The Gallery Monday 25th June - Sunday 1st July

[Josephine]

Pretty necklaces Suzanne.

I had a go at a brooch. I have to say, I found it such a fiddle trying to sew the wired beads onto the ribbon that it may well be my first and last!

it was deffo worth tbe hassle though ! :-)

[suzanneC]

I agree with you Josephine that's the bit I really don't like, seems to take ages. I wore one the other night and was surprised how comfortable and light it was.

Quite a quiet week it seems - is it coz Kaz is away?
There's lots of luvverly stuff, but Josephine - I love that fuschia pink heart too, and the opal raspberry (is it?) one on the end
Les - your fairies are so pretty, but that little cat made me smile
Madeline - your little birds are so sweet (and fabulously clever too)
Four days Gaynor? Wow. You were a busy lady! My favourite is the purpley blue focal on the right with the pink murrini - such a gorgeous colour.

I haven't had much torch time recently, but was pleased with these - mainly coz it's the very first time I've managed to apply murrini successfully:

Thanks for looking

[MadelineBunyan]

Thanks for all your kind words on my birdies!
love those spotty dotty rounds! so bright! also well done on the murrini, they look fab! and I like Gaynor's blue focal with the pinky red murrini too!

I really admire everyone who has the patience to make all those components and then to stitch and bind and fiddle it all together like that!

[Jennie Lamb]

Beautiful work everyone...but Madeline I have commented on FB and doing the same here I love your work and those birdies are just stunning!

[Ciel]

Beautiful birds!

More dahlias (which remind me of monarch butterflies) and my own murrini on the green sets

I went water-jet cutting yesterday so have a new creature in the studio!  I tend to put picture on Facebook, so here is the album of the new guys!

Awwwww, I love hedgehogs!!!

Thank you all soooo much for the kind words on my beads, means so much to me x

[spexy]

Such great beads from everyone, but I especially love Madelines birdies and Helens knobs.

I found an old blog from Dora Schubert and got some inspiration for these lentils, I added some dichro to make them my own. I am so pleased with how they turned out.

[Dee Dee]

Love the lentils Linda, and the brooch was really worth all the effort Josephine!  I love the little birdies Madeline - they're fab and the presentation is too! 

Nought from me this week, lacking mojo I think!

[MyPrecious]

Lovely stuff everyone!

[Donna@Rockin' Beads]
