It is GLORIOUS here! Warm... breezy... sunny... I actually left the basement for a while today and went to the Museum for a glass center meeting. Then Prairieson and I went shopping for a tree. Which we didn't find.
When I got home, I finally had a second to photograph the couple of things remaining from last night's wonderful torch session. These are, without a doubt, happy beads! I can hardly wait to start melting glass tonight, too!
Thanks for looking, and I'd love your feedback!

Thank you, Marie! I've been working on some vessel techniques lately and am really enjoying the process! My goal for these is to keep moving forward, working my way into full-fledged perfume bottles.

Love 'em. The first one (reserved A) really got me the most.

Thanks, Jerri! I love doing hollows. I very rarely do any other kind of focal, unless it's a tapere, bicone sort of thing. How about a hollow bicone? I may try that today.

I've been seduced by cobalt-with-aqua this week (a turquoisey aqua, nt greeny). It also looks good with a dash of black thrown in. Even some violet. But no green!
Or some green too. I'm just a color ho. ~~ Sooz

That sounds cool, and not something I would come up with on my own. Do you mean opaques or transparents or a mix? Show me:

Yes and no. The colors are what I was thinking, but the proportions aren't what I had in mind. ~~ Sooz
