8.9.2017 - Be Still My Heart!

Remember to come by the Weekly Update tonight at 9pm Eastern - http://www.jillsymons.com

While I have been dabbling in opaque glass and finding my voice there.  I dipped my toes back into the realm of transparent glass and have fallen in love all over again.  I think, (this is big for me)... that out of all the styles I make - sets like these just make my heart pound.   I think these define me - and I'm pleased with that!!  
Light and airy hollows, three big ones front and center... flanked by tall thin light/color transmitting disks (...which serve also to keep the hollows elevated) and several other smaller hollows & disks.  Am I the only one who feels wearing necklaces in the middle of summertime is sometimes too hot?  Are you laughing?  These beads allow the largest ones to float - while the disks are what touch your skin.

Crazy, I know... 
smiles, Jill

On a side note: I was contacted last night by someone who said they loved my hollows (blush, thank you!!) and wanted me to do a tutorial on them.  It seems a little like re-inventing the wheel to me sometimes though... as there are plenty of people who make hollows.   I'll think about it though - and we shall see.
