This is one of the more successful ornaments I made at the workshop eariler this month. One of the changes they’d made at the MAC glass studio since I’d been there the last time is that the frit is in larger pieces. It makes it harder to pick up, but the colors can be more intense. I used small white frit on the first pass, and then used larger frit with the second pass, for a nice textural effect. I also spun it a little so that I’d have some movement. The only drawback to this one is a sharp ridge near the loop.
