Crimson Kiss

So whats going on in my studio? Well in the middle of a heat wave, about the only time to flame is really early in the morning. So its wake up coffee and torch time. I take time to set up my bench with the color combinations of glass, stringers and complicated canes. This way I have the color pallet all at my finger tips. The first bead I make in a set is the largest focal. I really like to do this to set the style of the beads. I used the fourth slot in my gold bar press for this focal, it is bit larger then a quarter. Then I make the next sizes down in two's until I make enough for the set I want. Last a few spacers to match the set. This set is posted on E-Bay : }
