Filling the B&B Trays

Sorry these aren't fancy pictures but my time is so limited to get ready for B&B that I'm foregoing any regular set-ups at the moment.  More hearts in different colors....I thought I better throw some bright ones in there in warmer colors too.  I have quite a few in the blue range (must have had blue on the mind - LOL - or at least my head).

Fronts of the heart sets with complex twisties and those wonderful petal beads.  I love making those petal beads.

Hearts Keep Coming...

These hearts are all gussied up and ready to photograph

I'm on a roll here and expect to do one more batch of hearts today - maybe with eyes on them or flowers.  I'm not sure yet.  I'll let the mood take me wherever it goes.  Maybe I'll go into my stash too and add some clay pieces to these.  I think I have some clay hearts stashed away from my fall earthenware session.

 

Yesterdays heart batch fresh from the kiln this morning

The largest one will be sandblasted - too bad all of the great underlying silvered glass doesn't show in this picture.  Ack, look at that old yellow Formica on my counter - I guess it's update or move! Oh, if it were only that easy to do that.

Back to the torch...I'm definitely not done with this theme yet.  It's my time of year!

 

Hearts, fresh from the kiln

Not even off the mandrels yet!  This is part of yesterday's session and today's haul from the kiln.  I've never met a heart I didn't like and I'm feeling very Spring oriented.  To me Valentine's Day hearkens the coming of Spring and new flowers.  Besides, it's unseasonably warm around here - the snow is melting and the sun is out.  YES!
