Large Disks

I made some large holed, large disks. I want to make more. Feel free to throw out color combinations you'd like to see. And no worries, I'm not expecting you to buy them if I make them. It's just a little like how I feel about cooking dinner some nights. It's nice to have someone else decide what I should make every once in awhile so I don't have to think about it. :)


This bead uses the same colors as the bead in my Etsy avatars that I made several years ago. They are ASK-104 colors that are no longer made. I jealously protect these colors and would prefer to just look at them in my glass cabinet than use them up. But I pulled them out and made this. I left this side slightly ridged between colors of glass.

And put this side in the flame longer to melt away the ridges between colors so they would flow smoothly together. mmmmm, I love this green!

That's all for this week. I get back home tomorrow afternoon for a few short hugs and snuggles with my kids before we head out to a celebratory evening with Todd's tennis teams that made it to the ALTA city playoffs and his USTA 7.5 combo state champions. Sunday I can (maybe, hopefully) catch up on blogs and I'll rejoin you again the week of Thanksgiving. I'm thinkin a day-after-Thanksgiving-sale in both of my shops might be in order. Still mulling over the terms.

Have a great weekend!

Hi Kelley! I LOVE both of the bottom pics! Are they the same bead? Are they for sale???

Sweet! The colors on that second one are just dreamy!

Right now I'm loving a color combo of black, clear, and every shade of gray in between.

Thanks ladies! Cristi, the bottom two pics are of the front & back of the same bead. It was a custom request and is reserved, but I can make another if you're interested. :)

Alice, I love the idea of black, clear and grey! I'm going to have to try that combo for a large hole disk the next time I get to play on the torch!!!
