Vessels, Vessels, Everywhere!

Jason has been working on so many vessels lately! They are coming out awesome. He's been working in both boro and soft glass for these. Later today we'll upload a video of him making on one youtube. I'll be sure to post the link. We've got some corks coming in this week for the vessels, and once they're here these will all be ready for sale! :)

Practicing Dot Beads

Hey everyone! :)

I've been practicing my dot beads lately, and I'm addicted to them! I do have to work on not turning into a ball when I make them though, haha. This one is about 33mm long and has clear and red dots.

Have a great Wednesday, and if you're in Southern NH, stop by the Peterborough Farmer's Market in Depot Square Park (3-6pm) :)

Testing

Below is a picture from the show this past Sunday (4/25). The show didn't turn out to be that great but I loved how our booth looked! Not many people seemed to show up for the show, I'm not sure if there was even 10 customers in the room where the event was at any one time. It was nice experience to set up an indoor booth though. It would be great if we could have the same layout for the farmer's markets but a lot of the inventory/displays would be blown away especially at the Nashua FM. Now I have to organize everything we brought to the show and open our Etsy shop again.

I got a package of shards from Bexrox. I got a few different shards to test out before she puts them in her Etsy shop. I am trying out the first shard and I love it! I'm trying them on different bases and different techniques. I'll post pictures of the shards and the beads soon :) Can't wait to try out the rest!

More marbles

AHHH I'm in love with soft glass marbles! So much easier to work silver glass with limited oxygen. Also can get decent sizes with only one concentrator. With boro I'd have two concentrators but seemed to take forever to get a decent size marble made. I just fixed this marble yesterday, I was surprised that this size marble could be fixed since it was soft glass but I had no problem reheating it in the flame. Anywho here is the marble.

Marble Pendant

We are having a 40% off sale in our Etsy shop for Monsters only :)

Here's one of the marble pendants. Probably going to try some small marbles to do the same thing but for earrings.
