I made a smaller feather and so enjoyed it,

Exercises and play time in glass

Here are a few more of the exercise in heat control

variations and a couple piece using up shorts.

Practice makes...well new necklaces...

After a class with Emilio Santini,

he showed us some "wax on - wax off"

exercises to improve our heat control in glass. 

One of the exercises is to make consecutive

maria (knobs) on a rod of glass and see how

consistent you can get them. 

It was really fun and I did learn alot...

but just can't let a piece of glass

be "nothing useful". 

Here's my practice necklace ;-D
