AD --- New Works Up --- Tink

Hi all! I've just stocked up my Available Works page today, and thought I'd post a few direct links here for your viewing pleasure!

I'm working on some retro-themed gallery pieces, and did a few vessels to test some custom mix colors. Here's one with a pretty blue polka dotted neck:

I've also had winter on my mind, as we actually had to crank up the furnace yesterday. Yikes! Here's a sparkly Sleighride for you:

And finally, one of the best (if not THE best) bead-in-a-beads I've ever done. First, you make a little flameworked bead on your mandrel. Then you construct a hollow bead around the first bead, taking care not to let the two touch, and doing your best to make a GOOD hollow that's nice and puffy --- Lightweight with thin walls. This one has a perfect trail running around the bead from end to end, too:

I love Sleighride, Tink. It really does look as though it's scooting along in the snow!

The bead-in-a-bead is really cool, too. Does the "trail" mean that the middle bead is fixed inside the hollow? Or does it float along the trail?
