Ofcourse there is more you can make with hot glass except from beads. One of the thinks I'm working on to improve my skills at the moment are small vessels. You can hang them on a leather cord or silver chain and fill it with your favorite perfume or essential oil.

Here are some of the vessels I made last week:

The glass I used for this vessel looks like liquid soap or shampoo... soft, shiny and an absolute gorgious shade of blue

I'm really happy with the way this one looks... elegant and stylish! The glass used is a vetrofond odd lot called "Belgium lace" with purple for the "stripes" and silvered Ivory for the small dots.

Oh and about the small challange I brought upon myself... it didn't work for me yet. Yesterday I did some playing with Photoshop and Illustrator but nothing memorable came out, so nothing to show on that front yet ;)
