WOW! These textures and shapes look amazing, not to mention the colors. You really seemed to work it out, whatever it was, lol! Excellent work.


Do you have any of these left?

For the first time when I looked at it my thought was ~ What the hell is it??! ~ but.. okay, I still can't decide what to think about, but one thing is sure: the title fits perfectly

Thanks Athreana (I love your name!!!). I appreciate your input I've never taken classes in lampworking so my styles tend to be, um, unique and (laughing) a little out in left field. These freeform beads are waaay out in left field, and definitely not for everyone I was really happy with the way that the colors played with each other though.

Ooh, there is nothing wrong with your style, I have never even heard about this lampworking craft-maker thing, so i'm just watching it as newborn watches the world around itself. I just said that it is strange for me

As for my name, i'm glad that you like it, Thank you Dear!
It was the name of my own character in a role.play game. She was blonde, with curly hair and a shy, pure girl who was afraid of the dark. Her name was Athrea, and I had a bard, called Anatia (She didn't fear the dark, but was similar to Rhea in outlook, but less shy and more energetic and silly) And I didn't know how to call Athrea in a nickname, so I mixed the Ana (my chosen nickname) and Athrea. So this is the story of AthreAna.

LOL! That's how we learn new things, and there's always so much out there to learn!

I love the story of AthreAna - thank you for sharing her, and both of the unusual and wonderful women that each became a part of her!

Athreana In reply to Ironmountain01 [2012-12-11 07:10:38 +0000 UTC]

Yes yes! (that is why I love DA, I have met with a lot of new ideas here(L))

Hehe, thank you, dear. I have submitted yesterday a poem (the original in Hungarian, but I have translated it to English, and well, I'm contented with it.) Under the poem there is quite a novel as explanation, as I have written the story of Athrea there in short. If you are interested, I would welcome you on my profil. )

Wear this to your test, and they will probably be scared enough to give you an A without even needing to take the test (mwahahahahaha)!

LOL! Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on how you look at it, they already sold.

I make the freeform beads to work out stress, anger, sadness, confusion, lonliness, rage, despair, insecurity... anything like that. When I'm happy, etc. I can make the tedious, precicely shaped "normal" beads. Make sense?

Means we just need to see a lot more tedious ones!

The contrast between the shiney colours and the smooth cream is gorgeous! And I love the shapes you've got there, too.

Ironmountain01 In reply to Franken-Jewels [2012-12-09 10:48:54 +0000 UTC]

Thank you, Franken! I mand several small freeform beads and then etched them, using a release selectively over areas that I wanted to stay smooth. These were experimental. I appreciate your input!

Wow. Sounds like a lot of work went into them.

Ironmountain01 In reply to Franken-Jewels [2012-12-11 01:35:33 +0000 UTC]

Definitely! Each bead took me about ann hour to make. The longest that I've ever spent on a bead is 5 hours but I've definitely heard of ones taking longer...
