opinion about lentils

Oooooh! Wouldja believe we see quite a few lenticular clouds out here??? I
told my DD about them back in the mid 90's, and used them on a radio show
(well, SHE did) to "Stump the Science Guys" (she won a T-shirt and free
passes to the planetarium). They tend to "grow" near the Superstition Mts on
a seasonally regular basis. I was thrilled when we saw our first real one 2
years ago. And it was VERY UFO-like. (no snow, though, tyvm)

Both of which derive their name from "lens". Lenticular clouds are the
ones
that presage a snow storm, and are sometimes mistaken for flying saucers.

Lentils, the seed (a legume and therefore sometimes referred to as a
bean) share a name-origin with glass beads of the same shape; both are
lens-shaped. A lenticular object is a lentil.

You mean the * Bean * not the shape?


I mean lentils, the seeds - that's where the descriptive shape of
your
beads came from. Lentils aren't beans. I could say seeds too, but that
would imply a different kind of bead, even if they were *real* seeds.
So
confusing.


I'll use lampwork in the description next time, thanks

I have made only a few Lentil sets and was curious about
decorations,

they

are challenging for me because the decorations distort when smashing
and

I

find it hard to get a consistent shape ( exact duplicates ) I made
this

set

yesterday, I had to make 20 to get 15 I would conceder selling. I
need

some

constructive criticism on this set
(you wont hurt my feelings if you don't like them)
what type of design would you like to see on lentils?
i.e.: raised dots, melted dots, organic, flowers, bright colors

I like 'em as they are, actually. They're a very elegant shape- the
colours might work even better if they're different shades of the
same
colour (dark blue and light blue). My one complaint- I thought you
were
talking about real lentils (since I'm working with *real* lentils
right
now).

They form when a colder wind comes over the mountains above warmer wetter
air on the lee side. The "shape" of the wind coming up and over is what
gives the clouds that curve on top.

LOL! How funny! My husband (now-ex) HATED it, and always wanted me to
take it out. (Of course, he wanted to change everything about me.) I
tried to explain to him, "No, I'm not doing it (pierced, tattooed,
whatever) to be *different*, I'm doing it 'cause I think it's *pretty*!"

I'm a pretty simple girl, really... I am as motivated by 1.pretty,
2.shiny, and 3.chocolate as the next chick! Also, beer and pizza. And
donuts. Oooh, I guess I'm more complicated than I thought!

LOL...sounds like we are sister's in art. I had my nose pierced too. Not
because everyone else is doing it, but because it so fits my personality.

LOL it's true... but I do what I like, whether it is or is not popular,
even if that means sometimes I'm doing exactly what everyone else is
doing! When I got my nose pierced in 1992, one of my friends scoffed at
me, "But *everyone* is doing that!"

Yes, and I didn't let it stop me just because I'm supposed to be
"different". I'm doing plunged florals for the same reason. They're not
commanding much, price-wise, because I think the market is "over"
them... but I think it's an important skill to master, and I like them,
and each skill fits into a bigger picture in the long run.

...and I must be missing something because I just don't like them all
that much. Here are my lentil thoughts:

The Good Thing:

Shape is kind of nice for bracelets because I'm guessing they would
lay nicely.

The Not So Good Things:

Made with a mold, which kind of turns me off
AND
Everyone and their uncle is making them.

That last thing alone is enough to keep me from doing them. LOL!
