Welcome to my Musings

It is Sunday and Week 2 is due but I am not ready.  The theme is January birthstones,
garnet or rose quartz. I chose garnet because it is one of my favorite colors and
there is a lampwork glass color that is close to garnet.  It is made by a Chinese
manufaturer, CIM, and is called bordello.......apt name for this color I think.

BUT.......I am having trouble working with it.  It burns readily to an ugly brown color
or it gets very dark, almost black.  For the necklace I want to make I need 3 matching
largish beads, about 1 inch hole to hole. So far I have only made pairs that fit the
description. 

Here is a sampling of a few of the 20 or so beads I have made so far. 






Back to the torch!
