Tuesday Show and Tell!!!!!

[ritabead]

WooHoo! I get to start one. I am finally bak online with a hew motherboard. Missing a weeks worth of auctions really sucks. Especially this close to xmas season. Anyway, I was making sugar skulls again. Here is one sans Frida buns. Can't wait to see what Tuesday brings! :cat:

[Paula D]

:wave: Hi Rita.
Cool. Paula

[Rosie2000]

Gotta love the skulls....Digging deep...it is amazing what we all can come up with....Mine is a mixed media combo....a moretti bicone metalized with gaffer, set in a bed of felt and enhanced with silver, rhinestones, wire, small pink cubes and if that wasnt enough it is surrounded with annodized squigs and dotted moretti, all on a magnetic cable wire. A lot going on but easy to wear....very light http://www.wetcanvas.com/Community/images/18-Oct-2005/23816-IMG_0202.JPG .....A wildwoman original......Have a great Tuesday.....

oh, your boro always makes me sad that I'm on a hothead! I came into lampworking with plans for boro, but it's such an expensive set-up for a college student! I love your work! it's always so intriguing!

Good morning all! I have been checking the Show & Tells daily for months just to oogle beads. I have made a total of 6 beads so far-tee-hee...I was wondering can you please tell me the technique (this is directed to those like Koregon and KYBeadmaker) of how to get the floral petals to flowers the different colors? I got to make one stringer in the 4 hour class I went to :p but my guess is that it is some combining of colors and then pulling into a stringer...or is it frit...? Do you dot different colors on a stringer, encase it..just the little dabs of different color...very beautiful. Your work is beautiful and I love the florals the best (someday I hope to own a set of beads by both the above named artists..)...but I sure would love to know how to get those multi-colored petals of flowers...BEAUTIFUL!!!! I have a HH torch and I've bought lots of glass and even have about 10 different frits (none used yet)...want to get someday into enamels too...what an awesome form of art...well thanks for any insight and please know that I am enjoying my daily bead "fix" on these show and tells. Have an awesome day! Petie S. :clap: Bravo!

[lsking]

Morning all...I'm supposed to be cleaning the house and heading out to torch, but I had to stop in and check out all the pretties this morning! Great show everyone!!

Sounds like you've already given this a lot of thought. You might want to try posting your question in it's own thread in the technical forum. Someone who knows the answer is more likely to see it there and respond.

[CharleneN]

I have some new beadies to share and some new hollow vessels I have been working on.

Mr. Smiley - those beads are magnificent. Any suggestions on how to bring out the purples in boro? I've never even come close. Thanks.

Jeff , those sea horses are sooo cute, your work is so faultless and the colors are wonderful.
