Oyster Nuggets!

Over the weekend when I was making egg beads, I also made these little nuggets.  I pulled out my Ekho glass from Double Helix.  It is one of the glass rods that looks like a very gross color, but it does such beautiful things in the flame.  While I was making these, I kept thinking of oysters and what the insides of their shells look like.  Now my memory could be fuzzy.... I'm pretty sure it's been a good fifteen years since I have eaten oysters.  I just love the purply luminescence these little nuggets have.  They are in my shop HERE.


Thank you all for so many wonderful comments/convos on the eggs.  I made ten new ones last night!  It was my first weeknight on the torch in MONTHS.  I had sooooooo much fun!  Hoping to get back on the torch tonight to make some more.

And.  Thank you for the kind comments on my hair.  :)  I am loving that it is short, although it hasn't totally sunk in that those six inches are gone.  We are having a little cold snap now and my neck is bare.  I constantly reach up to undo a ponytail that isn't there so I can cover up and warm my neck.  How goofy is that?!

These are so pretty!!! The colors are just amazing. I love your nugget beads. The size is just right, the shape nice and morphy. I love the greens I just bought-can't stop looking at them. The opalescence is so mesmerizing!!!
