Afraid Not



Birch

I am in love with this new glass.

Frayed Knots
I was using it to make some of my sleek Birch headpins and before I melted it all in this is what I saw.
I kind of fell in love with them too!



and then there is this color that I call Raven's Wing..
 it's got a bit of iridescent spots added.


These are "Bruised Birch"

Then I crustified them

Then I thought I'd take the Frayed Knot idea a little further with the nudging of a customer  and make some different colors




been such a long time since I made any limpets
Crusty

Glossy

crubbly whorls

Wicked Fiwah

just plain wicked

caramel swirl

Can't even think about selling these yet!

 I had one rod only of this crazy color, Sunset Rose



NumiBuds!

Bat buds!


Pateeeena!
and finally one of my early attempts at something sculptural.

I'm off to a bead show in Anchorage and maybe will have a few goodies left to put on my Facebook page or Etsy shop. Stay tuned and thanks for looking!

  5. God, whenever I see all your pieces together like this I'm always left a little speechless. The sum total is overwhelmingly delicious :) Hope you sell tons at the show...I'll be sniffing around the dinner table afterwards for scraps!
