More new beads

Still practicing shape and technique in the glass studio.

New beads

Had an opportunity to get in some practice in the glass studio this weekend and made these beads. The largest one that I liked best cracked during the annealing process and was not photographed.

All beads shown measure from 1/2" to 1" in length and 1/2" to 3/4" in width.

Tagged

One of my favorite artists, Jeri Aaron has tagged me. Check out her art at: http://www.artfulgathering.typepad.com/

I have to tell 4 (more) quirky things about my self:
1 - Collecting rocks has always been one of my favorite pastimes.
2 - Kayaking is my newest recreational interest.
3 - I enjoy Pandora radio, that's not really quirky but I am outrageously crazy about all kinds of music.
4 - Talking endlessly about cooking and trying new recipes is way fun!


Now I will tag 4 bloggers whose art I admire and enjoy. Please check out their work. I will let them know they have been tagged and they can share some of their favorite art blogs.
