Wow! Great stuff. The vortexes are awesome. Now that I have tried a few, I have great respect... I love the winged heart. It has some strange sad feeling that I love. Still workin' on my flowers. I have finally gotten the flower pendants to have the petals coming together in the middle. I figured out that I was not imploding the pendant long enough...until the original dots and lines are almost completely sucked up inside the pendant. Also found I had to push down harder when flattening the maria to make the petals spread out. Now I have to figure out how to avoid the little bubbles...I think I heat my colors too quickly?? And I need to get more precise with applying the dots and stringer. I can't believe how much harder it is for me to apply them on a maria than on a bead held on a mandrel. I guess it is just practice, practice, practice.

Yep. The bubbles are coming from boiling the glass. Just work it a little slower and you should be fine.

I'd like to show a couple of hearts that I have of Smiley's? The color is just outstanding in each one of them. It's the kind of smooth, rocking color that just flows...

Looks like everyone is really getting some nice color!
Here are a pendant and heart that I did yesterday. The pink one was made using GA Powder Puff. It is a little more pink that it looks in the photo.

Thanks Sonya. The Blue shadow is caused by dots of the Momka Green Envy that I received in my tester package. I am pretty sure that I backed the green envy dots with amazon jewel, and then dots of a mystery color that was laying on my bench, and finally some blue moon frit to cover the whole back. I like it too which means that I probably won't be able to do it again.
I like your beads a lot. That last set would look great with some bali silver.
Eric

I've been watching your hearts come along, and I have to say that one is the best shape I've seen you do. Not that the others aren't good, but that is the most "hearty" that I've seen you do. Looking good!

The pendant is just magic mirror with clear frit. The metal is glued on with E-6000 much like a fused glass pendant.
Did this answer your question???
Thanks much for the compliment....

Thanks! Yeah, I find that I can really mess up a heart quick if I try and pull the tip off without getting it hot enough. It is amazing how quickly that other lobe ends up getting pulled too far south.
I love the needle effect you got with that first Dichroic pendant. I haven't been able to get mine to do that yet.
There is some really neat work showing up in these galleries lately!

Eric, what can I say, I think we both started working Boro about the same time? I've enjoyed watching your progression over the last year! WOW!
Sonja, you are the queen of color! It's nice to see you post in here, please do so more often!
Lori, "tubing hollows", yummy colors btw, but I bet ya' can't say that 10X fast!
