Valentine's Day Blob Report

happy Valentine's Day from Nora Reed Designs (pictures of glass hearts and rainbow abstract glass murrine art)

Hope you're all holding together okay! I have some firings to show you! They're not really that blobby, frankly. I was working on the pre-blob stage. They will blob at a later date.

Most of what's in the molds is available for sale now, though a few of them already sold. I redesigned the site this week, so if you have feedback on how to make it work better I'll take it into consideration, and I'm offering coupon code LAYOUT for 10% off through the end of the weekend to thank y'all for putting up with my dust 💜

kiln shelf with blue sheet covered in pink and clear frit + 6 molds for circles and ovals, mostly in greens, rainbows and purple
the very top picture has fully melted. the sheet is still a little bumpy
kiln shelf with a big blue sheet covered in white and clear frit and assorted molds full of frit. the most interesting color scheme is a pink and green one. one of the molds is in the shape of a weirdly realistic mushroom
everything has fused nicely. the sheet is brown, white and green. the mushroom didn't have enough frit

And I have some mold firings!

kiln shelf with round cabochon molds filled in with red, blue, caramel and rainbow murrine, round pendant molds with yellow frit, blue murrine, blue and a green frit with caramel murrine, oval molds with purple/pink and yellow, heart molds with green blue and yellow
all the pieces in the molds have fused and the yellow is a red orange now

they have fused into finished pieces!!

And here's a couple close ups on those part sheets from upthread.

zoom in on the sheet, it's a scale like pattern with white, brown and blue
piece of glass in blue and pink and purple with clear bits that look like cells

Thanks for reading! I hope you're holding up as well as you can.
