Of course I finally got my torching table set up with the new Creation Station in place, which means I had to take it out for a test drive. The first night I made a few purple beads with purple frit, just because I love purple. (Well, duh!!) The only problem I had was the frit got a little more "done" than I like, but they are still pretty. The next night I made a variety of beads, including an experimental wavy bead. You would never recognize it as such, but it was fun to try anyway. I discovered it is much harder than it looks to melt down, and it was easier to place those dots than I thought. So i am sure it won't be my last attempt. I also made a SW bead from the tutorial I was gifted, and a red bead wrapped in silver, and of course a heart. They are what I make when I can't figure out what else to make. Here they are. I plan on making more tonight. Wish me luck.

Rita, I can't get over how quickly your have improved with your bead making skills! I'm jealous! The beads are great!
Rita, they're gorgeous! When are you going to turn them into wearable pieces? Maybe you're like me ... I just made necklaces with beads I made over the last couple of years!
Way to go Rita! Your bead making skills are on a hot roll!! I'm looking forward to your blog in one year - just to see how far you progress! At this rate, you'll be an expert in no time! :)
