Oh, you l'il heifer! I could say a real bad ugly word here. SEE - we told you it was easy. This is the most beautiful BB I've seen in ages. I can't BELIEVE you waited this long to start. This is spectacular. Lordy, child - GEESH - NOW w/you get over the fear and get on w/it? This does NOT look like a first project. Looks as if you've been doing this for YEARS. GEESH - and to think - it took you so long to dive in. There's no stopping you now. I'm gonna go have a margarita on my patio to celebrate w/you. B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L.!!!!!!!!!!

As soon as my hands heal I will start another project. I had bleeding knuckles and punctured paws. I do not have a saw or grinder yet. I've got to pay some dues just starting out. OUCHHH, whine, whine.

I can not imagine being at the place where some of you guys are. Looking at your stuff amazes me. Slow- you just blow my mind. And the rest of you do too.

I am not new to crafting but this was a large step for me. I broke so many plates I feel like I've been to a greek wedding!!!! OOUUPAAAAAA ya'll!

That dance is now my new "In The Garden Dance!!!"lol! DH will certainly be surprised!!! AND I LOVE the Bowling ball...EXCELLENT job!!! I was even typing to that tune! It kinda catches you!ha!

Oh Susie girl... you outdone yerself!!!! Lovely!!!

Very pretty!

Susie it turned out beautiful! I'm so glad you finally jumped in and did it. Try wearing some leather gloves to save the hands. If you get a pair that fits well it is just like using your bare hands....except that your hands don't get all the cuts and punctures. I wear them whenever I am working glass. My kids each have their own pairs too so they can help in the studio without injuries. Don't stop now! I can't wait to see what you come up with next.
