SOOOooooo..... I've spent the last several weeks making ornaments. They are everywhere. The kitchen table (full)....the dining room table (full).... the chairs in the living room (full). All sorts of colors and sizes. They've gotten progressively better (?) as I continue to make them. By better, a loose term, I am suggesting that round is better than "near round." I'm melting colors in more completely. The loops are better centered and uniformly round. The composition of the ornaments seems to improve as I identify techniques that bring out the glass. Only 2 more weeks before the "big show" where I'll find out if anyone really likes these darned things. I could be in for a disappointment, but it's all part of the learning curve. talk with you soon.
