I have so many things I am still working on. Dot consistency, size and placement, are two things that are a constant bugaboo. I try to make the best even if my touch is off, by raking or encasing or wha’ever.
Tonight I grabbed a handful of blue rods, at random, from cheap glass I had gotten from eBay when I first started. I made a large ink blue base bead, then stacked dots about 6 high (alternating white and different shades of blue, xparent and opaque) and melted them flat. I could see that they were drooping one into the other, so I grabbed a rake and drug it through the middle. I think it’s going to be a very nice bead.
Waiting for the render………..
The shape is a little off, but the swirly design is very satisfying.
