They are great Bob! You must be pretty chuffed with them :D
Wow - that's a brilliant start!
Thanks!!
Yes the last one pleased me, so I now need to get less air bubbles in them when I implode.
Going to try some more sculptural stuff this afternoon, ????
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Hay Bob looking good! I must admit to being tempted to have a go at marbles - instead of just loosing them for a change! I would like to make my own solitaire game. :)
Wow they are really great Bob, the vortex and the bottom flower, brill!!
I think you are on a roll there Bob...I'm sure someonelse has made that pun, but it is so apt. I can see you becoming a marble master in no time!
Great start! Like the last white flower, I think you're certianly on the right path, that's really nicely defined ;D Your boro addiction really has started now! ;)
They look lovely to me ;D Wouldn't even know where to start to make one.
I sense a new addiction developing. They are lovely.
And a bit of sculptural stuff??? (also posted in the gallery)

Thanks but its not very good as I cracked it where it joins the branch and re melted it so there is a join....... but I have learnt a few things doing it! So not all was lost...... oh and Dianne my wife has claimed it!!!!!!!
WOW Bob they are lovely and you are on a roll well done you
Amazing work Bob, I think you have found your calling.
Wow, you did all that on a Minor with only one oxycon? Doesn't it take ages to melt the boro that way?
Next time I go shopping for glass I will have to order some boro and try it myself :)
The seahorse is really pretty!
Great results there - love the seahorse! :)

No Noora they are with the new second oxycon, the first small 1/2" bead was all I could manage with one oxycon..... and over and hour!!!
;D ;D ;D ;D
Okay, good :) I was worried I (or rather DH) wouldn't have to get us a second oxycon ;D (I want a spare, the one I have is antique and may keel over any day.)
Wow Bob that seahorse is fantastic!
Thanks, just need to try again to see if it was beginners luck!! 8) 8) 8)
The boro bug has bit hard then Bob! ;)
Not that anyone who witnessed the steely determination displayed on the play bench at Flame Off would be at all surprised ;D ;D
You could say that ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
