Default New to boro...how'd I do?

Ok all you boro masters...how did I do? I'm new to boro, but having a great time playing with it! I think my colours could be better, I'm not on tanks and my Cheetah could probably use a bit more oxygen than what I'm giving it...

Thank you Kim! It was some of your work that made me want to try boro in the first place...I only hope one day I can make boro get up and dance like you do!

Thank you for the kind words everybody, I can always use the encouragement!

Tom...I love the heavily silvered glass that Double Helix puts out but noticed most of the time the results were pretty much blues/aquas and not much else...I got tired of emails asking me if I ever made beads in another colour. I figured since I don't know much about the various boro colours it would be a safe bet that I could get away from the colour blue...Oh, and the fact that DH bought me a boatload of boro for Christmas! LOL

Thank you Nancy! I use two M20's from Unlimited Oxygen (or is it Oxygen Unlimited? I forget). But I'd rather be on tanked oxy...I almost have the landlord talked into it.
