Fresh Glass

Hollow lovelies

Hot out of the kiln from last weekend, I bring you some new glass beads.

My glass setup is in a little room off of our house that doesn't enjoy the benefit of heat or air conditioning, so working with glass is really, really unsuccessful in winter months.  The temperature difference between the torch and the air in the winter causes the glass rods to literally explode = not fun.   So one of the many welcome changes in spring is the re-opening of the glass setup.

So I'm taking advantage of some nice spring weather and the couple hour naps the kiddo still takes in the afternoon and this was the net result.  I've got some ideas for earrings with the coral lined pink beads and I'm thinking of stringing these green hollows into a simple single strand... thoughts?
