AD: A couple of things up on my site - TINK
Tinkster
It is GLORIOUS here! Warm... breezy... sunny... I actually left the
basement for a while today and went to the Museum for a glass center
meeting. Then Prairieson and I went shopping for a tree. Which we
didn't find.
When I got home, I finally had a second to photograph the couple of
things remaining from last night's wonderful torch session. These are,
without a doubt, happy beads! I can hardly wait to start melting glass
tonight, too!
Thanks for looking, and I'd love your feedback!

Thank you, Marie! I've been working on some vessel techniques lately
and am really enjoying the process! My goal for these is to keep
moving forward, working my way into full-fledged perfume bottles.

Thanks, Sooz! I'm really loving doing that style. With me being as
color-challenged as I am, I'm very, very happy with that colorline!
Just need to come up with some more smashing color combos. Thoughts?

Thanks, Jerri! I love doing hollows. I very rarely do any other kind
of focal, unless it's a tapere, bicone sort of thing. How about a
hollow bicone? I may try that today.

I've been seduced by cobalt-with-aqua this week (a turquoisey aqua, nt greeny).
It also looks good with a dash of black thrown in. Even some violet. But no
green!
Or some green too. I'm just a color ho.

That sounds cool, and not something I would come up with on my own. Do
you mean opaques or transparents or a mix?

Holy cow! I get to play with glass? (Virtually) ! Okay, but as you know, I
know little-to-NOTHING about torching, glass, etc. I'm just going to play and
pretend I do. So take it with a grain of pixie dust. I don't even know if you
can mix some of these COE-wise. And I guess you put whites under many of these
to get it to look vivid and colorful, unless you want a watery, totally
transparent bead ---?? Anyway.......
COMBOS:
~ 348 Light Turquoise Alabastro with 364 Dark Periwinkle Alabastro
(This is my favorite color combo every spring/summer.)
~ 054 Medium Blue Transparent over 232 Light Turquoise Pastel, to get a vivid
sky aqua-blue (would it work like that?)
~ 220 Periwinkle Pastel with 240 Light Lapis Pastel and 232 Light Turquoise
Pastel.
~ 418 Acid Yellow Special with 254 Purple New Color.
~ 380 Dark Pink Alabastro with 254 Purple New Color with 068 Pink Transparent
with 220 Periwinkle Pastel.
~ 070 Uranium Yellow overlaid with 022 Medium Grass Green Transparent and 034
Light Aqua Transparent.
~ 064 Black with 232 Light Turquoise and 220 Periwinkle (Pastels) drizzled over
it.
As you can see, spring doesn't mean earth colors to me.
I might have more later, this is fun! I can see why you guys are hooked --
well, I knew that anyway.

Good job, Sooz! I've printed the page out and will give some of these
a try.
Thanks!
Tink
Dr. Sooz
>a try.
Oh thank you. Color has always been one of my strong suits. I love to play
with it too.

Huh. I just noticed that I'm always ooohing and goshing over beads in
warm tones, when practically all I ever make are beads in cool tones. Wierd!

You gotta pick up the hot colors, dear! I never used them, and now I
can't get enough. LOL!
Donna did all my pics today. What do you think??????????????? I was
flabbergasted! Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
I also took one of Sooz's suggestions and played with it. Named it
Soozala. LOL! I don't have it up yet though.
Dr. Sooz
>Soozala. LOL!
Oh my gosh. :-O
Did you like how it turned out?

It's up on my latest stuff page :-) I like it, but I wasn't sure it's
really what you had in mind with the suggestion.
Dr. Sooz
>really what you had in mind with the suggestion.
Yes and no. The colors are what I was thinking, but the proportions aren't
what I had in mind.

So TELL already! LOL!

More color on the black, yikes! >running<
I suppose I thought it was obvious, so I didn't elaborate (oops) -- as there
are only a few tentative threads on the black in your bead.
My vision of the use of black was to offset the COLOR, to make it look more
vivid. Not as the dominating factor. It's used frequently in floral fabircs,
for instance, as a background to colored flowers -- sparingly, as an accent.

LOL! See? This is a PERFECT example of why I never do custom work. To
me, "Black, with turquoise and periwinkle drizzled over it" means a
black bead. With turquoise and periwinkle drizzled over it, of course.
LOL!
Everyone's vision is different. Never assume anything is obvious. :-)
Dr. Sooz
>me, "Black, with turquoise and periwinkle drizzled over it" means a

Oh yeah! I know. And to me, it meant sequence. Black first, color
after....not proportion. Haw!
>Everyone's vision is different. Never assume anything is obvious. :-)
My favorite button ever said, "BEWARE OF THE OBVIOUS."

I do love to make orange beads, but I've found that orange is the only
hot color I ever use, despite having an obscene quantity of translucent
yellow annd every red there is. I need to break out the reds!
