I gathered up all the loose frit, silver and gold, blasted chunks, &c. on my work surface and put them in a pile. Then I grabbed a rod of pinkish ivory from my cheap stash for my base bead, and melted great globs of stuff into it. And I do mean globs! It was tremendous fun, and I used a few basic techniques for effect — encasing and smashing flat, poking, and swirling. Should be cooled in a little while, I’m excited to see how they turned out.
It used to drive me crazy to have to wait on beads to cool. Now, I find it delicious.
