I also made a batch of forged earrings that I'm very happy with. I don't have any shows coming up so I think I'll actually post them on Etsy! My poor shop has been so neglected and I look forward to sprucing it up.

First bead of 2010
I got the new compressor filter installed in my 2nd oxygen concentrator, so I'm back up to full power! On Thursday I made this floral. I'm happy with the striping (it's better in real life than in the photo - I seem to have captured the one area where it faded out!). And the pink floral is actually the pinkest and least mooshy I've made, though still rather scummy. Rubino Oro, you are a harsh mistress. (Yes, I used an oxidizing flame and worked slowly and far out... any other suggestions?) Luckily, in real life it is only about the size of a big marble, so you only see the micro-scum if you look very closely.

New Nerodita pendant on Etsy
I've just posted a new pendant in our Etsy store. It's a lovely, substantial organic disc with 5 ornate dangles.
I really like the look of the silvered ivory twisty cane meandering over the surface, with lots of richness and reactions.

New HoG Earrings on Etsy
Here are some earrings that I made and photographed in December and have finally listed on Etsy. I'm so glad I did, because I really like these ones!
Carnelian Drops is lush and fun. I really love working with that colour of glass! Your eyes are not deceiving you; they ARE ever-so-slightly different shades of deep coral-rose. Carnelian is a very unpredictable flame-striking colour and it turns out slightly different every time, even though I made these two together on one mandrel. I think the harmonious tones add depth and personality to the earrings.
River rocks is a similar chain-dangle style with a completely different mood. This one is earthy and serene. I love how silvered ivory looks under drops of clear. The tiny fritted ivory accent beads are threaded onto the delicate silver chain, so they can move freely while the main beads dangle below. The best part is that these earrings will go with almost any outfit!
Finally, I just finished listing Bubblegum Gelato, which I describe as "sweet and geometric, like cupcakes made by a math prof grandma." Maybe I am overdoing it with the similes... Or maybe I am overdoing it just enough? You tell me. :)
