{crop_alt}opaque curliQ and gravity swirl hearts

{iprc}These are not terribly exciting beads, and I'd originally
planned to show the whole series together. Alas and alack, I wasn't
*that* organized, so I will now be spreading heart goodness over
several days. But the world could certainly use a little more love,
right?

{#ip}Given my usual reaction towards cuteness, I suppose
 it's even a little odd that after rounds, this is the
 next most common production shape I make. (Ah, but
 there's the sensuality---as well as the frustration---of
 shaping the humps, so perhaps it's the challange, the
 hope that *someday* I will master this shape that
 keeps it so alluring...)

{p}I made a series of hearts for Valentine's Day, mostly in the
traditional pink, white and red colors.  Here is a selection of
opaque curliQs and gravity swirls:

{p}Bullseye has a very nice assortment of pinks and purples, (not to
mention stringers, though I think the red is actually uroboros) so
that's the glass I chose to make this series.
