Hearts & Bones

Just can't stop playing with glass! This time, I'm also playing with gravity - melting my beads down and letting the hot glass roll is an amazing experiment since it strrrrrrretches the designs and even alters the colors a bit. It feels like I'm playing with lava.

These are all about an inch and a half long (40-45 mm). In my next experiments, I'll see just how long I can make them! I'm going to aim for 5 inches. Can I get there without cracking the glass? Will I be able to handle the mandrel? All this and more to come...

Here are some of my new babies!
