Great heart, Eric--the Exotics are among my favorites. I love the way the clear dots are framed by the "reduced" metals in your heart.

Thanks Anita! I worked the piece in a super oxidizing flame until I got all my clear dots melted in, and then I hit it with a reducing flame. I am not sure if I like the reduced pinkish color better or the un-reduced purple color framing the dots. I think I will try and do it again today.

Hey thanks you guys - I have serious loop issues, but am working on them with my therapist  hehe
I haven't tried to press boro yet....it does look good Carrie! Maybe this weekend I'll try it. We tried inside-out in class last week....ummm....kinda scary that's for sure. I'd share, but I don't want you all to go BLIND!

Hey burner
not sure if you're talking to me, but if so, yes. I love the look of ISO but being a relative newcomer to boro - not an easy task for moi

Tomorrow is the day.....I'm going to the studio with the directions for an implosion pendant....and I'm not coming out until it works...or I get hungry....or need a loo break....which ever comes first! Wish me luck! Somehow that whole puty up and back and forth just throws me for a loop! I did have a sales clerk buy a boro necklace right off my neck today at Coldwater Creek....guess I owe Paula a thanks as it was her frit (Purposeful Turtoise) over Peacock Carnealian.
