Beadpress Chunky HEART presses show and tell

[Maria Louisa]

I'm so happy. Thanks to the help of Kaz and Diane for giving me the right directions I finally managed to make a perfect heartpress.

We made 2 different presses:

a Chunky HeartTrio with 3 sizes in it: 18, 22 and 27mm
The heart goes from bold at the top to slim at the bottom, it's such a great shape.
you can choose for the mandrell to go horizontally (out of center) or vertically (from top to bottom).

The other press is a perfect 3cm chunky heart.

I'm doing the happy dance here.
Hope to come with pictures tonight.
I've made beads with it already and they are so perfect.

Thank you all for your patience with me.

Pictures then. Hope you all like them.

Here's the TwinHeart 3cm:


And this is the HeartTrio press 17, 22 & 27mm with the mandrel horizontal offcentre:


This is the HeartTrio 17, 22, 27mm with the mandrells vertical, from top to bottom:


For seeing the shape of the heart, going from bold to slim, a 3cm heart :


Cause I hadn't brought this to the Flame Off,
there is a discount of 10% in my shop for these shapes till the end of May.
And paypal is possible.

My first attempt:

Still struggling to get a good vertical one without burrs.

[Lush!]

   Blush!   

Yep, early indications are .. I think they're ..........FAB!



This one is the biggest in the Trio.  I love how well its tapered at the bottom, the proportion looks really good, Maria Louisa.

Good times 

[Lush!]

Here's a few from my first play - I like the shape, I definitely really like the biggest one in the Trio as it feels quite long for the width.

well im nowhere near as good as Julie but here are the results of my first play with the press

i love the shape, just need to work on my sloppy decoration!
oh i dropped the blue one just after i took this picture and it broke   but nice and clean so i will glue it back together and put it in the vase on the kitchen windowsil
