I've been playing with FIRE!

It has been a while since I've been at the torch.  I definitely have gotten a bit rusty, but, boy is it fun.  I was playing with some reactive glass but it wasn't reacting like it should...most likely because I need practice.  So, I got some boro out and made some swirly beads.  First, I love boro glass.  I use a mid range torch.  I can make boro beads with this torch, but it takes a while.  I just have to be patient.  The swirlys are easier because I don't have to melt it all together.  I do have to try to keep the coils even, though.  And the color that you get from boro is so vivid and deep and awesome!



So, have a great evening...
Take care and Hugs to all!
