I think so. I just have to spend more time at the torch. I'm a firm believer that the more you do anything, the better you get. Any advice or constructive criticism is welcome. I have never done things like in the pics. I mostly did clear boro sculptures and neon for a while. Thanks

Amazing work everyone! I've only been using boro since the start of the new year. Please don't laugh to hard I'm not the best photographer (my lampworking skills are lacking too). Here's a electroformed paperweight.

March is getting off to a great start!
Kay - I love the color combos on those sets.
Brent - Those fish are awesome. Are those the fins made from the Wizard Sticks you were telling me about?
Keep up the great work!

I posted one of these in the bathroom yesterday. Sometimes some of the strangest stuff comes out of my torch. The last few days bones have been coming out of my torch. Pretty strange as sculptural pendants go. I think my torch got jealous and ate my muse and these are her bones..... so here you go... Bones of The Muse:

Love - love - love those fish Mr. Smiley! They have such character and they actually look like they are gliding thru the water.

Hi Brent,
Wonderful fish! But my first reaction to that last pic was "Mom, they're staring at me!" LOL

I so enjoy looking at everyone's beautiful work. Thanks to the tutorials/video from Pipyr, Cosmo, and Brent, I am getting better. Thank you so much for sharing folks!
I have a vortex (ugly color choices), a happy heart, and a marble that rolls well (I have a lot that wobble). Also, I have a couple of creatures that were supposed to be bears but ended up being armadillos.

Too funny! My critters almost always end up looking like armadillos when I use striped glass. LOL
Brent- Love the fishies!!!! Can't wait to try to buy one! I'm sure they will sell like hotcakes for you.

Marianne, those are awesome! I love the bears! My boyfriend was just sitting next to me and he said "those bears are cute" as I was scrolling down the page, so he and I both recognized them as bears
