Love your beads Manda!
Some lovely beads again on here again!
I had a good day in the workshop yesterday and these are my makings:

Thank you!
Got a couple more sets out of the kiln so far this morning. A couple of other sets are being tumbled in the stone tumbler as I write!

.........crumbs!!!!! :D There's some gorgeousness on here this week. New Year's res (again :P) to post on the gallery more often. So here's my offering for this week.
Tutti Fruity....sold but I thought I'd show anyway as it's a nice warm sunny citrus set

These are my final sets this week (I think) as they've been tumbled this morning to give a lovely soft 'sea glass' finish.

This is only a first attempt, mind .. but I thought I'd try painting a person onto a bead instead of a cat .... this is my daughter, Poppy :)
(http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/ad342/madcatglass/DSCF2259.jpg)
It was a really interesting bead to attempt .. there are lots of consideration I need to make when I try it again ... the biggest one is the back ground colour, I think :)
Oh and here's the offending daughter :P

Poppy's lovely Les, both her and the bead.
More Bombay sapphire beads. They really look good together, really shiny.

Bombay Sapphire BHBs (http://www.flickr.com/photos/helenpetersbeads/5329486435/) by HelenPetersBeads (http://www.flickr.com/people/helenpetersbeads/), on Flickr
The BHBs are crying out for their insides to be polished. Can anyone point me in the direction of who sells it please.
Also some BHBs made from some of Christina's raku frit mixes. I was heating and heating (and losing control of the glass), then cooling and gently heating to get the raku to strike. I don't think I was successful, but they're really pretty anyway. Unfortunately my favorite, the blue one, has a crack through it.

Wow! 7 pages of gorgeous beads already... you have all been very productive. I had to stop torching for most of december as the weather was so cold and we had lots of snow...
Now the snow is melting and I have gone back for 2 days...now the water from the nearby river is rising and we had to evacuate my studio because of the water >:(
I managed to make a few beads and have a set of multicolor dark to show:
(http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.206086969.jpg)
and another joint effort (hope nobody minds finished stuff going in here, I feel a bit of a fraud starting new threads though)
Yet another of Julie HB's delicious cabs - this one is one of my absolute favourites - in a commissioned ring.

Apologies for the photos - the light here is terrible today!

I tend to go a bit mad when I get a colour combo that pleases me. I started with a necklace (previously posted I think) and earrings, then a set for etsy - and I still had some left over so made myself a bracelet.
Its called Minky Pinky, on stretch magic (or similar)
Sorry about the rubbish pic. I couldn't be bothered to get my big camera out so used my point and press, the light wasn't brill so I had to photoshop it - and needless to say overdid it.

I'd like to share my recent experiments with you guys ... they are still developing, but I am getting rather pleased with the results ....
This one started out as a face experiment and just grew a bit :)
(http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/ad342/madcatglass/DSCF2471.jpg)
and these two are more experiments with shorter hair styles :)

Lesley, your face and kidlet beads are so beautiful! I LOVE them!!!
I have a few sets to show that I found back while cleaning and rearranging my studio. They had been intended for a bead show and to prevent myself from using them for jewellery, I hid them..and then forgot about them :o

Gulp, what a week. Rocky, those bails, do you mind saying if they are the screw on/change a bead type, and if so, how do you get them to fit all your beads so neatly?
Anouk, Gabrielles wings, I'm speechless!
here are my offerings
Had a go with my BIG lentil press, a whopping thing, but my goodness normal lentils seem so diddly to manage after practising with this.

That little extra confidence push helped me sooooooo much . Thanks Kaz ever so.
Many apologies I had to make flikr private as my ex husband is still stalking me 6 years on sorry folks
Wow I am in awe of everybody.
I havent posted much on here as I am still so new to bead making or feel that way.
Only been beading since September but I made my first dotty sets a couple of weeks ago and I took them out of the kiln this week so if no one would object I will just put a couple of images up.
I am going through what my OH has so kindly said is my "dotty" period. Not quite sure what he means .........

All beautiful so far, but Rita the colours in those beads are fab, and Helen - I think you've definitely got your groove in with those BHB's.
This is what I made with the single rod of Striking Color that I bought from Anouk:

He just came up to the doors smiling ( hubby that is ) scared the S**t out of me nearly sending the bead I was doing flying into the air. :o ;D

....sorry for the hog!!
(http://www.lesleymcfarland.com/21bead/Baby%20robins%20sm.jpg)
Hi everyone, lovely jubblies in here, these are my "feed me, feed me, baby robins".
No time like the present, so here is my first effort to make the Bronwen Heilman style bead using fine stringer.
As you can see I forgot about the mouth and the chin and the mouth is too big anyway and I diden't manage to press it correctly, but I am fairly happy for a first effort.
Back and front of the same bead.

Oh and I made a bead I call "Bluebirds"
again not quite right yet, I will carry on practicing
(http://www.lesleymcfarland.com/21bead/Bluebirds.jpg)
You can tell I'm tired - I can't remember all that I've seen to post comments in one go! (Or perhaps I'm going senile! LOL!)
Anyway, some more from me...

Vicki - I love the beads you've made following Anouk's tutorial - you've done a fabulous job! The blue one at the top is particularly great!
Jeanie - it's Peacock Green!
I am having a good week (makes a change ;D !!)
Was really pleased when this one came out of the kiln - it went in a bit pale and then all these earthy colours appeared!
(http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5213/5393746237_cb3f3de801.jpg)
Sooo bright and sunny.....
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4099/5393745839_706fb67427.jpg)
I made a similar pendant bead and hung it on a silver bail on three strands of thin orange leather - every time I wear someone wants to know where I got it from!
I made myself a knuckle duster

I thought I'd show this heart necklace just finished - the bead was made a few weeks ago but I've just made the necklace up as I haven't torched since because I've had (another!) bad cold.

Just thought I'd add to the valentines theme with a dotty heart necklace I made with my lampwork bead and some other sets I've made today.

The ones on your website I mean , sorry for the misunderstanding. You have beads on yr site that are on black and are double helix ontop so I was wondering if you can do that without encasing or does it have a small layer. . They are all stunning on yr site although one problem I think you are under pricing your lovely beads ;D. They are just really scrummy ;D
Thanks Stacey - useful feedback :)
The beads are just plain Hades with a band of Triton on the surface - no clear encasing at all. I just reduce the bead to get the shiny effect from the triton. The Triton and Hades react to give a lace effect on the edges where they meet when heated for a while:

Looking gorgeous Pam, and Chrystal they are so shiny! Luscious, especially the deep pink one :)
This is how my degree show sculpture is coming along. Long way to go yet, but its progressing. I did the selective etching as suggested by loads of you and I'm thrilled with the results, so thanks KJ for the brainwave! ;D

Some seriously lovely stuff on here.
I have been in France since early December with no torch, although I brought some beads to play with - however I ran out of hearts to put on spoons to give little thank you gifts when we go to friends.
Fortunately DD (the lovely AnnaSpanna) made me some and sent them on, I have put them on spoons now in readiness for future invitations. I am so pleased I just wanted to say a public THANK YOU ANNA xxx

Wow - what a fantastic start!
Pam - I love the nugget shapes
Chrystal - you have some gorgeous hot pinks
Helen - Lovely beads but I'm intrigued by the sculpture - what are you working on?
Kaz - Your rounds look like sweeties -yummy!
Jayspangles - I'm sure they'll be welcome gifts
Michelle - more gorgeous pinks!
I haven't been on my torch for weeks but have managed to get sometime to play with my new beadrollers.
I have some ribbed beads (I'm sorry it still makes me giggle ::))

Mangolo Beads ..... Wear them on anything, anyway you want to ........ These beads all made on big mandrels from 6 - 12mm will thread onto most accessories. Available as collections and some as repeatable designs they are coming any time to the web site :)

SIL rang last night, which reminded me that MIL's birthday is not so much sneaking up on me as charging headlong. So I got some more time on the torch today and made a little owl family (much better than the pseudo owl/disguised penguin she got for Christmas) for her.

They're a bit manic looking still, but much better than before. I must give a huge thanks to everyone here who's posted owls recently, made me realise I was going wrong by not adding ears!
And I've been making buttons like mad....

Good Morning everyone....I've always wanted to start one of these, but am never usually up early enough!
This is me playing with Clio again, my favourite glass at the moment.

Becky, these faces are AMAZING!!!
I am not terribly inspired for the moment, so I am mostly making spacers and small simple sets.
These are one of my favorite colour combinations: turquoise, purple and raku:

Gorgeous faces Becky!
Here are some more dots, you are probably bored by now, but I was thrilled to pull these out of the kiln!

Nothing terribly exciting but was rather pleased with this commissioned heart turned out :)

Kazx
Sorry - can't resist posting these as well!
And then it's off to the shedio with me - to go dotty mad as I have just discovered a huge stash of the Reichenbach 96 intense transparent rods that you can use sparingly with 104 (like frit!)

Oh my my, I've only looked back a couple of pages and this is a fantastic Gallery. I'm gonna post and run back to the beginning of the thread and have a proper look.
I'm working on some Seaside beads for an exhibition. I dusted off my beadliner this morning and cored this one.
(http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5294/5438143935_f569e3815f.jpg) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/lushlampwork/5438143935/)

I'm sorry ...I seem to be always posting my efforts this week, but I'm on a bit of a roll after a 2 month lack of mojo....
I'm always trying to do the impossible rather than stick to what I know, and this time it was see how long a bead I could make. Very difficuly, as one end cracks before you finish the other, and then the middle cracks because you have been spending too much time on the ends!
However, I did manage six beads, most a bit mucky from re-melting parts of them, and two have small cracks...the longest is 82mm
(http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5018/5438592210_0ae9998c83.jpg) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/50810791@N03/5438592210/)

And this is the one that survived as I planned it....75 mm long

Well, we're going to York for Valentines day, leaving tomorrow, so I can promise I definitely won't be posting any more pics for a bit.
I made another goddess bead, this time in clear and put enamels on it.

My new beads have become something of an obsession and our mandrels have come into their own. My new collection of beads are designed on random size mandrels from 6 - 12mm. They are designed to be worn on anything either stacked or the conventional threaded way. We will be offering chain and suede accessories for these. The beads are going to be sold as collections and some will be repeatable designs. None will be cored ::) and there will be plenty of them !!! ........ just had to share
Sorry for the hog ! ::)

Gorgeous BHBs Helen, I saw Alison's set in real life and they are lovely.
Fab Kaz, I love that olive green in the etched pairs.
I'm deep deep deep in seaside mode, but I tried out a different colour combo last night and I'm liking it very much.

