Fresh Glass 11.20.14

Another fun torch session! I tried a floral for the first time in years. I love them but they take so long to make and I never feel like they sell for what they are worth in terms of my time.  Sigh..  I've been OBSESSED with the shades of gray in glass (heh heh) lately and made some ribbed pieces for a set. There's also a huge Arke focal and... the beginnings of another! That clear bead was to be the core of a big bead and the bead realease broke. I've got a collections of these and will probably list them on one of the discounted lampwork pages.
