Saturdays efforts
On my way home from work I picked up the beads.
I was working on technique, not production.
I was also tinkering.
I did manage to make one great hollow bead.
It is dimpled on each of its ends. and you can see the hollow in there.
Here you can see a lighter green ring in the center.
This one is only a partial hollow. I was also playing with the temp. You can see it turned out blue green instead of a solid blue. This one was not dimpled on either end otherwise it would have still made for a lovely bead.

Symmetry and temp testing on what was going to be a hollow, screw up, Anna's, lots of symmetry practice, Then the two green ones that are partial hollow, the wavy was to practice some different hand work for applying the yellow wave, then the good hollow one, the red bead with blue spirals I was trying to get the spiral down in one go it did not work out as one but i did manage it in two parts (i need to keep inching the glass forward so it melts a bit faster, another screw up, and finally another partial hollow.
