After another week of not being able to broadcast, we were ready for some Friday night fun. I was really tired but didn’t care, I had to say hello to everyone! Missed you guys.

This first bead is actually the last one that I made last night. It is a base of bright lime green rolled three times in the fine size Sea Breeze Fusion Frit. Love the contrast between the base glass and frit colors.

The other focal bead that I made last night was made using our new 104coe Raku Milli chips. These are so much fun and add an interesting element to any bead. They are rather unsuspecting in chip form but after they are placed into the bead they explode with their gorgeous rainbow of colors. The shards that were used on this bead were the Aurea shards.

And of course I had to make another one of my decorative hanging window jars. This one came out much different that I had envisioned. The base was iris gold which usually turns into a really pretty deep avocado green tone, however this time it changed to a really pretty blueish green opaque. This newest jar is currently available in my etsy store.

Lastly, this is the conch shell that I made last night. These are very fussy things to make. Keeping the whole thing from cracking while your working is not an easy task. This one did crack but I only made it for demonstration purposes anyway, had no intention of selling this one.

During tonight’s broadcast we will be playing with some new shards, the Motley shards that we took over production for from Janet’s Glass. I’ve made a paddle with them last week and this is a gorgeous shard! Looking forward to getting them on a bead and seeing where it goes from there. These shards should be available for purchase soon. I also haven’t made a tree bead in a long time so I will probably make another one of those and incorporate some other things into it like the raku milli chips for something new. Guess we’ll see, tune in and find out
