I've been busy making more samples to show to prospective buyers. I'm still having problems with my oxycon as it is only giving me 2 litres of oxygen per minute for the torch so I have to be careful when using pale glass that it doesn't get "smoked" from unburnt fuel. I hope the problem goes away when I take delivery of my new oxyconAnd more beads: Another set of samples..

Another set of samples.

I found a Flower Marble Tutorial on the WetCanvas site and adapted it to try to make an implosion pendant. Simply, this is a pendant where the pattern is in the centre of the glass, much like childrens marbles. Here's one of my better efforts, although not very good, but it's a start.

This bead is made from Bulleye glass, mostly yellow with yellow and blue stringer applied. It's 24 mm long and about 25mm bobble to bobble. The shape is achieved by melting a blob of glass into a bead on the mandrell and rolling it at an angle across a graphite marver plate to give a cone shape. Different colours of stringer were applied around the base to make the bobbles. The white seed beads are a right angle weave practice piece.Here's another: Inverted cone shape
