AD - Exciting New Bead Design!

Amazing work, Dawn! Simply amazing. The 'Implosion Globes' are stupendous and will start off another bead-making craze, I can see it now.

I love the other sets too. Your new studio is bringing out the best in your work.

Blazing!!! All four!!

Gorgeous work as usual, Dawn! :)

Thanks so much Su! I really think the new studio may have something to do with it. Kinda nice to not have spiders looming over me or frogs hopping in when it rains!....LOL!

Thank you so much Fran! Oh, and by the way....I'm SO GLAD you decided to start using your raku! Those beads are awesome!

The Implosion Globes are very innovative, Dawn! Great job!

I agree, they are wild! Would you consider making a pair so I could afford to hang them on my earlobes?????? Pretty please?? :D

GMTA I had the exact same thought! :)

Hi Stephanie and Polly,

This was my first set and I think I need to practice with the shapes a bit. For earrings, I would think it would be better to make them like the little spacer beads, but do a very small bead and then make the "Implosion droplet" that hangs from it a little bit bigger. Let me see what I can come up with..... =o)

Yea! It will be cool to see how you morph the glass, or does the glass show you what it wants to be?

Why thank you, shweethart! Quite the compliment coming from you!

Smooooch!

Sometimes I lead, sometimes the glass leads, and then there's those "happy accidents". My first seashell was an accident.

And a wonderful accident it was!

I still treasure my seashells, although I have less now as I give them away one by one to people who really appreciate their beauty.

Hi Dawn,

I've been away from the computer, but wanted to tell you that those Implosions were neat! Very cool!

You are such a sweetheart! =o)

Thanks Jerri! They were fun to make!

Thank you so much, JC! =o)

How awesome! I love those implosion globes!

Thanks Kandice! I need to come up with other bead shapes to *attach* the implosion drops to in order to make the beads more practical to use in jewelry though. I'll have to do some more experimenting....(Now where did I put that lab coat?) =o))
