Goddesses
These beads get their own entry!
I was inspired to make the goddess beads in two ways. One was the show and tell threads on the Lampwork Etc. every day. Those goddess beads are lovely! The second way was my friend Sue who had a double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery. She was commenting that now she has incredibly nice boobs.
I made this red one first. For some reason these haven't been all that hard. The glass flows into the womanly shape rather easily.
This blue one was a little more embarrassing to make. Jim wanted one for him. Saturday night I fired up the torch. Made some beads to loosen up. Grabbed the blue rods and went to work. The neighbor man came by to borrow the ball pump...followed by his grandsons. Like all people who fisrt see the torch, they were curious. I explained what I was doing. And they stayed to watch for awhile. Do you know how nerve-wracking it is to add nipples while the entire neighborhood watches? I felt a little perverted! lol
I think of the red one as "perky Hothead"--great porn name, huh?
