Bullseye + Silver

These were done with a transparent base bead (I think I used red for one & green for the other, it really doesn't seem to matter what color), rolled in Reactive Cloud frit, then silver foil. Then black caps & stringer decor. I've been having fun with these reactions!

Wow, those are gorgeous. Do you think you could make gauged ear jewelry? I have been looking for something in chalcedony, and finally asked the guy I usually buy from, and he told me that because it's softer, it would probably only be good in an inlay.

So... that would leave glass as an option to get something that looks like chalcedony, I'm guessing. (It is a really pretty, light cloudy blue stone.) Can you do anything in Boro like that, or does boro come in solids?

(If this is possible, I'd be able to afford it next month, but would probably have to wait until then.)

Anyway, just putting the idea out there. :D

Thanks Heather. I haven't done gauged earrings but there's a woman in the same building as Aquila who makes those for a living & they are sweet, Glass Heart Studio