Hey guys! Have been on the torch using my AMAZING new mandrels from Manda (thanks very much they're fab!! ;D) and actually managed to make a few half-decent beads!! :P
Reduced some reichenbach glass and got mirror beads!! :o Well close enough ;) And the middle one has a really lovely dotty pattern that you can't see very well- not being cocky because it wasn't me who did it; it was the GLASS :o

Dean ;D xo
I've just been playing with plain Helios, I did these spacers yesterday, I found if I reduce with a cold (?) reduction flame (the one when you turn your Oxygen down) then reduce with the other one (Propane up) I get a pinky gold finish, like rose gold. Don't know if its striking as I can't seem to get anything out of the glass when I try and strike it normally :-\
Got some more cooking in the kiln so will see how they trun out tomorrow ;)

Ilona! You are on a roll ;D I love the 'baobab' tree and what you have done with the murrini to make trumpet-shaped flowers :)
I've got some more in honour of the day:

Josephine, that goddess is so stunning!
Wooo some very stunning beads, one day when I grow up to be a proper beady maker I might have some half as good as everyones on here!
I absolutely adore the goddess bead and love Julie's seaside bead, all the beads are stunning on here as usual ;D
I have plucked up the courage to post my first pic on the gallery, I love looking every day to see whats been posted but must say have always felt very intimidated, but after all the lovely comments on my bead set I'm venturing on :)
These were made using Kaz's DH frit, sorry pic is quite dark and they aren't brill, I do have a close up of them but you can see all the errors so there is no way I'm posting that!!

Fabulous beads everybody, just love having something pretty to look at at lunchtime ;D
Inspired by all the seaside beads and a pack of Kaz's lovely murrini, I actually seem to have produced something worth posting. Loved playing with my precious rods of Carribean Sea too so we have Barton Beach, a lentil with one of George's fab headpins :) and some spacers, a pair of beads for my interchangeable earrings and my first attempt at a cab - just need to try and set it now!
(http://i591.photobucket.com/albums/ss356/amareargentum/jewellery/IMG_2092.jpg)
Way to go Tan - those are Tantastic ;D ;D ;D
And I love Kaz's EDP - I haven't played with that properly - ever!
I have a couple of sets and focals

Wow, another awe-inspiring week! I'd love to comment on everybody but I think my post would take another page!! (and certain 3 year old won't let me stay here that long!)
Here's a couple from me

Cindi, that is a pretty bead, and I love your wirework!
I've just got to show off what George did to my bead. I don't have any tube big enough to core a 9mm mandrel-er, but that didn't stop our George - she did magic silver stuff and hey presto ....

Such lovely beads this week, I have been dipping in and out. I have actually managed to make some beads AND make them into jewellery!!!! Also had a play with colours that I don't usually use.

I hope the images aren't too big - I have selected the medium 500.....
Here is a murrini blend I am testing for Kaz ... hope it's OK to post Kaz ? :-\
The murrini really pops over the white enamel.

I love those Manda, and the twisties. Les that bead is gorgeous. Terri beautiful nuggety beads.

This customer special order was a remake of my poppy beads from a while ago - but they were 15mm and the customer wanted these at 10mm - so they were a challenge - especially to make the murrini tiny enough to fit 4 on each bead and not to lose the pattern

Oh wow, some more georgeousness this week already. Here is a contribution from me, I bought a dress at the weekend with some birthday vouchers that I have been saving, these beads are inspired the fabric:

So many beautiful beads, and it's only Tuesday!
There was some talk of cross breeding penguins and eagles in the "what does everyone do" thread. As I dared Tan to do that in glass, I realised I wanted to give it a shot myself :D So, here are the "original" birds, a penguin and an eagle. They consist of two beads each, just like my avatar self portrait troll:
(http://rangifer.se/images/penguin_eagle_200.jpg)
And here are the same beads mixed up as an Eaguin and a Pengle. I guess the Eaguin is the one to the right ;D
(http://rangifer.se/images/crossbreeds_200.jpg)
The eagle's body is perhaps a bit too shiny. Just the brown seemed boring, so I gave it some amber lustre dots (I'm playing around with Bullseye glass for the moment) but it's shinier than I expected.
I am loving the murrini beads
I am really pleased with this cab, being my first one that is round, flat and centered
Its Kalypso and I am chuffed with the pinks and purples

I'm not ignoring all the earlier beads, which are all super fabulous, but I can only see a few sets back when replying to this post, so I'll just say:
Kay - loving those mango colours you've got going on there
Les - Loving that cat and moon bead
Christina - fantastic flower murrini
Sarah - wonderful, as always and oh so consistent
BlueKilnBeads - loving those dotties
I have a set to show - I think I was channeling the spirit of Katie Price when I made these! The colour difference between the 2 different glasses is much less in real life - the darker beads are done with Rosato which colour shifts under my daylight bulbs:

Okay, will try again, just posted these in *last* weeks gallery (thought 11 pages was going some for day two!)
Still, six pages of awesomeness already!
Some new coasters from me, fresh out the kiln this morning...

Ruth,
I would etch but that is just me it seems to almost make the redder tones glow. I was super impressed with how the ambient light in a room brings out the glow.
Lovely sets!
Agija- I would love to try boro as well but man with your sculpting talent you would love it! Can't wait to see more!
Here is the first set and focal in my Spring/Summer collection "Las Olas"

Phwoar Dawn. That's fluverly :)
DH asked me last night to give him some bracelets to take in for a colleague to choose from for a leaving pressie. 'She likes purple and black' he said. I had lots of black stuff, but I don't really do purple, so had to make some.
First is a bracelet with my own beads, second is a brangle with a set from Laura Sparling.

I love that dish, and both the bracelets. Do you mind me asking what glass you used George? its a wonderful purple.
Here are some pebble beads from me. I guess I don't many of mine up either.

Zeldazog I love that dish and the way the red seems to float on the red... ??? George those bracelets are georgeous. I have an offering this week. I have been asked to do a commission the brief is 'necklace and earrings in leaf green please'. Fortunately I was able to get her to pick out the glass. This is a bit of a challenge for me because a)there are only two colours and b) I don't automatically reach for green. I pulled out a mini mojo kit from Jolene to spice things up abit,

Non-Bead Warning! In fact totally unwearable at 12kgs of glass...
Finally installed today with the fantastic assistance of Gillian Hamilton from Off Mandrel!
(http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5215/5512996604_ae8b61ae42_z.jpg)
'Glare' is made from water-jet cut 10mm thick float glass which have been screen-printed with images from the Magnus Jackson Photographic collection, which is in Perth Museum & Art Gallery, where this show is on from 26th March till Christmas 2011!
I hope you don't mind the hog, but I'm really not sure which side of this bead I prefer .... here's my favourite from yesterday's session ... 'Walk Along The Edge' :)

It seems a very long time since I showed anything so I thought I would take the plunge and show some of my fused work. Not that these are fused yet as they are still drying out, but I will show how they turn out. They are just over 30cm.

Fabulous work so far - love to see the final fused pieces Sam.
I thought I would share a new style of bead I am working on even though the photo is rubbish. I can't seem to get these to photograph well and they are nicer in real life. They are ASYMMETRICAL and very LARGE!!! They are inspired by three things - Lorna's dragged dots work, Victorian and Arts and Crafts tiles and Moorcroft pottery!!!

Lesley- I love those darling beads my fav has to be the orange one with the raked designs
Dee-Dee- that swirled floral is so captivating it makes me think of Titanic for some reason :D

Lovely beads, as usual. I'm currently so busy this month with various fairs and Birthday parties I have to organise, so I won't be able to get to the torch as much as usual this month :(
Anyhow, this is a set I managed to squeeze in.

I have 2 more Matryoshkas .... the transparent-y one is hard to photograph in the dull back garden ...

Its been a steep learning curve but I am quite pleased :) It will be nice when they are all the same shape ! and the bubble isnt always intentional but was a kind of happy accident !
Oh - lovely start to the week. Gorgeous butterfly bead and the frit beads are yummy.
A few from me that I managed to photograph over the weekend.

This second set is humongous - largest round bead 27mm and smallest 19.5 - I think this will be a keeper as I can't see me making any more of these - they are VERY heavy!!

Lovely beads so far! Love the butterfly, Triton big beads, greeny blue frit swirls, Royalty and Josephones florals in particular (hope I haven't missed anyone).
Here's what I got up to at the weekend. First go at glass blowing on a course at Liquid Glass - absolutley great ;D
These are the first two pieces. Not perfect but I am pretty pleased with them. The rest are still annealing and I have to curb my impatience until they arrive.

Gorgeous beads so far this week, but Manda....wow.
Here is my first attempt at an elephant in Effetre opal rose.
Hes a bit wonky but I think he will be loved by a certain little girl :)

Hi all, lots of lovely,lovely beads as usual. Here's one from me, it's a proto type of bead set that I am making for a friend who is a jazz singer.

Lovely work everybody ! When I look at our weekly gallery, I get an overwhelming sense of pride that I am a part of this community !

Wow, first chance I get to pop in properly and have a good look - what stunning pieces this week!
Les, I love your angels, your little people kinda remind me of the moomins too!
Sam, fan-flippin-tastic! Are they not the unfused ones you showed the other week then?
Just these this week from me - a bit of brightness in the grey!

Hi, I'm also going to make the effort to post something every week!
I've been on a bit of a roll this week - as well as trying to make something for the GBUK competition I made my first hollow and my first goddesses and buttons and the first BHB's that were straight (and round)! I also had a go with some enamels that I borrowed from Kate (You don't suppose she expects to get any back do you) Here's a little selection:

I love those chilli's too ! And what beautiful pinks you have there Rita !

Those are looking great Stacey - I particularly like those twisted silvery lentils!
I have been mad on reactions this week as I am using up that stash of fab rubino I found!!!

And these ones are my favourites - I had been trying to work out how to combine rubino and black and the opal yellow does the trick nicely IMHO

A bit pop art meets Hundertwasser ;D
And I have been making lots of huge BHBs which I will core later this week (including my entry to GBUK comp which I am not showing and it is very different to these)

I couldn't see that anyone had already started this one this week...
I only have one bead to offer, but I am really really pleased with it. It was a bit of an experiment using Sasha's Silver, Aurae Light, and Clio, encased. A bit of a wait and see bead!!
Please excuse the awful reflection of me in the bead cap!

(http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii90/Fruddster/IMGP8817.jpg)
I had a go with a few leaves, some of Isabelle's Frit, the blue bead is a hollow and the pair of blue implosion beads were my first go at Sal's tutorial photo doesn't show them too well!

