This week I recieved both the displays and giftbags I ordered last week and also a fresh bunch of glass, Yay!
I can't work without my favourite base colour Ivory, so I had to get some more. And while I were at it, I also got some new to me Double Helixs, the Kalypso and Helios.
I got to try out the Helios today, and I must say I love it. It fumes a lot, and when I made pendants, like the ones I have been making recently, but with the Helios instead of Psyche, I got lovely browns with a whisp of pale purple/light blue. They are very fall.
The beads are still hot in the kiln, so I can't show you until later, but I were very pleased with them when I put them in for annealing.
So this is just a short update, pics will be included later.
See you then,

Later is here!
And so are a couple of pictures. Aren't these just delicious? I am still very pleased, can you tell? :)
I love these shapes. Nicely melted half-way in, looking juicy and voluptuous. Very organic. Yup, this is what I have been after :)
And my new displays look like this. Stylish!
The foot is weighted so it doesn't fall over when you look at it which is nice. There is room for a pair of earrings up there in the middle, but I don't make earrings much so I will not need that. The pendants will present them selves better higher up, so I'll see if I can secure the chain somehow on the backside.
Hmm, I may need to buy more chains. I'll put that on my list.
Bye for now!

Glass packages are the best, aren't they? Opening them is the same as opening a box of new possibilities :)
They are the best! Absolutely. Hmm, I'm really big on possibilities, to the extent that I will avoid using my supplies just so that I can keep my possibilities open. I'm working on that :)
