Had I wrapped a larger coil pot I probably could have made a small vase or container. Not sure yet how the tube will hold up with any kind of weight on the end.

So a blend of oranges. The centre spot is an accident - an artifact of the clear punty being pushed too hard into the cabochon - so that the centre of the cab is transparent, and apparent, so was the frit right there - and further out, it is opaque. But a happy accident. <br /><br />I kept trying to fix it while I was making it, and eventually gave up! dragonjoolshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02694253446479395485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17934992.post-43488115022737618072014-12-12T08:00:40.406-05:002014-12-12T08:00:40.406-05:00Very nice - black threading is my fav to do over c...Very nice - black threading is my fav to do over colors - I like that orange - what color is that - a spot of trans green or is that a reaction ?DeborahRead.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11335789471068682225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17934992.post-42834639433556935312014-12-11T16:37:56.212-05:002014-12-11T16:37:56.212-05:00Beautiful!
