Lovely beads Jaz - that orange is scrumptious - I might have to get me some of that. ;D

I broke out various trans and opaque oranges and yellows, and these 'Sunspot' beads dropped off my mandrel, best put on your sunglasses. ;D

Fab stuff everyone.

I dunno if I am too late....
I've done 2 sun pieces, one a rainbow sun and one firely sun pendant. Pictures are a tad poo, much nicer in real life!

OK, so here are my sun beads, just a bit of fun, and fun to do. Sorry they're late, I've had a few problems fitting in torch time and getting my kiln to anneal.

2 sets of beads, first a spikey sun set,

then a bead with a Van Gogh inspired sunflower and a sun on the back of the same bead.

Seeing it's still April, thought I'd stick another effort in here - please excuse the bead release, not got around to cleaning it yet!
