More magic

 

I've been playing with some more magic mosaic shards.

Shards are always fun to make, and because I 'm experimenting with different glass combinations, I'm never quite sure how they will turn out. That surprise when I open the kiln is also a lot of fun!

Ring toppers

 

My first attempts at ring toppers. I think I may have discovered a new diversion, these are very addictive to experiment with and make. Of course they do not reflect the quality of work of the original designer, Manda.

I used the Harlequin Cab Tutorial from her, which can be found at http://www.mangobeads.co.uk/lampwork-tutorials

Twisted

Here are the beads that I promised to show, made with tightly twisted silver glass. They all have the same twisted glass, but on a different base. The differences are quite subtle in some of them, but I like what's going on.

What's up

Ok, so you know that I have been working with silver glass. The newest technique has been with silver glass in twisties. I'll get some pics up as soon as possible.
