AD: A couple of things up on my site - TINK

Happy Sunday, all!

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:

COMBOS:

~ 348 Light Turquoise Alabastro with 364 Dark Periwinkle Alabastro (This is my favorite color combo every spring/summer.)

~ 054 Medium Blue Transparent over 232 Light Turquoise Pastel, to get a vivid sky aqua-blue (would it work like that?)

~ 220 Periwinkle Pastel with 240 Light Lapis Pastel and 232 Light Turquoise Pastel.

~ 418 Acid Yellow Special with 254 Purple New Color.

~ 380 Dark Pink Alabastro with 254 Purple New Color with 068 Pink Transparent with 220 Periwinkle Pastel.

~ 070 Uranium Yellow overlaid with 022 Medium Grass Green Transparent and 034 Light Aqua Transparent.

~ 064 Black with 232 Light Turquoise and 220 Periwinkle (Pastels) drizzled over it.

As you can see, spring doesn't mean earth colors to me.

I might have more later, this is fun! I can see why you guys are hooked -- well, I knew that anyway. ~~ Sooz

Huh. I just noticed that I'm always ooohing and goshing over beads in warm tones, when practically all I ever make are beads in cool tones. Wierd!

I also took one of Sooz's suggestions and played with it. Named it Soozala. LOL! I don't have it up yet though.

It's up on my latest stuff page :-) I like it, but I wasn't sure it's really what you had in mind with the suggestion.

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