However after sally showed me how to make one of these beads I couldn't wait to get home and practise. Here's my first set of them using aion glass
(http://i1088.photobucket.com/albums/i325/purple_cobwebs/Paradisefound.jpg)
Lovely stuff so far this week. those angles are sweet and lovely bright ones and those twisty beads are very unusual.
I have had a problem with my camera and a good friend brought hers over today and took some photos for me of these beads.

Sorry if you have seen them on the colour of the month thread already but they are the only photo of new work I have!
There are lovely, lovely beads in here, as always :) I must confess to having a bit of a soft spot for those angels.
I hope you'll forgive a quick post from me - hollow blown boro ovals with flat backs and slightly off-centre hanging holes. They are a fab way to use up all sorts of odd stringer leftovers :) They're quite chunky too, at about 30mm long.

Another couple of pieces I've finally photographed:

I'm inordinately pleased with this simple bead because it's my first go at making my own circular murrini.

This first set are really not my favourites, but it's what was requested and the lady was very happy

Pucker up Baby!! ;D ;D And I remember commenting!!
I made this one at the weekend - and let me tell you it was a labour of love, it's big. It took the best part of 2 rods of glass and an hour to make ........... and it survived!!

I love your rainbow tie dye beads Jane, they are wonderful - I too think, how the heck did you do it!
Great penquins, love your golden haired girlie Les, and Manda, gorgeous as always, wish I could afford one!
OK, so not much from me, still struggling with my mojo, but this bead is the first hollow I have ever made and properly cored and capped - I am really pleased with it. I wanted to fill it with seed beads, but didn't make the hollow space big enough, then I tried glitter, but ended up with it everywhere! I also thought of putting frit in it and Kaz suggested the same (great minds!). So next one I do, I will have a go at that!
(http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5268/5596943657_0bb40dd572.jpg)
Those are stunning Manda!
Les another lovely bead.
Gorgeous rainbow.
That capped hollow is amazing. Must be even harder not to break the bead during caping when its hollow!
I've done some shells.

I have a thing about ogres at the moment so these three were done on the Marshall Hyde course.
(http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1426/5604171/23586151/396244928.jpg) and (http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1426/5604171/23586151/396244929.jpg)
(http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1426/5604171/23586151/396244930.jpg)
I dropped the first two so had to glue them to take photos. I'm definately going to try more representative eyes next time.
Goodness me! Thanks for all the lovely comments about my tie-dye hoop! It sold today (you know who you are - thank you so much!) so I'll have to make another ::)
Vicki, I *love* those hearts, especially the blue one - gorgeous!
Pat - those ogres are fab - wonderful facial expressions :D
Alison - a few people have asked me for a tutorial and I'm seriously considering it - just have to get my husband to agree to take the pics :)
Today's rainbow is in cab form...

Do you think they are too mismatched? Maybe I should find some little yellowy beads for danglies to balance it out?
:)
I'm still playing with Fire Lotus! I love it.

I had a go at some Kaz-esque beads with my new press ... the gold leaf kind of vanished under the encasing. I think I prefer it on the surface ...

First off a HUGE Thank You to all who commented on my beads it warms my heart! :-* Here is a new set from a design I have been throwing around! Iron Age- I was going to call it Hammered but thought twice about that LOL ;D :P
(http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5308/5621294445_ec961ae243.jpg)
So much more since last time I looked. Those spotty dotty hearts are gorgeous. Love the gold foil set and the angels Les. Lovely jewellery Kathryn. The hammered set are very original.

So sorry if you have seen them elsewhere.
Wow, fab ogre - he has a great expression!
I have been back to something I was doing last year, only now it's bigger! I love rainbows and clouds and the like, I must be so naff, I don't really make that many as people don't tend to buy them on my stall but I thought what the heck, I don't care!

I did these shortly after the Flame Off - hadn't had time to get them off the camera!
CiM atlantis again, this time without the accidental rainforest on the ends... It's a bit opaquer and streakier this time round, so I probably got it hotter. (Tricky colour to photograph correctly, too!)
(http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5229/5638954166_13197beecc_m.jpg) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/kalorlo/5638954166/)
This pair are stoneground with Z851 dense lilac rose frit. Mmmm. I grabbed some from Maria Louisa right at the start ;D
(http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5106/5638378553_5d01d0496b_m.jpg) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/kalorlo/5638378553/)
And I got one of Kaz's Lush goodie bags and used it to make a nice beachy lentil. It was also my first go at my new Beadpress SSL lentil duo. I really like the shape it gives. It's also a bit bigger than I'm used to making lentils, so you have lots of surface to decorate (and I haven't tried the larger slot of the two!). The base is Vetrofond ivory with Vetrofond marine green over the top.

Yes that ogre certainly has bags of personality!
I've been working on my murrini and trying to apply them more neatly....unfortunately the glass I use tends to react and go all wishy-washy, but it's an effect I quite like. There's one of Kaz's perfect little ones on the far right heart!

Gorgeous beads so far this week, far too many to mention them all, but I love your Helios beads Gaysie :) and I am now tempted by the Lauscha
I am still practicing with my lentil press I got at FO :) This silver glass is really difficult to photograph and it does look better in real life(honest ;D)

The flower cabs are amazing and I love the landscape beads with the trees and of course the large focal with enamels!!!
I have been using my cherished Z99 enamel lately to make simple and colourful beadies:

Just popped back to post some beads pictures (as promised)which I have made this week and in the meantime such lovelies have appeared particualrly like the cornflower blue Gallardia flower.

I have been inspired by a lady called maybeads on etsy. I bought a Dino from her and I am now trying to perfect my version of hers.
Here he is Mark 1

Big mess up on his face this evening. Eyes melted in too fast as I wasn't paying attention. (dinner was ready and Paul was scoffing his making yum yum noises ::) )
No fingers, eyes still dodgy but I did make his head a bit bigger and his tail is up this time. And he has nose holes.
Loads of work still but at least the shape is regular. Chunky legs are something to think about too, both sides need to be even with no chlll marks.
Actually not many tools are used in making these dinos. I like to use gravity. Thankyou Mr Hyde for that tip ;D
Roll on tomorrow's Dino

Alot better. Eyes are better, nose is better, shape is there but toes are terrible (like my spelling) Need to watch my reheating too, poor thing cracked on the main body.
Another great week in the gallery and too many mention :)
It's been a while since I posted in here so here's my contribution, another organic big hole bead :D

apologies for the hog :)
Messed up the tail and some horrendous thermal cracking going on due to me going back on what I already done and reheating. a no no when it comes to this tiny work.

Thought I'd start us off this week with some I made at the weekend.
I love this green set.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a98/Katiequiggle/P1090870.jpg)
This is a set of big holed beads I made for a friends birthday. Made a little leather bracelet for them to go on.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a98/Katiequiggle/P1090879.jpg)
And this is a little mushroom thimble though I've noticed from the close up photo that its cracked from living in my hand bag for a couple of weeks.
(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a98/Katiequiggle/P1090892.jpg)
Thanks for looking.
I like your mushroom ;D
I've been making BHBs and playing with Bev's BHB multi-roller.
I am still not good at making non-pressed beads with silver glass. I suspect it's still an encasing issue, because I don't manage to round them off without getting them too hot. Marvered or pressed I can get decent results from.
First is aurae splodges over an MCD base. I've mostly lost the iridescence. Second is a cylinder made of atlantis with murrini and MCD dots. 3rd is rather hilarious... Inside is triton over what I think is carrot red. I didn't cover it to the edges and it was hard to see when it was hot. Reduced, encased, got too hot when shaping so I added some of my bigger triton murrini to the top and dot encased them. By this point the bead was rather huge. The murrini look nice, shame about the rest! I had to round it in a doming block because it was too big for anything else.
(http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5204/5723625179_5f61252c4b_m.jpg) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/kalorlo/5723625179/) (http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5184/5724180130_4675c74881_m.jpg) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/kalorlo/5724180130/) (http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5228/5723624821_9dc92c9d6d_m.jpg) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/kalorlo/5723624821/)
First is dirty martini with Kaz's green onions frit, encased. Second is a striking terracotta base with various purple frit and SIS on top. It's supposed to be nuggety, but I possibly didn't emphasise that enough and just made it look uneven. The last is stoneground with dense lilac rose frit. Question is whether to etch it, since there's a fair bit of devit.
(http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5105/5723820463_33207c89bc_m.jpg) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/kalorlo/5723820463/) (http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5141/5724377098_fa3f2a7fd9_m.jpg) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/kalorlo/5724377098/) (http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5183/5723820755_ed891c6ea2_m.jpg) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/kalorlo/5723820755/)
Floral BHBs. My frit stringer devitted a bit on the second one.

This is a twistie test - I've been making some on and off for the swap.
(http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5124/5723819095_60794b8e05_m.jpg) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/kalorlo/5723819095/) (http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3458/5724375692_a75d070f66_m.jpg) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/kalorlo/5724375692/)
Biiiig BHBs. The dotty ones are on a 12mm mandrel, and the flower on a 9mm. The multicolour dark dotty one was the first 12mm I tried and I'm pleased at how even it came out. Most of its layers aren't visible because I made them too thin, but it's a lot less wobbly than the first 9mm one I did. I am really pleased with the big aqua one.

And these are orange and CiM sherwood. I'm trying to make a bracelet for my sister-in-law and it's a tricky colour combination for me! So I'm still working out what to do.

What a fab start to the week. Lovely big hole beads Katie and Kalorlo and twisties! The pale frit set by Lejjewellery- is it rosatto, its so soft and feminine. The lentils are fab Saga Suus. Happy bead Christina, and I love all your face beads Les.
I've been playing with more frit blends this weekend.

Okay. Don't know if this will work, but if it does, this is what I've been working on, and it's now in place next to my front door. Not a bead, but hoped you wouldn't mind...

Blimey - such stunning colours :) - not sure if I should show this one now. This is a bit of an experiment for me so wondered if her face is as obvious to you guys as she is to me.

Hope this works :-[
Dean, hope the exams are going ok. I'm sure you will get the results you want. x
Yay, it did ;D ;D ;D
Love that set Pam. Lots of other great work, beautiful colours in that set Dee Dee.
I've been playing with a bead roller I swopped with Kay for some beads, and inspired by that and Julie's big sets last week, I've made one of my mixed sets but much bigger than usual.....one of my favourite colour combinations.

Very summery Julie. Really nice.
I've been working on a mega set and here they are.

There's even a focal heart and matching earring sets in them.
I am sure it will be a while before I set myself such a big goal again but really pleased with how they have turned out.
Ohh Sally, those guys are great!!

