Orange and silver lampwork???
Geez, there are sooo many posts... how do I keep up??? It seems like I
can either be a mom and make beads, or be a mom and keep up with this group, but not all three! Anyway, I recently have been having oodles of fun with, among other colors, my beloved Bullseye transparent orange and silver wire, and I LOVE the results... but I kept feeling like they were somehow familiar! Yeah, I realize that I made them, but I mean, MORE familiar, like I'd seen them somewhere before. I finally realized that a few months ago, someone here posted a link to a set of lovely orange beads with silver! Now, first of all I want to apologize if the maker thought I was deliberately copying them, and second, I was curious about whether whoever it is still has a pic of them... I'm wondering how closely my subconscious ripped off the design. I guess orange with silver wire is an inevitable combination if you love orange and love playing with silver wire, but still, I wanted to make sure I wasn't stepping on any toes! In other news, I got my oxygen concentrator and I LOVE IT, and I'm going to buy a second one so I can use it with oomph on my Midrange. I can't emphasise how much I'd recommend one of these to anyone working with a smaller torch! I took a chance and got mine on eBay, but I'll probably go ahead and get a second one from Paulette at Suncoast Beads. -- -Kalera Mom of Juliet, 5, Sam, 3, and Ophelia, born 5/31/03 Wife of the incomparable Moxley of www.spaceplex.com See us at www.strattonhome.org |

I'd say it was like learning a language by the immersion method, from
what I've seen. Deirdre On Tue, 29 Jul 2003 21:38:59 -0400, "CLP" wrote: And you've only been doing this 9 months?! How did you learn so much so quickly? |

No idea about the orange and silver lampwork, but I wanted to comment about
the concentrator - I am waiting on mine and I am so excited!!!

Can you post a link to your orange and silver beads? I'd love to see them.
My favorite color to paint in is orange. It's my happy color. I can work for days on a painting that has blues, violets, or any other color than orange or finish a huge orange painting in a manner of hours. My fellow artists get a big kick out of watching me paint in orange because it makes me so happy. Starlia "Kalera Stratton" wrote in message ... Geez, there are sooo many posts... how do I keep up???

Kalera,
I love to fuse with transparent Bulleye orange as well, usually I use one of the Mardis Gras clear with stringers over it. You know, I never used to like orange, but I dyed my gray, formerly black hair, blondish and now I find I like a whole new set of colors. Patti |

There's just one up here, but you get the general idea; they're transparent bright orange with an opaque core, and I make them in various shapes with varying colors of raised dots.

I love that bead, too.
Speaking of orange and green, I've noticed lots of orange and green around recently-- not just in jewelry, but generally in design. There appears to be a real retro seventies thing going on, at least here in Philadelphia. Is this going on elsewhere, too, or is the retro thing just really big where I am?
