Thanks for watching last night everyone! If you tuned in last night you got to see some different techniques being used. Let see, we blew a vessel, made one of my medallion pendants, and my favorite bead to make, trees!
The handle on the vessel came out a tad large, should have took off some of the glass but this was just a demo vessel anyways

Here is the Medallion pendant that we made last night. Base is Blue River Streaky overlaid with Silvered Pomegranate shards and twisted in the middle creating a vortex of sort. I am in love with this color combo!

The last bead we made was this beautiful barren tree focal bead. Which led me to find out that the Woodland Brown Streaky Stingers make excellent trees! When I started drawing out the tree I knew I found a new love for these stringers.

I think we’ll be making more tree beads today after seeing how good this one turned out. Also, if anyone has always wondered how a particular technique is done and would like to see a demo, let me know. If I know how its done I will be happy to show.
I have some rods and stringer to pull, which is a long and boring process. So I’ll save you guys from the monotonous work involved and turn the cam on when the fun begins. Which will be later this evening. See you all at the next broadcast!
