More experimenting at the torch…

IMG_3212I’m still full of ideas and experimenting at the torch… and still no explanation for these beads except this is what’s currently coming out of my head:  gothic and cartoon hearts, and playing with the effects that can be created  from boutique silver glass.  The pregnant goddesses are for a custom order.  I’m having fun though!IMG_3213

Completely and utterly random…

IMG_2264…is the only way i can explain this pile of beads.  I’m either on the verge of a major breakthrough or i’ve completely lost my mind. 

I can’t remember ever producing such a random pile of beads NONE of which are in my usual style of beadmaking.  They’ve all been made in the last week or so and i think reflect the fact that i had a lot of things on my mind.  The beads range from gothic floral attempts to antiqued hearts for a framed composition to a custom order involving pears and trees to goddesses for a charity auction to those Blue Willow vessel beads that my sister requested a couple years ago (no idea why i suddenly decided to try making those again now!).

Best i can say is that at the very least it’s obvious my stringer control has really improved…
