I cleaned my shop last week and found a bunch of focals that I thought I should use before I forgot about them again.  I'm not really sure I like what I've done with them but at least now they're in something. There
s somebody to buy everything so I know they'll sell but I don't know that I'll make any more of them.  Anyway, thought I'd post the pics anyway.  If anyone wants the patterns pm me and I'll send it to you.

Those are neat... I don't think I've ever seen "focals" before or if I have I didn't pay any attention to them...

Wow, Anne, those are beautiful. It almost looks as though you could put a little vase in the center and display some flowers in it.

Thanks, they are so neat that you have made the decision for me to swing it not anchor it. Love the ones in the first photo.

Hey Linde, that's a good idea, just have to blow the patterns up for a vase.  Ok, now that means I have to get a drop mold and some bigger posts for the kiln.  Look what you've started Nancy!

chemistry test tubes would work too for small cut flowers or for rooting cuttings

Giggle I have 3 drop mold discs going in the kiln as we speak:)

Nice pieces Anne! I love the richness of the cobalt blue ones.