Ooooh, the colours in those are gorgeous.
I've finally made critter beads that vaguely look like the animal I was aiming for! Still need lots and lots of practice though.
(http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/791/crit3.jpg)
Loving the combo of the Clio and the Goldstone....and those Critters are very cute....
I am still hooked on these Star Beads (have posted a few to my website this morning and a couple to Etsy!) I just cannot stop making them....I love that Kailedescope effect the possibilities seem endless...till the next obsession!! Have a good week everyone ;)

Gorgeous stuff, all of it! I saw the star rings earlier on Facebook and thought they looked great, Clio looks like a fab colour and those are great beads, the dogs are just adorable and as for all those roller beads..just wow! :D
I just wanted to show this guy because the colours came out so well... a version of Northstar's Alien Tech (really sparkly blue under a layer of amber purple colour) with less sparkle but plenty of colour!

I've just told my daughter if she really loves me she can save up all her pocket money and buy me a dragon, the reply was 'so you don't want any swarovski crystals then'.... She's going to their factory in Austria on a guide trip!!!!
Love that focal, but I need to see it a bit closer!
Anyway, I don't play in the gallery often because I batch anneal and by the time I've got photos the beads are so old I'm fed up with them and don't want to post. But 3 of these came out of the kiln this morning, the other two are older but I didn't get round to re-etching them until today.

Luna and TerraNova also like to be used together. Try pulling a twistie of them or just stringerwork of one on another. (Luna as a base gives the yukcy green colour so TerraNova is better as a base)

This is my first successful tack fuse followed by slump. I even adapted the tack fuse firing from a full fuse firing.

I know it looks a bit boring but it was an experiment! The photo isn't that great as i used my phone.
Okay after swooning over 6 pages of gorgeous glass goodies I feel better!!!!! I needed some much needed Bead and Glass Porn!!! ;D ;D
Here are some of my Renaissance Garden Beads done up into pendants using natural brass wire (no nickle or lead and not plated) I am loving a cheaper alternative to silver at the mo!!!

Here's a few from me,(http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1426/5604171/12685369/396960423.jpg) (http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1426/5604171/12685369/396960421.jpg) (http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1426/5604171/12685369/396960420.jpg) A BHB with 6 holes, that's my story anyway(http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1426/5604171/12685369/396960422.jpg) and a birdie (http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1426/5604171/12685369/396960477.jpg)
My goodness this is a busy week in the gallery. So much here that i can't possibly mention it all.
I went to Manda's open day and saw her stripy discs and Helen's beautiful buttons, which are even better close up!
I haven't had much torch time but I did make a little set of beads that I used in this bracelet. I bought some of the Tierra cast findings....trying to find something to do a slightly cheaper range of jewellery. I was pleased with how it came out.

Shall I begin then.....
I made these roughly following Lorna's tutorial in MJ
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3419/5780923488_06a0de84be.jpg) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/cheekycherubdesigns/5780923488/)

The smaller lentil I changed a bit so the flower had frilly edges.
Then I made these in similar colours and etched them

I am wanting to use bright colours at the moment!
Kazx
:) :) Fabulous beads Kaz!
I had a go at a focal based on Lorna's tutorial too, well, very, very vaguely based on it as I didn't want to stop what I was doing to go and find the magazine, so maybe 'inspired by' would be more correct! It's a bit splodgy but I was quite pleased with yesterday's first attempt!
Next time will try and follow the tutorial more closely. Thanks Lorna!

Beautiful gallery again this week - my favourite so far is the ginger rounds, they are very unusual and delicate looking.

Really like the effect of wigwags, never done one, it'll have to go on my to do list ;D
Thank you for the lovely comments, I did the 2 blonde bridesmaids last night but not as happy with them as with the brunettes.

I haven't posted beads in a while (mainly because I took about 8 months off from lampworking and started again two weeks ago, so technically, I'm still a newbie!) but here's my latest efforts; I know every one of their faults, but I still adore them :D ;D

Thanks everyone for your lovely comments!
More lushousness since I last popped in....
Ciel - Your dahlias are fab - still trying to master that technique myself!
Marg - great ocean beads, with so much going on in them - you could look at them for ages, and still notice something new!
Sara - lovely combinations, I particularly love the orange and teal ones.
Heather - love the twistie rounds, specially the greeny turquoise one.
Lotti - how cool is that reaction!
Vicki - wow great colours in the Elektra Bead !
A bit of a revisit with more fab murrini from Kaz....

Everyone's done fab work this week, my faves are the dahlias, and the buttons so far. I managed to get a little play at the torch today, but can't photograph for toffee!! I think that's the best shape bhb I've done so far, and although you can't see it, I did manage to get a bit of reaction from kalypso, so woop for that!

I bought myself some ring mandrels to try. I have had sooo much fun with them once I could actually get enough of a gather to go round the mandrels.
So hopefully if this has worked, first one is on the left on top row and then I got a bit better so you can see how I progressed. Start from left to right
on top row and left to right on bottom row. Great fun.

Yum yum yum yum Manda they are Fab! I am just running and posting as I am open for Art Trek as well this weekend and coincidentaly I found Manda's tutorial for her Harelequin Beads a couple of days ago whilst having a tidy up! It was in a Mag I bought last year when I was off the torch and I had forgotten I had it so decided to have a play with the technique and ended up making a mini paperweight which I am really pleased with! Thank you Manda for sharing x

This is an excellent week ladies - way too many to mention but Lotti I love your stone beads and Manda your Mangolos are as lovely as ever. Christina, your frits and cartoons are fantastic!
Now I'm not normally a frit girl but I have been hoarding some and there has been lots of fritty talk on the forum so I got mine out to play and have got a little ...umm.. obssessed ::)
this is most of them

This is mine for this week done on one oxycon so lots of problems. There is a crack across the back of the mandrel so no doubt it will fall apart when cleaned, (http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1426/5604171/20864307/397187657.jpg) The release also broke at the last minute too.
Breathtaking work on here as usual guys.....
Here's a few from me...
Been playing with Murrini.....

And also been making twisties out of Sasha's silver, Kalypso and Clio..... This is over plain ivory...

I LOVE Rachel's BHB and obviously Christina's really funky beads ;D
And Justmade (sorry I don't know your name) WOW. Ridiculous talent there- beautiful, I hope you charge a fortune for them!! ;) :P ;D
Thought I'd stick in a heart necklace I made before the week's up- it's actually a necklace, NOT just a pendant! And I'm starting to source leather necklaces too ;) :P ;D

Sorry about the pics, my camera's white balance has gone a bit funky :-\

Had a lovely weekend on and off making beads. More on than off ;D
Here is my collection for this past two days.
I will make them up sometime this week but was quite pleased with my bumpies (Dots) as the lovely Helen showed me where I was going wrong. I made a botch of the Lentil bead I feel but like the hearts.
I am dotty about hearts. Cleaned them this morning and just thought you would like to see what I have been up to. ;D :D 8) :-*

I have some more stones in a new shape,

Fairy Stones and Standing Stones, even though one isn't standing. Quite often when you visit standing stones they aren't ;D

Luffly start to the week chaps!
Here's a few from me.
I'm still enjoying making and playing with twisties made of Clio, Kalypso and Sasha's Silver - some of the pinks and purples can be amazing.....

Lovely beadies so far. Just to show that I sometimes make beads other than sculptural
(http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1426/5604171/12685369/397261609.jpg) (http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1426/5604171/12685369/397261607.jpg)

The last one is cracked. I forgot to turn the kiln on and it hadn't heated up to full when I'd finished the bead so took a chance. Teach me not to do that again. My excuse was that I'd just got my second oxy back from a service with Martin and I was in a hurry to try it out. It's firing on all cylinders now but what to do with all the bubble wrap. They appear to have christened it as Midge for some reason. I might change it to Madge. I'm sure there was a character on TV of that name in a Barry Humphries show, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madge_Allsop
P.S. The lentil is 36mm.
I had a play with enamels yesterday ... and a beautiful spiral press on loan from Claire ..

Great photos and beads this week....
Helen, the Zen set is LOVELY!!!
Sue, Ditto to what Becky said ;)
Julie, everytime I see that bicone I'm speechless!
Becky, tic tac toe...love it!
Kaz, your beads make me homesick for Florida....
Oh I hate to leave anyone out! They are all so nice!!!!
I'm going to stop here and post one that will stay with me. It cracked while I was making it and as a result there are two very small air bubbles in it. Sigh.....still I can keep it and enjoy it and you folks are the only ones see it so far.

Okay not fair everything here needs a "like" button or more to the point a "love" button!
Dean- Hugs and lots of luck with the sales I love them and your sign is killer!!!!
Sarah- I just almost licked the screen! I definitely love those beads they remind me of blueberries!!
Ciel- HOLY COW I think I just :o dropped my jaw!!!! I love that first set!

lots of lovely things this week, again!
I have been a bit quiet, been playing with my new lentil press and beadroller
these were sort of loosely inspired by Kaz's version of Lorna's MJ tut (which I finally got my hands on yesterday)
(http://madelinebunyan.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/dscf6150sqishsmlogo.jpg?w=490&h=442)
my camera really didn't like the etched beads!
This was an experiment

These came out of my kiln today
(http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/zz103/edith_stokes/ediths009.jpg)
This one went wrong from the beginning I tried to remove a large gather on one area but didn't have it hot enough and it went into this shape and I love it I am calling it my organic organic it will look good on one of Diane's black ribbons when she has some more made. Just for me
(http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/zz103/edith_stokes/ediths008.jpg)
These came out as well. I have had a very good day.
Edi
PS sorry if the photos are two big I am still learning about photobucket
It is stunning Veebee, I san see why you are pleased. :)
My DH has taken some photos for me yesterday as I am so rubbish at taking them. Here is one that he took of one of my BHB with my sons camera. :)

A couple of my 'efforts' - I'm relatively new at this lark but quite proud of them nonetheless :) Photos are courtesy of my very talented friend known to most as The Tartan Trout. Thanks Trouty xx

Hope it works!
This is my work from this week, the beads in #35 and #38 are inspired by Anouk's Armadillo Tut and were my first attempt any anything quite that complex so I was quite pleased.

I've come in ever so late on this thread! So many lovely things...
Shirl - that BHB is stunning!

GaysieMay - those Blue Pods are wonderful!
Helen - fab eggs!
Rachel - great BHBs as always :)
Vicki - that purple set... drooooool!
Becky - that flower is so pretty :)
Helen G - the stripy beads are amazing! And stop making such lovely buttons... I'm so jealous! ;D
Kaz - love those black hearts - very nice :)
And Kay - I really like what you've done with my tie-dye beads :) It's the first time I've seen what someone else has made with them - thanks for sharing :-*
Don't feel left out if I haven't mentioned you but if I wrote about every "oooh!" moment I've had going through this thread, I'd be here until this time next week!
Here's a few of mine... apologies if you've seen them elsewhere already!

