I've just added Effetre seeded glass to my store inventory and for now, it's on sale for 40% off. This stuf is absolutely gorgeous and can be made into incredibly beautiful pieces. My skills are a bit lacking, but I've made a few beads and vessels that I really like. I need to practice making hollow beads. Here's a vessel that I made using the Amethyst seeded. I believe I used it with Effetre or Vetrofond Dk. Purple Transparent. I don't seperate them since they're basically the same and I never write down what I use.
Note to self: Start keeping track of the colors/brands used!!! (Yeah, right. Like that's ever going to happen.)
Anyway, here's my vessel:
It's not a Tink, but we can't all be creative geniuses. Who is this "Tink," you ask? Her seeded creations are what made me fall in love with seeded glass. Bead Porn Alert! Feast your eyes: http://blackswampglassworks.com/seeded.htm and http://blackswampglassworks.com/vesselgallery.htm. Her vessels are blown. Mine is not. Mind you, I do know how to create blown vessels, as I was an honored participant in one of Tink's Hollow Vessels classes back in January. I'm just lazy and core formed vessels are easy. There. I said it. Perhaps one day I'll post some of my inspirationally wop-sided hollow creations for your viewing pleasure. (Ha!)
