| Rainbow Kaleidoscope |
I'd joked that I was going to name it "Two And A Half Hours And A Burnt Hand" which pretty much sums up what it took to make this piece. Anyone familiar with my work knows I'm a bit partial to rainbows... in this case, I decided to use *all* the colours; the result was that it took 2½ hours to carefully melt the layers whilst making sure the disc didn't melt down or become too wibbly. At the end, I was so tired that I became careless and forgot that the end of glass rod that's fresh out of the flame is HOT!

My problem is that now I've made a bead with which I'm rather chuffed, how do I price it in such a way that I'm covering not only my time but the skill involved in making it? I don't intend to charge extra for the burn as that was my own silly fault ;)
Advice and suggestions appreciated...