Wonderful work, as always - I'm always so impressed with the diversity!!
I had a bit of a light-bulb moment one night a couple of weeks ago when sleep evaded me, and have been trying to achieve what I "saw" in my head. A lot of testing (and failing), but I have managed to make some murrini I'm pleased with:

One of Lush Julie's hearts that I found lurking on my desk :)
I made this for my friends hen do tomorrow, shes having an Alice in Wonderland tea party so I (loosely) based the beads on the theme

I have been singeing my rug and chasing marbles round my studio inspired by my copy of The Flow and the Drew Fritts Marble book I ordered and something has clicked....

Beautiful beads everyone!
I've been playing with the candy beads tutorial from JustMade on Etsy and these are my first set using this formula. However, I added the colour opal raspberry (my favourite pink at the moment).

Loving that pendant Rita, and Becky - wow!! Talk about stringer control!! Excellent start to the week.
I've been working more with transparents this week - trying NOT to just reach for the silver glass all the time!!!

(http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii90/Fruddster/IMGP1189.jpg)
And I've also been playing with silver leaf - not done this for a while, so thought I would revisit it! the silver glass did sneak into these though, I have to admit! :-[

I eventually managed to get to the torch this week , and tried some of Martins free .... yes FREE Martin.. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Tongue pink, but ended up with a lentil that looked like a bit of burnt toast, so went for some amber/goldstone pebbles instead, and a lop sided lentil, (PPP PPP) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)

I've not been around too much as of late, so I just thought I'd post a few new beads and then take some time to catch up a bit with forum life ... so I'm sorry this post is short but sweet :)

I have made some seriously big discs for a new line that I am working on. Although I like nice uniform discs, I discovered that it actually looks better if I make them a bit wonky ;)
This black and white one is pinned on my coat, and I never noticed the grey hair when I took the pics, lol.

Still got camera issues so I'm reduced to trying to take quick snaps before the error message appears and the whole thing shuts down!

I just couldn't live without the Gallery.......what a pleasure it is to see everyones work, there's just too much to comment on, I love them all!
Thought I'd add a few pics having stolen some time to photograph them.
I made myself a bead shaper to make chunky focal beads in the ornate style and I'm loving it!! Must get it into production me thinks!!

I made these discs yesterday. This time I remembered to use the correct size mandrel, so there were just cleaning, and no grinding of the bead hole!

So many great beads, I love the little tree 'paintings'.
I decided to use different types of silver glass in one bead rather than just one. Unfortunately I haven't a clue which glasses are in these....

Please forgive all the bubbles.
I've been ridiculously busy and disorganised this week so have only just managed to pop back and have a drool at this increasingly fabulous thread. Far too many to mention but.... wow... there's some *wonderful* work here!
My last few...

This is the result of a day working on the torch yesterday with breaks of course ;) I love anything animal design and tigers especially so from this batch I will make a bracelet pendant and ear rings. So pleased with my results this morning after the dash to the kiln ;D Now I had better do some housework it's so hard to tear yourself away from the torch when there are other things to do. Teaching tonight so 8 kits to make up for the class to design their own card. I better get cracking have a great day all ;D :D ;)

Lyn ;D
Great start Dean - well done on achieving that large lentil on a HH - hope it survived. Lyn - those ribbon bead sets are lovely.
A few focals from me this week - first two are 32mm diameter and the last 38mm.

Dean! What a *fabulous* bead! :D
Lyn - love the red set and the heart and the orange and purple ones - lovely colour combos!
Diane - love them all but especially the Final Frontier :)
I'm starting a bit earlier this week so that come SUnday, I don't end up with a load of pics at once!

Lovely start to the week. Dean, that is such a shame, but I think a bead that large was doomed when it hit the bubbles! Would you like to borrow something smaller?
I had a kiln full this morning, but this was the brightest, happiest of them all!

I was really pleased when I got these out of the kiln yesterday. I have "discovered" great bluedini - it is like the green/blue version of rubino!

and my first attempt at a horse (http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1426/5604171/20864307/397756260.jpg) Of course it had to be a green horse and it's eyes are a bit bulgy but it can only improve.

Not looked through the whole thread yet (I haven't looked at the gallery for weeks!!) but I do love Blackwaterfoot Helen.
No beads from me, but I have just delivered these two pieces to Sculpture in the Sanctuary:
A freestanding bespoke metal structure with five glass panels staged in a spiral

Gah! I typed a load of praise for all these yummy beads... then my browser crashed :( Haven't the brainpower left to start again, sorry! I do have to say, though... Dawn, I love the sculpture... and Rachel, those BHBs of yours... WOW! :o
I have this to offer tonight... :)

All that I have got to say is there is so much talent out there it's awesome. 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)
But I must say I do especially like Helen's, Kaz's, Lorna's and Rachels BHB.

Mucho gorgeousness, fab toppers Lorna!
I made some more too, spurred on by George's new adjustable ring. The five along the bottom are toppers, the rest are lentils and buttons!

The pictures dont do her justice, Im no photographer
Wow, I am totally bowled over by everything so far!!! Couldn't pick a favourite if you paid me, they're all awesome.
Not one for posting mine up, but am going to make an exception; purely because, and with the encouragement of Ms Lush, Manda and Julie HB in particular, I have managed to silver core a bead using my new dapping punches ;D Please excuse the slightly fuzzy pic ::) was too excited to concentrate on the camera ;D

Mmm loving Sunny side up and that copper bracelet Kay, Manda, they are GORGEOUS!! :o
Having overcome my purple fear (almost), I decided to tackle pink yesterday, with the help of Sarah Hornik's 'Think Pink', and Suzanne's Candy Beads tut, I'm really pleased with these, and there are more with a little twist in the kiln ;D

Thanks for looking. :) :)
juicy ringtops Maddy and Manda!! Beautiful beads already from everyone and Lynne those boro ones are lush!
I've been trying on and off to make heart shaped 2 holed buttons that are consistent in shape and thickness. Several broken ones (sticking to mandrels) later I think I am there now.

I'm a bit late to the bat this week, mainly as I am so pants at getting photos done, but a really gorgeous gallery so far. My particular faves are Jennie's swirly beads and Madeline's really gorgeous pin frogged ring topper. That inspired me to get out my pin frog and try for a similar off mandrel pendant, and let's just say I won't be posting up the result! It has gone to the 'oh dear' bag :)
My beads for this week are

Caribbean Sea with silvered ivory & fine wire, Amber and Clio, Clio Silvered Flower beads

(http://www.cielcreations.co.uk/images/large/l3163-encased-floral-beads.JPG)
I made this last Saturday. Please excuse the small bump at the bottom. I put it into the kiln with a small section still too hot so got a small spike that needed to be reheated and smoothed.
(http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1426/5604171/20864307/397922449.jpg)
It was made on a 56 mm length of tube, diameter 19mm and about 20mm with the bead release. The tube was held in hot fingers to make the ring.
Ciel- love the first set, very tropical waters,
Saga Suus love the window beads with the twists (gorgeous ladybird)
Great ring Pat, that must have taken some time to make.
Here are a couple more florals from me

There are some lovely beads on this thread this week.
I have been playing with intense black and have enjoyed making nugget beads
(http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x233/lopo_09/DSCF5023.jpg)
Sooo inspiring this gallery.
Heres a few from me xx
(http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb438/stowler1/Misc/August2011006.jpg)(http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb438/stowler1/Misc/August2011019.jpg)(http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb438/stowler1/Misc/August2011017.jpg)
I agree with Alison, they are fantastic!
I was very lucky to have a class with Kate Sullivan and Diana East within a few days of each other and have been inspired all week to make underwater beads - they're the devil to photograph though!
Here's a focal with encased (Kaz) murrini
(http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6027/6012251952_f852abac71.jpg) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/lushlampwork/6012251952/)

I tried putting murrini inside the shoulder of this heart but they went bad so I pulled them out and the bits I'd put underneath ended up getting swirled and looking amazing!

I know that's a really weird pic, there is a pic of the front of the heart on Flickr but I actually prefer the plainer back anyway!
Great entries everyone, I love looking through the galleries.
I bought a tutorial for a seascape from Mary Lockwood a couple of months ago, so strictly speaking it's not my creation but it was great fun to do, mine is not a patch on hers though!
(http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk308/JoyPorteous/Jan%202011/jellyfish2.jpg)
HUGE amounts of gorgeousness as always in here!!
Not gotting much torch time at the moment with the kids being off >:( >:( blasted school holidays!

Vicki
Had a play and created a 'set', shapes are a bit wonky so more practice needed :P. very basic, iris frit over lilac transparent.
My lady made them up into a necklace for herself with amethyst and silver spacers on a ribbon - we cant anneal them at the moment so its just practice until we get a kiln but she likes them :)
(http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/n514/tomcat_beader/irisset.jpg)
Beth - those Frosted Citrus beads are great!
Ilona - I love the colour of those ribbed beads... yum!
Sandy - beautiful zebras :)
Fee - Welcome to the Gallery :) I love the colour of those beads and the ribbon sets them off perfectly!
Vicki - the skills are fab :D
Kaz - wow, all those lovely sets! :o
My last few for this week...

Hi, I have never been brave enough to show any of my beads so far, but I was quite pleased with how these turned out so I have taken the plunge.
Firstly my neice asked me to make some keyrings as gifts for her little boys pre-school teachers:
(http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6064/6022475589_bbdc8fd307_m.jpg) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/57815855@N03/6022475589/)

Then a colleague at work wanted some bottle stoppers and pens

And Rubino oro!!!!
I've been teaching myself coring, practiced on some ancient dodgy beads, then broke 3 decent beads and then got some caps as well, played with 3 good beads and got these....

I've learnt that brass is an absolute pig to core with it's so hard, do I have to anneal it differently, I've been heating until glowing then quenching?
OMG, it's only Tuesday lunchtime. I had intentions of looking and commenting more on this thread this week!!! So delicious every single one!!
I have a relatively simple beads, and I know lots have been trying out the tutorial, but I'm really pleased with how these turned out – the pictures don't really show off the blue haze effect as much as they do in real life!

This is my small fare from over the weekend.

