Title: Boro Gallery August 2010
Post by: garishglobes on July 26, 2010, 12:18:05 PM
Yes, our very own Boro Gallery! ;D I'm hoping it will get filled with lots of boro, from newbie to less new, to inspire, inform and encourage more work. Beads, stirrers, scultpure, vessels, experiments - all welcome.

To start us off in style, here's Ian Pearson's amazing vet - now get your own pictures up here too!

...still work in progress (particularly the stoppers and the shape) - but they are fun to do!

About time I posted something here, been so tied up lately haven't had a chance to get any pictures taken! Been finally getting the hang of jellyfish too, but I really am getting to the limit of what I can do with a Minor, really going to have to start saving my pennies for something bigger now as this was quite tough to get shaped. I'm rather pleased how it came out though!
