Bubble Blues

Remember the green beads from a few posts ago? Well I tried that glass (ST-382) again with a different clear encasing... and it came out much more like the color it was when fresh out of the flame. Unfortunately, it has an air bubble, right smack in the center of the bead - one that worked itself up to the surface of the bead while soaking in the kiln and now has a dent in it... so darn, I guess I'll have to keep this *flawed* one for myself. No problem!

The Green Beads

Here are some beads that were supposed to be aqua/teal/blue-green but, when I opened the kiln this morning, they were forest green. Ah well, sometimes you just never know what the magic glass kiln fairy is going to give you! These are Double Helix ST-382 - a test batch I got from the 2010 Bash.

Love Glass

If I could marry Double Helix Glass, I would. Sorry, Frank! But seriously, just look at this love glass:







And yeah, I just placed an order.