Thanks for looking :)
My god, the standard of the Gallery is just getting better and better. I can't possibly comment on everyone (though trust me all your work is lovely), so I have just picked a few that I particularly like:
Stephanie - just adore those rainbow beads
Susan - love the Infinity bead in particular
Sarah - that underwater bead is just jaw droppingly good
Lyn G - I could eat every single one of your boro beads
Here is this week's motley selection from me:

Anna, you'll take back to it like a duck to water.
Some utterly fabulous beads this week. Les, I love the grumpy monsters. And I love the fossil buttons.
Last weekend I made these

And this week I have turned them into these

And yes, I made the bags too ::)

This week has been a truly inspiring gallery.
I couldn't agree more! There is so much wonderful work to drool over.
I have been trying to discipline myself into making sets. Thought if I kept it simple I might manage to focus long enough to make more than one of a kind ;D
I'm particularly pleased with these made with Kaz's beautiful Ferry Cross the Mersey frit.

Fab work so far, it's a delight to come in and look! My particular favs are Collette's (WOW), Trudi's Tigers and Gaysiemay's Clio set - lusssshhhh!
One simple set and one that I have been working on for a while!

Just ordered mine, can't wait to try it out :-)
If mine turn out half as good as yours I will be a happy bunny indeed xx
Great stuff as usual. :D :D Too many to mention individually, but I particularly like Steph's swirly top set, Les's dotty chooks, Kate's rainbow psyche set and Chrystal's cute ladybird. :D :D
A few from me.....

Unintentionally I seem to have chosen similar colours for my last three sets. ::) I really must change my colour scheme! :D :D
Wow, what a brilliant start to the week! I just love looking through this thread. Such beautiful work from everyone.
Here's what I have been up to this week

There is some amazing work in here. I look everyday and everyday there is a wow.
Just a couple from me.
Getting excited about the sculpture class so tried another godess. I was trying to get her fat, why is it I have to try hard to get my godesses round, I don't have that trouble myself!

Then a couple of triton and psyche beads.
This one had a little Kalypso in it which doesn't show in the bead, only in the reflected light.

I was very pleased last night when somebody said that it must have taken me years to produce such lovely beads.......9 months and counting..... ;D I'm a long way off you guys I know and a very long way off the experts but it is so exciting to have that challenge and inspiration, thank you!

Well, it's been a while since I showed anything in the Gallery, and even longer since I started one :o
I made these for the theme of the month challenge, apologies if you have seen them there:

Blends from Christina (Feng Frit) over clear.
Those fritty beads are lovely, and Helen, your work is impeccable as always.
I had a mixed day on the torch yesterday - but I have these to show. Base of Canyon de Chelly with Aurae dots:

Lyn I love those beads. Love the colour way in that focal Helen, and Ciel your silver glass just sings beautifully.
Here is another bhb from me, lined and with my own bead caps. It is very iridescent in the flesh, but I'm struggling to capture it on camera!:

Elaine xx
Love the shape of those beads Sue, and lovely colours Elaine.
Apologies in advance for the hog, but due to the bank holiday and then a day off work I've managed to squeeze in 4 torch sessions each of 4+ hours in the last 7 days, and I feel like I might just be making some progress!!!!!
First set was to practice stringer control. Still struggling, so can't wait to watch the DVD that will be on it's way to me soon!
(http://i1088.photobucket.com/albums/i325/purple_cobwebs/Undiscoveredterritory.jpg)
Second set is my first real set of BHBs. Up until now I've only ever done one at a time!!!
(http://i1088.photobucket.com/albums/i325/purple_cobwebs/Fieldsoflavendar.jpg)
Third set was my attempt at tiger beads. Lets just say that maybe it was a snow tiger LOL!!!!
(http://i1088.photobucket.com/albums/i325/purple_cobwebs/Snowtiger.jpg)
Then, yet another go at a beach bead!!!!
(http://i1088.photobucket.com/albums/i325/purple_cobwebs/Bubblesandwaves.jpg)
And finally, a beach ring!!!!
(http://i1088.photobucket.com/albums/i325/purple_cobwebs/Seashorering.jpg)
Well, I don't post often, but when I do....
I love those beads Elaine, gorgeous colours. Gaynor, I love the colour way of the top set and that rockpool is lovely.

PS thanks Vicki!
Sue: to post next to each other just paste the code for each image without returns inbetween. They don't need to each be on their own line.
Beadies from me! I am making up a pile of stock for the GBUK AGM, then I need to make sure of which are included and what to price them...
The ring topper here is one I'm iffy about. It's a wigwag that was made from the end of a murrini pull, so it changed colour as it went along and I wouldn't have chosen the colour distribution I got here. On the other hand, it goes well with a dress of mine and I'd happily wear it myself. So does that mean I should put it in the To Sell pile? ???

Lil shank buttons. I'll be making a couple more to replace the smaller one. There are various bits and bobs from Mini Mo club sets in here, mostly Sedona Park, and there are Tealy Dan murrini and shards on the second focal. I've had the ambers out in force! The orangey murrini are mine and I am liking them a lot.

I had a go at Julie Lush's tips on tongue pink, and was thrilled to pull these out of the kiln this morning (thanks Julie!) So excited in fact, photos without cleaning lol!

Rachel: I love the petal colours.
Kat: lovely bracelet!
Suzie: ooh, I really like the Winter Shores set!
Jo: Yay! I should get round to practising stringer that isn't in spirals one of these days...
Binty: yup, it's a rather nice glass once you know how to treat it ;D
Saga Suus: I like the golden shine in the bottom one.
I made some more things - wigwag ring toppers, a couple of BHBs and an implosion pendant:

The blue and goldstone twistie topper is cracked because I went and put a CIM opal purple (plum this time) as the base again. I think it might be a combination of more heat loss through the nut and having that much other glass on top, even though it isn't fully encased. It really didn't like being next to the 006 in the twistie - the plum has cracks horizontally along the interface and then vertically down to the nut. I have to stop doing that! I'll make one on a nice safe base like white, I think.
Gorgeous beads as always everyone :)
These are my first beads with my new dual fuel set up, click for a bigger view

It's been a few weeks since I have posted in the gallery - partially due to a lack of photo taking ability and partially that the subjects of the photo's were not good enough, so I have saved up the passable bits to post today. Excitingly, my kiln was delivered yesterday so this will be my last post of non-kilns beads ;D
Great gallery this week, with a special mention to Peggy's amazing Bollywood Pink lentils and Chris' awesome foil beads - really really great.
These are my non-reject pile - the eagle eyed among you will notice that I have invested in a biscuit tin lid *burp*

Tina, all very pretty beads; I particularly like the last BHB...
Trudi, more gorgeouse beadies :)
Lotti, all those mega-BHBs are fab! Must get my larger mandrels out again...
Sandy, the Fair Isle beads are very nice indeed - love that effect!
Bob, great ring toppers! And I'm very impressed with the paperweights :)
Mark, I love the colours that have come out in that bead... it looks very moody...
Jammie, those beads were exactly what was needed to brighten up an otherwise dull day here - lovely! :)

Here's my BHB for this week :)
(http://i1129.photobucket.com/albums/m517/scottam/Gorgeoussmall054.jpg)
Finally managed to get a kiln so decided as I could now anneal beads it was time to move on from playing with beads and have a go at a project. Far from perfect but I am pleased love the fact that apart from the small silver coloured spacers it is all my own work.
Must work on the photography as well.

It feels so good to be melting glass again!
Beautiful beads. I especially like the pebbles and the owls are gorgeous.
I don't have much time at the moment as Art Week has started. But had yesterday and today away from the venue so I have managed this set.

Hi - What a brilliant collection of beads, where to start?
Love the hens,love the fritty beads, the thimble, the implosions, bhbs, pebbles and buttons, they are all great. Hope I haven't missed anyone.
I haven't posted on here in ages - I never think my beads are up to much. Anyway I have finally dug out the big box of old keys I bought off ebay...

Regis, you beads are amazing, so precise and gorgeous colour combos.
Shirl, loving your colours :D
Saga Suus - too cute :D
Sorry about that previous post- I pressed the wrong button - I haven't posted on here for ages and thought I'd add my three ha'pence
(http://i989.photobucket.com/albums/af14/crocosmia60/220911019.jpg)

(http://i989.photobucket.com/albums/af14/crocosmia60/220911020.jpg)
What I was going to add also was how different the colours are in the previous post and the middle one of this post & they're both done with dark silver brown - one I'd rather overlooked - up to now :) Thought I'd just slip in a piccy of a semi feral kitten that lives in my garden - I call her 'Cabbage'. Not sure why :)
what a week of beads !!!!!
Not had much to post recently but here is a bead that has just sold today ;D ;D

Thanks for the seal compliments (you might call it the seal of approval ;D.... terrible I know but who could resist! ::))
Love that witch Les :)
and that kitten just has the most perfect face, adorable :D
While I was on my sea theme I thought I would have a bash at a jellyfish, I am pleased with the results, it needs work but the bones are there, it kind of reminds me of Avatar....

The brooches are stunning!! Really beautiful, I absolutely love them.
I can't stop blowing! I do wonder if the flowers are a bit chintzy, (but I like making them) and they'd be a nightmare to post :o :o but they're fun to make :)

I just got these from the kiln this morning.
I used a tutorial by Manda for her "Victoriana" beads, in the book Creative lampwork. (Thanks Manda)

well i did a bit with colour as well - some nuggets - hand shaped every one different size and shape - on purpose - honest !
(http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/n514/tomcat_beader/nuggets.jpg)
then played with some kalypso over black and white - wanted a moorcroft look to a bead - think it works, a devil to photo, in real life its very much more lichen green with hints of purple and gold to it
(http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/n514/tomcat_beader/moorcroft.jpg)
need lots more work on the photo side of this - time to go to night school I think
Fabulous beads on here as always!
This is a bracelet that I made for a commission to go with a pendant that I made a month or so ago. Aurae - my favourite glass!

Flipping heck! You lot are too good! :o :o :o :o I hardly dare post my efforts here. Beautiful stunning work everyone - especially that stunnah from Pris! Kaz - loving the new dotties too. Well, everyone - great work.
Here are my recent efforts after the Lucio Bubacco workshops. They're a long way off from acceptable but they're possibly better than my figures were before the workshop. (Don't look too closely at the stands, either!):

My simple contribution:
I got hooked on coloured cores this week, mainly because I've only just managed to make them work.

Lovely offerings again so far this week guys.... Ciel those greens are absolutely gorgeous and Red Dragon - got some spanking pinks out of that silver glass!
A few from me... I've been playing around with character murrini from Tuffnells - getting addicted to it now! its such a buzz when you manage to encase without smearing the stuff all over the place!!!

Sorry for the hog.... :-[
Wow, all smashing so far, but particularly like the green set from Ciel and the Toucan from Rachel.
I decided to do something different this week, so I made some focals (not often I do focals). But it did me good and I was pleased with the results:

Everyone always produces such lovely beads, I'm normally too embarrassed to put anything up here, I look and walk way telling myself I must try harder, or at least spend some time in the studio, that might help!
So, I've stuck to what I know best and made a few Goddess Beads to get back into things... Hope you like them.

