| The November Beer and Beads was held at Andrighetti Glassworks, in Vancouver. It was another "Moretti-free" night, as boro was the theme. |
 |
 |
Both Joanne and Maria were working at the torches. |
Joanne was using "envy green" and Maria, "midnight blue" |
 |
 |
Maria started by making a spiral on her mandrel |
|
 |
 |
She lays down a contrasting colour, in between |
|
 |
 |
She now encases the spirals |
Marvering the bead into shape |
 |
 |
Melting, shaping and reducing to bring about the beautiful colours that boro produces |
What a beauty!! |
 |
 |

Everybody was welcome to give boro a try. |
Despite the look of concern on Melanie's face, she really was having a good time. |
