David claimed my last sample pak. Now let's see what you all can do with it!

Thanks everyone for testing it out.

Stop being scared! Especially with the boro. It basically does not pop or move until you make it. Really hard to get it to explode at you at all

I almost feel like I'm cheating when I play with boro for that reason. No popping or spitting. Heat, re-heat, jump from place to place - it's amazingly forgiving, compared to 104!

Awesome! What are you gonna make with those Elaine? I'm so sorry! I totally forgot to send the pics of what I made. I followed Jaci's video, which is awesome BTW & made these 4 super easy pendants so far. The one on the top left is a cab that I also made. it's dichro on a clear base. The dichro is really easy to use & doesn't seem to burn off too easily as long as you don't directly heat it.

Thanks again for the chance to play!

I am going to use my glass saw and cut some small pendants and earrings. Then re-fire to round out the edges. I will have to try some in the torch too. Love your pendants Lea.
