At last I got to trying some focals! Made them a bit smaller and changed the patterns a little. The photo's are'nt that great, but the 'Diamonds and Pearls' one is ice crystal irrid with freshwater pearls trim and a mother-of-pearl shell.
The two 'clear' looking ones are actually glue chip, one with a quartz crystal point. The other two 'twirlies' hail from my 'torchwork with scrapglass' experiments.
And then - just because small things amuse small minds - I made up a few mini's with the offcuts from above! What can I say - I had fun!!!

You beat me to it! I was mulling over some scraps and nuggets and figured they needed iridized! Oh well back to the bigger stuff!
.... and I think your mind by far eclipses that old adage.

I like them Beth! They are interesting to look at, you incorporated some "found" objects that are neat! What better way to use up glass scraps!
You just never know..you might come up with your next "Best Seller" that way.

O.K. - 3rd time lucky! I think that last one was too big & caused the hassles! Sorry. Learning curve still.

The offcuts are nice, but I'm glad that you managed to add pictures of the focals with the adornments, beautiful indeed. Love the one with the pearls and also the blue w/the swirly glass in the center, also really like the wire wrapped crystal.
I'd love to have a dollar for the number of times I thought I'd resized a picture small enough, only to find out that it wouldn't load. Ah well, a necessary process, just wish my memory banks would hold onto the correct size. LOL
Thanks for persevering! De

I agree with Joan, the 3pcs say more than 2. The ribbon twist gives it a lighter look.

You ladies sure have a way with adornments...I guess that's a genetic or cultural thing huh?

Third one is my fav, too. I love the swirlies in the centers. (My spell check says that swirlies isn't a word. Who would have thunk it - oops - there it goes again)
