Boro and Pirates

Posted by Davina on June 25, 2009

It was a fine day at the torch. I started by making some Boro vases. I don’t usually use boro and I dont think I have the tirch set right because it takes so long. I have some tubing that I have had since last Christmas and decided to see what I could do with it. I really need someone to show my how to pull points and then I have to buy some cutters for the tubing but not knowing what I am doing has never stopped me in the past. Here are the 2 vessels I made today.

Once I got done playing with the Boro, I went to work making some new pirates. I made a Monkey, a Cow, an Elephant, and a Horse. The elephant and the Horse are still cooling but here are the other two.

I also finished making my piggy heads for the Farm Town Exchange on facebook. All in all a pretty productive day. Tomorrow I am going to start working on my piece for the glass challenge. I have been toying with an idea and hopefully I can make it.
I will post pictures later. Until then, Keep the flame on….D
