What a wonderful artist and generous teacher she is. 
What an honor ;-D  Here's an over view.

Purple Day...

...when you drop a bundle of Dark Amyseth
and smash it to smithereens you end up with
a kiln full of purplie stuff. 
This is the fav from the batch.

Purple Urple - licious

Ohhhh....I love me some Purple Urple. 
Here's a new flower marble I made with Purple Urple. 
I would have probably called it Grapelie,
but Purple Urple is nice too. ;-D

Abalone technique

Someone asked what the heck to
do with the boro color Sublime.
I use it to imitate abalone shell. 
Make a piece from TAG Purple Sable then
chop-hack-twist-drag and then encase with Sublime.
Here's a photo of two different pieces and
some genuine abalone shells.
What do you think?
