Boro for me - what a difference!!!!!

[richsantaclaus]

I took the leap and tried another attempt at boro marbles. My first was a total bomb!!!!! I did learn though. Here are pix from my 2nd and 3rd tries at this really stiff stuff that needs a BIG torch to melt! I sure am glad I invested in a minor/major torch 2 years ago. I am learning how to switch back and forth depending on what I feel I need to do...lol.

I'd appreciate your comments - please!!!!! I tried several things as you can see. Implosions, bubbles, vortex, twistie, double fold and even tried to make a marble that looks like my liquid amber tree in my yard!

Looking good. Just be warned, however, once you start making stuff with boro, it's hard to go back to soft glass. I know I haven't picked up a rod of soft glass for about a year now...