The Peach Goddess made me smile, it looks like she has sat too close to the torch and burnt her chest... it's just the way fate played a hand with the Frit! (he he he... Frit happens!!)

I very rarely post in the gallery, but enjoy looking every week at all the beautiful beads and see that this week is no exception!
I've been making some equine (!) beads, for Mountains Animal Sanctuary near Forfar, to help them raise funds to look after all their horses and ponies. Excuse my usual poor photography! Here's a few dodgy donkeys.....

Carol - great donkeys - not dodgy at all! :D

Heather - Very nice lentils.. I wish my buttons would turn out half as well as yours :)
Jannie - that's a really beautiful focal... should raise lots of money for Leo!
Manda - fab pendants again :)
Pris - stunning focal! Very lovely indeed :)
Three more focals...

I love the lilac set Lampylou, and those bright colourful beads are fabulous Jolene, just right for BoC.
Beautiful bracelet Les, lovely colours and clasp too, very autumnal.
Stunning shimmering blues Scarlet! And Shalaa I love that dichro focal, very unusual.
A mixed autumn set from me. :)

I've just about surfaced after Art Week. Lots of stunning work been going on. Forgive me for just mentioning a few! Kaz I love that top set and Rita that is a beautiful ring. The very first set by Ciel is lovely and I really like the pink and turquoise set Sally.
One new set from me.

Wow, the beads on here are amazing. My favourite is the butterfly big hole bead. I've not looked on the show and tell for ages and had forgotten how talented everyone is. I've been busy making beads for my first bead fair tomorrow and these are a few of my favourites:

Thanks for the lovely eye candy on this thread.

These are my first buttons (I made 4 but the other two didn't survive) with a couple of sets of dahlia beads with double helix spacers.

just had a 1st play with a silver glass tut - not what i expected to get but interesting in itself, the white bits are the flash not the bead :)
(http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/n514/tomcat_beader/psyche-1.jpg)
its psyche over bright acid yellow
not sufficient reducing and then not sufficient encasing when smoothing i think but interesting
Thanks for the nice comments everyone.
I love those flower beads Ciel, especially the red/orange set.
A bit more autumn from me. (http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6049/6222872406_c62d621cc9_z.jpg) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/29161864@N08/6222872406/)

Lovely work everyone!
I only have one bead to show this week, as I haven't made much at all at the weekend with Gemma being so poorly..... but I have to say that I am very very pleased with the way it's turned out!!

I had another go at a figure at the weekend.
(http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6234/6238296321_fa478d1103.jpg) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/kalorlo/6238296321/)
I really can't do legs the way Lucio does! Also, I'm making them too small for the rest of it if I begin with them - I need to be organised enough to plan what I want to do and get reference ready before I start... For the arms too - I get to the shoulders and then get lost. This figure's got cracks all over it - at some point when I was doing the arms, the lower torso got too near the flame and they've spread throughout. It is definitely better than the ones I've made before, though.
Other things: I made a hand-shaped heart (wasn't going to be, but then I started it too far down on the mandrel to use my tong press). It's kalypso.

I got something out of dark silver brown! First time I didn't overheat it. Now, if I could manage a whole set...

I also posted these on the Monthly Colour Challenge:

It's my first go at sugared beads. I made them with Vicki Veebees frit. For those who make them, should I have flashed them through the flame a tad less and left them more 'sugary'?

Thanks Everyone for the comments on my ring toppers ;D
Lakelady, looks like you are enjoying trying sculptural beads
Lovely Autumnal lentils Rase
Linda, I love those sugared beads, they look so frosty and gorgeous
Beautiful flowers Sara, and love the colour combo
nice colours in that plum set Elaine.
Made myself a pendant. Technically its a prototype as I have been asked to make some of these but this one is definitely a keeper ;D with pmc, fine silver and sterling.

made these this morning, for those that know Cornwall, the Lizard, my inspiration was a fabulous mineral found there called Serpentine, its very variable - greens reds into blues with a grey, green brown base. I have bits of it in all shades at home and love it

My Trouty friend has now shown me how to upload photos (thank you Trout :-*) So, here is a photo of a bead I made yesterday. I spent a fab day with the very lovely Helen G a couple of weeks ago and have been practising floral beads in a hope to one day be as good as Helen is! I wasn't sure if it would work in these colours but wanted it to go with an outfit so went for it, and was rather pleased with the outcome :D More practice is def. required as there are a couple of bubbles in my encasing and the flowers are FAR from perfect so..........P P P!

I don't get to post here as often as I'd like, but each and every week your beads really blow me away.
And I'm sorry, it's all or nothing for me at the moment, no torching for about 3 weeks and suddenly I get 3 goes on the torch in one week. So please excuse the hog.

It's just as well the boys are at school/nursery, every time I look in here I think, "Oooh, I wonder if I could..?" and I rush back out to my torch and try again.
A couple of pictures of yesterday's work. Aren't we lucky to have a sunny day today!

I adore Kaz's lentils, they are fantastic and the BHB have been stunning too. Thank you for sharing everybody.

Lovely work everyone, can't wait for the week to unfold if this is anything to go by!
I feel I am finally getting somewhere with "organic" beads.

I haven't had chance to look at this thread yet, but will do tomorrow.
Here is a set I made before I went on holiday.
(http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x233/lopo_09/DSCF5515.jpg)
hesitate to put these up given the loads of lovelies here, but hey, all mine are experiments to see how things work together and react to each other - or not ! so not pretty, but i think interesting
(http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/n514/tomcat_beader/tallfocal.jpg) (http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/n514/tomcat_beader/strawyellow.jpg)
then this and thought it looked a bit 'eye' like so turned the bead over and did this for a laugh
(http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/n514/tomcat_beader/peacockeye.jpg) (http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/n514/tomcat_beader/owl.jpg)
sorry for the hog but I quite like them and the effects
Mark, I really like the reactions you've got there!
Dawn, I love the Winter Wonderland ones ;D
These are all Kaz's Bonfire Night frit and murrini (November's limited ed) - more details of what's what in the S&T thread. The murrini are wonderfully bright and the frit is gorgeous over silver.

Beautiful work, all!
This is a bit of a cheat, since I didn't make any of it, but I am so proud of it that I had to show you all...
The scorpion was my swap/gift from Lucio Bubacco and the case was handmade by my dear Pa in Law. I think it's brilliant and he should be taking orders :)

I haven't been well, so haven't torched in a while, but the talented people on here keep me inspired, many thanks.
had a bit of a play throught the week after my lady commented on how she loves seaglass, we always pick bits up when we go to cornwall amongst the seaweed on the shore - so the large beads (not the triton) will get etched and she is going to make them up to a bracelet and ear rings, the big beads will then be the seaglass with the triton beads as the seaweed,apologies - they all need cleaning ;D once it is made up i will post the finished items on the jewellery page

Helen - very unusual colour combination, but it works really well :)
I've been making more spacer beads to keep in stock on my website: DH Gaia & Effetre Silver Black
(http://www.cielcreations.co.uk/images/large/l15069-gaia-spacer-beads.JPG) (http://www.cielcreations.co.uk/images/large/l15062-silver-black-spacers.JPG)
Far too many brilliant beads to comment on them all but they give me hope that I will be that good one day?
My offering late this week is a set of rainbow coloured lentils with intense black heated to death ........(might go on my etsy?)
(http://i983.photobucket.com/albums/ae311/bobthomas/Beads/DSCF3829a.jpg)
Close up of the webbing
(http://i983.photobucket.com/albums/ae311/bobthomas/Beads/DSCF3830a.jpg)
and a lentil of Iris Violet with Psyche and Triton bands. (better in real life)!
(http://i983.photobucket.com/albums/ae311/bobthomas/Beads/DSCF3838a.jpg)
I was contacted through Etsy by a lady from the States who had bought one of my beads and she commissioned me to make 6 more for her family for Christmas presents...
They haven't been easy to do, as she was very "colour specific", so it has taken me about a month to finally get them right....
I am quite pleased with them though!
(http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii90/Fruddster/IMGP4392.jpg)
Here's another type of spacer beads I'm now stocking - Double Helix Kalypso (my favourites)

I agree spacers are just lovely but Becky woweeeeee I love all of yours cannot choose my favourite they are all yum. Not much from me as my kiln has died boo hoo and waiting for Paragon to re open so I can try and get it fixed. A few beads that I had lying around I got around to finishing off :-

loads of fab beads already, the Kalypso spacers are super what a range of colour in them cant get red/pink out of it myself, the birds, butterflies and hearts are lovely but the faces are just so cute, really like the rainbow skies bead, gorgeous colours in there, like the moon, super effects and the murrini, yummy.
I had a play with some of my dichroic fusing glass sheets, made this barrel bead, quite pretty when the light hits it, may have to make a few more

I have some simple fusing - I'm finally getting some time with my hobbyfuser :)

so many absolutely gorgeous beads since I last looked on top of all the luscious ones i have already seen, so pretty and so colourful, so talented all of you :) :)
hmm, i bought a pres from Sabine, it arrived this morning. thank you Sabine, my first press :) had to have a play with it but was a bit of a rush as i had to get out this afternoon and we spent the morning in the loft clearing a small area of it out to the tip.
Its bigger than i am used to making and I pushed it into the beads way too early as i did not want it to crack ( well not before i could photograph it anyway ;D )
(http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/n514/tomcat_beader/1stlentil.jpg)
not too bad for a first try with a press :)

Wonderful work this week - far too many to mention but here's some comments on a few of my faves:
#Becky, your beads are just in a different class. Absolutely stunning.
Tomcat - that sparkly dichro bead is wonderful! Keep on making them.
Sal - gorgeous focal, wonderfully deep and layered.
Josephine - love those Woodland Autumn beads - gorgeous earthy colours.
Sam - I'm in awe of that purple fused bowl. Droolworthy.
Nothing super exciting from me, but I was pleased with the colours I got from this encased Raku:

There are some stunning beads on this thread this week.
I am busy making my order for the jewellers. They have chosen frit BHB's and I have just cored my first 15, I hope they like them.
(http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x233/lopo_09/DSCF5645.jpg)
Those cored beads look lovely!
I've been busy making wine glass charms - very simple and I've tried to use neutral colours so that it would suit gents and ladies equally (I was tempted to add pink, but I resisted!)
(http://www.cielcreations.co.uk/images/large/290939-wine-glass.JPG)
post and run from me, playing with keys and frit and getting tangled in yards of cord!

