Right chaps
This is the 6TH tutorial challenge on Frit happens and it is for one month only and it is
VESSELS
http://www.beadworx.com/HowToMakeAVessel.html
I chose this tutorial as we had a vessel swap and it would be superb if more people can play next time!!!
Just follow the tutorial and away you go!!!
Sound good?
So lets go!!!
The next tutorial will be in September
This was fun! My first two attempts at vessels! I'm going to make lots more cos it's a bit addictive. :o

not brilliant - made it too big on too small a mandrel but ok for a first try :)

I tried my first vessel today- it's slightly different to the tutorial.. great fun though!
Thought I'd have a go,

It's a bit wonky and should have been done on a 5 mm mandrel but it was fun.
;D
Lovely vessels everyone - my technique wasn't quite the same as the tutorial as I'm trying to consolidate what I learnt on my course last week :) The lip is a little on the large side :'(

I love vessel beads, these are lovely, here is mine, once I started making them I coulden't stop so ended up with three that I will have for sale at Stourbridge including this one (unless I make some more that is).
