I am so loving your stuff Marcel! I'm now being asked by my OH 'why can't I make bears as wonderful as those!'  ;D :D
Been playing with opals again, and guess where those lovely ribbons came from!  ::) Not sure the black opals work as well as the white

Hello,

Marcel, the bottom bead is fab, I love the way it swirls around.

I'm going to be brave and put mine here too since I'm taking on the dark side..........

Hello again,

it's made from Glass Alchemy 864 Sienna Brown, the hole runs from inbetween the ears to the crook of the jaw. This picture shows it better.

I'm finding these blown beads a hard habit to shake at the moment but am quite pleased with this one:

It is quite long, can't find my measuring thingy but I think about 60mm

You know how it goes, 'what do I make next with some glass and a touch of brassy goldy coloured metal?' 'Humm..... how about some dog whistles?'

I know it's not September any more, but can I just squeeze this in?

It's part of a piece for the Scottish Glass Society auction tomorrow, and I need to finish it today. I'll post a pic of the finished piece later, if it survives... ::)
