I'm thrilled with the results, just because I can't believe I finally did it. Feel free to have a snicker at my very first boro pendant - here it is in all it's quirky, clunky, wonky glory :oD
Isn't it beeeeautiful!! (Don't worry, I understand it's the kind of beauty only a mother can feel for her child)
After I did that I attempted some beads, yep, they are wonky too, but OH the colours in this glass! Oooooooh MY!!!
I have to say I LOVE my mega minor!
On the soft glass front I've been experimenting with Triton, a new silver glass - not inexpensive at $4 a rod - I certainly won't be making any big beads out of it, but it's wonderful as a decoration on top of other glass.
It's really easy to get the lovely metallic sheen, here's another where I didn't reduce the Triton (it's the blue at the bottom of the bead)
and one more for luck!
I love the pendant!! AND all its wonkyness!!
ReplyDeleteThat triton gives beautiful things to the beads.
I want to upgrade just like you did with a mega minor and an m-15 concentrator. I am wondering how easy the boro is to work with this setup. I can't wait to try out boro. I am new at lampworking so I need a lot of practice. :)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely beeeeautiful. I especially liked your color choices and applications in the 2 end beads.
