well...got a good piece done

got out sat. ~10am,b. and c. already there;bench set up and glory hole ripping - ready to rock & roll !
1st piece did white seed bubble..picked up lots of stainless wire on second gather,worked it in on bubble marver and got 3rd gather,shaped that up and went into hex mold (now 3" across) pulled it out - looks great ! b. gets over to puntie it up and helps paddle the lip flat - boxed that puppy !

#2 got iris gold on second gather,reduced it then quenched for crackle (twice) - got 3rd gather,shaped it up a bit,then picked up a line of "voynich text" - looks great ! b. suggests blowing it out some more..then i ask about her blowing while i support the bottom and flatten it in at the same time - "go for it" worked great !!! just as i had hoped - been waiting to try that since last year !! puntied up and just put a very slight flare on the lip !! probably THE BEST PIECE I'VE EVER DONE !!!
.....then no. 3 went to hell.................LMAO!!

later b.,c. and i discuss taking next week off on account of easter..sounds good.. i'll probably come by friday to pick work up..maybe try the glow glass ?
