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!
Save travels and wishing you a great show. Loving these swirls pieces of joy : )

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!
