While Spring usually finds me enamored with transparent glass - I've stolen some torch time to play with a newfound passion (ok, a variation). I am loving the simplicity and graphic boldness of a single focal with raised stringer work. Not that this hasn't been a passion for(ever) years... but these are larger (7/8" & 1") and very simplistic. They border on a ceramic look & feel... hmmm.

I have always loved scrollwork, but usually on a much smaller scale. Below is a necklace made from 3/8"dia and 1/2" dia beads... see what I mean? Nevertheless. It's fun no matter the scale. : ) Jill
