. Where has your mind gone.

I didn't realize what I was saying. I was of course referring to their mushrooms.

I have a slightly wounded blown vessel. Due to a communal kiln, one of its leaves got broken off....

I've been playing around with the funky pendant design again and I think this one looks like it may have come from another planet?


Enjoy!

Those are most excellent, and no I've never attempted that. I wouldn't even know where to begin. My favorite is the white one, but they're all pretty sick.

Fyrsmith - Great job on the vessels. I love the color that you are getting from ivory blush.
Voic - Those spiders are wicked cool. I really like the first one.
Joe - Sweet marbles. The 3rd one looks like it could be a nebula.

I have heard people at shows say the look like butts, scrotums, boobs, droopy boobs, big lips, and one lady who said they all looked like "coochies" to her.

I have only seen winged insects: butterflies, bees, and wasps. That is the first spider I have ever seen, and it is very nice.
