Any interest in boro shards?
I am working on a new project and have made some layered boro shards... is there enough interest for me to keep moving forward and doing new combinations?
What would you like to see?
Currently I have mixed silver colors over sparkle... and they rock!
I'll list some of the shards I have at a low introductory price as soon as i get them weighed out...
Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

it's a thin bubble of color that is broken and applied to the surface for some really neat effects.

That is so cool! I'm already thinking about making some and using them. Well, you just opened another door for me. With everything that I pick up here I feel like I'm in a huge hotel with all these doors opening, and all the people in the rooms are nice and cool...

It was good to meet you at my first boro class a couple of weeks ago at abr. I learned a lot. I have made about 50 pendants since then and am getting better at them. I would like to try some of the shards when you have them ready. I will be watching for you to list them. Thanks again for the class...and Good luck with the shard!!!

I didn't know Hannah made them... that's awesome!
I think somebody else was selling smaller bubbles on ETSY a while back too.
I've recently come up with a process that will make it possible to sell in larger batches. making small bubbles on the torch is kinda hard to keep up with any volume. Making shards is really labor intensive and I'm able to make bigger ones now. I can do layering as well. This will allow me to share some of my recipes with you guys and I'm pretty stoked about it.
