Beads

The torch finally came in yesterday. As the furniture was all set up, it was hard to resist going to pick it up, then getting the rest of my supplies from Inga, and proceeding to waste the rest of the evening up there. The torch burns A LOT hotter than Inga's defective torches, and that took a little getting used to. In fact, the entire first lot was destroyed because I put it into the vermiculite too early and it got all warped and bits of vermiculite stuck to it. Damn, because there was at least one bead in there I was fond of. Here's a picture of the second set I did. The best of the weekend I think.



The new studio is quite the success though. I love my new table, and there's a place for everything in the cabinet. Next weekend I'll try to put some time into getting the place totally clean as opposed to the barely tolerable it is now.

Under the cut are images and comments on all the other beads I made this weekend.

( Fire, fire, heh, fire )

That's it for today. Now, a bit of a nap and then I'll do some real, paid work.