Loving your key bead necklace Madeline :) the cord just finishes it off beautifully
and your brass frit experiment lakelady :) my brass frit is still where I left it after the flame off... must get it out ;)
The kitty and spider bead has been on Etsy for a while,(apologies if you've already seen it) but is now on it's way to it's new owners,

Sorry about the hog, but this is my first time, so rather exited by the whole process.
Will have to work on lighting to get rid of reflections, and also on background to get rid of the muck ;D ;D ;D
Sarah
Love that last bead Sarah, gorgeous :D
A couple of wee birdies from me, there are more in my flickr album :)

Latest bird of paradise: I was worried this would come out as a mess, and it kind of has, but it's a mess that's developing towards something, so I'm fairly pleased. Front and back. This is a big bead and the bird's still taking up a lot of space and wrapping round the sides, so I need to fit it in better. The red in this and in the twistie red, green and white BHB above is the Lauscha SNT 230 again.

And this one I was expecting to turn into a huge fugly mess, but actually I like it!

Love the etched ones Sue, and Les, you know how I like your standing stones.
Here's a big big focal that I had a devil of of job getting the clear to melt in having got the clio to cool enough to reduce...it spat at me twice and left big lumps of hot gass embedded in my fleece....but I carried on melting it in at arm's length...ah, how we suffer for our art!

Thought I'd make something in red and green (that time of year ;) )

Now I did make another one similar but using CiM unique celedon and CiM Unique plum - it was very pretty, I annealed the beads etc as usual, made up the bracelet, but to my horror all the lentils have developed cracks - can anyone through any light on why that has happened? Irritating because I really liked it.
Not lampwork, but I thought you might like to see the baubles I made recently

Oh Helen those bricks are just great. I have recently got a lovely adjustable ring from George Harper and it has started my ring topper addiction, sorry for the hog :-

My whole family are now addicted to Georges rings so I have had to place a bulk order he he x
Wonderful beads already this week !! :)
Here's another Henge bead from me ..
(http://img0.etsystatic.com/il_fullxfull.284561284.jpg)
Sorry it's a bit big, I nicked it from my Etsy listing as I can't log in to flickr atm xx
I'm trying to increase the size and complexity of my focals now that I have a big girl torch.

This one makes me think of fungus for some reason but I can't call it that obviously ;)
Gorgeous offerings this week. I particularly like the ring toppers - I must have a crack at making some of them myself.
After a bit of a photographing hiatus, I have a couple of offerings this week, although there has been barely enough light to see with, never mind take photos!
My new torch and Oxycon arrived last week, so I have been playing with silver glass and trying to get more out of it than I could with my Hot Head. Results varied and I had to teach myself to reinvent the wheel again, hehe. These are what I have made.
(http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6112/6325773587_0b4358fd9d.jpg) (http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6048/6326530094_3f24418563.jpg) (http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6120/6326528150_f1f8718398.jpg)
I also had a go at one of Anouk's silver glass tutorials which I had some colour success with but it grew slightly larger than I expected, so I found a chunky chain and have named it 'The Beast'!
(http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6046/6326519618_ff2c176f60.jpg)
hi, well I managed to get some time in the 'studio' to make 1 bead for my birthday - not much time mind you but its my first bhb so not too unhappy with it
(http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/n514/tomcat_beader/firstbhb.jpg)
A quick couple from me.....I am calling them Black Jacks - they kind of remind me of the wrappers of Black Jack sweets! Yum. I am not entirely sure I like the focal though....
(http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6093/6326828215_94daed5085.jpg)
(http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6054/6326828721_863ac4af4a.jpg)
Trudi, nice set there, Lovely one there Jennie, Nice organics Donna, Love the bricks Helen, The snow flower is great Susan,
Great henge beads as always Les, Nice colours there Tina, Like the Black Jacks Stephanie, but makes my eyes to funny, if fact all are great.
Finally got to the torch yesterday, after the weekend at Di's Class and birthday on Monday, but I have been playing with silver glass again all on ivory and silvered ivory bases ...... most of them just got bigger as I went along............. ;D ;D

Sorry for the hog
Gorgeous beads everyone - I never cease to be amazed by all the fabulous things you all make!
I don't usually post on here, but just for a change I thought I might show you something I've made. I haven't made any beads for a while, but I've been fusing...

there you go, I will conform to the theme afterall..one teeny tiny bit of SIShard!
So many beads on here, my jaw just drops!! Too many to mention, but I do really love the black jacks, so mesmerising. and love the christmas BHB's
Inspired by Julie's revelation on Zephyr .... it inspired me to have a go at this. I don't have any Zephyr but CiM's Cirrus also resists etching!

A bit of a hog I've been having a bit of a play! A new style I have been playing with, trying to get more intricate detail on the bead. Some of the pictures look abit dodge, the light has been so grey these last few days I have dusted off my spots and given them a go but they take abit of adjusting.....

I managed to get my grubby mitts on some of Jolene's Secret Garden mini-mo set! The pictures aren't great, The bead with the raised dot doesn't look nearly so 'scummy' to the naked eye but the camera shows all flaws...

I have also started a necklace to wear with a new top but I'll post that in the finished jewellery section methinks.:D
Are the pictures too big? I selected medium....?
I hesitate to put anything up here as there are so many fantastic beads here, just seems to get better every week. But, here are a few small ones i made today, i also have a sizing issue, will have to try the doming block and see if that works for me
(http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/n514/tomcat_beader/sparkly.jpg)
not too bad but more work needed :) the middle one is meant to be bigger ;D
a little something festive from me:

Maybe it is the warm November weather....something in the air...we need a dragon and some toadstools next.
Sorry Pris, the only dragon you can get so far is me..... ;D ;D ;D ;D lol
I have been playing with my new Pegasus bead roller again. and have made up 2 elasticated bracelets:-

Fabulous beads already!!!
I was given two very gorgeous cabs which were made during the "From Cab to Fab" course at Mangobeads, and I have made them into rings - for myself!! ;D
The top cab was made by Maria Louisa, and the bottom cab was made by Jennie - ain't I a lucky girl!!

This is a pendant I have made this week and hopefully the jewellers will want it tomorrow.
(http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x233/lopo_09/DSCF5764.jpg)
I wanted to say that I love the Magical theme that seems to be around this week - mystical places and unicorns, ghostly figures and fairies, magic mushrooms, not to mention all the other stunning beads - wonderful eye-candy!
My turn now - I've been working on this project for a little while....here's some photographs taken by my lovely husband and daughter

Hasn't everyone been busy. My favourites this week are definitely Les's henge beads closely followed by Peggy's fairytales and the woodland fairy.
I'm mostly busy with jewellery for fairs at the moment but I have made this set.

Wow - really gorgeous pics this week. Jaw dropping BHB's from Rachel, Peggy's lentils are as stunning as always and I love Big Bertha! That's only to name a few of course :D
I have a couple of bits this week and a few first attempt ring toppers which are still in the kiln. Time will tell one those methinks!
Enacsed silver wire and encased Terranova2 beads

And finally an autumnal bracelet and pendant set I made. I have a matching ring topper in the kiln, but I'm not sure how it will turn out :-\

Lovely shaped beads for earrings Madelaine.
I'm just doing a quick post as my fudge is boiling...Had a go at Melanie Moertel's 'Satellite 'pattern to try and improve my stringer work, not that I would copy her beads to sell, and then did some of my own design:

Lovely beads this week! Here's some sea focals from me.

Great start to the week by every one again. Especially the Angry Birds!
I have been busy getting ready for some Christmas fayres in the next few weeks but had to share this one,
The new Sunset to go with the Caribbean sea....................
(http://i983.photobucket.com/albums/ae311/bobthomas/Beads/DSCF4002.jpg) (http://i983.photobucket.com/albums/ae311/bobthomas/Beads/DSCF4001.jpg)
Thank you Jo! Loads of loveliness on that string!
Super goddess, Pat, I like the use of the gold leaf on the wings!
The big wheels are fantastic Jennie, especially the pink ones!
Lovely earrings, Madeline!
Top marks Pris, the stringer work is excellent, especially the top one!
Great organic seaside beads, Jeanie! I love the depth of the one on the left - If you look carefully it is actually a coastal scene, with rolling seas, a cliff, mountains - maybe you could help Rita out with her current commission/dilemma ;D
Sunset, Sunset? - I haven't seen that glass (note to self!), goes great with the Caribbean Sea glass, Bob!
All beautiful, but the bottom bhb is a stunner, Jo!
Hope you don't mind me posting another....
Inner Depths - still working on this technique..... I am finding it really hard to capture the hollows and depths with my camera...

Great show so far. Love all the pieces.
I haven't make much necklaces lately, except for this one.
A Goldy oldie made of black glass, I even used frit on the leaves :o

Gorgeous work this week, the standard of lovliness is sky high! Hard pushed to pick a fave but I did check out your Etsy Pris for a bunch of flowers. Have they gone already?

I was really pleased with the compostition of this piece but one of the pieces cracked - I put some two part over it and strategically pulled one of the copper fronds over it - so I guess I'll have to wear this one - what a shame ;)
I haven't posted on here for a long time and I love everything that people put on here so hopefully if this works these are my lowly efforts. I have been playing with silver foil (cant remember what it is called) and DH glass
(http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/zz103/edith_stokes/21may025-1.jpg)
and if this works my try at making animal heads
(http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/zz103/edith_stokes/21may027.jpg)
So hopefully they are not to big, unless someone can downsize them.
Edi
Those are gorgeous, Sal! :D

I was going to use this in a lariat necklace but I'm not sure now I think I spoilt it by putting the dots on and prefer the back which I left plain

Sculpting animals etc is not my thing, but for a special person I tried to make some "Angry Birds". The first batch was practicing and I like the second set better.
I will give away the first set to a member on my Dutch forum.
First set
(http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7035/6416770319_c0f8ba3822.jpg)
think its some sort of extremely addictive timewasting game Sue...I'm staying away!
the angry bird beads, this week and last are great though!
beautiful rich red on your xmas set Sue!
I have a couple of bunnies

I love the angry birds, I only know about them because of my daughter, and her comment was ' oh wow I want one' - bet the beads are better than the game ;D, I really love the bunnys, the colour of them is fab, Sue, love the christmas beads - wish my stringer work was up to that level - more practice needed !
I finally got to play with some glass I got from Donna a while ago, not my usual coe104!, and, not my usual bead style - in so much as I have any style :) :) I got a new press last week as well so I can make small lentils now so I thought it was a good time to play with something new :)
(http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/n514/tomcat_beader/pinkspotty.jpg)
The lentils are gold opal plink with cream spots and the spacers are effetre pink etched, my lady is going to make it up into a bracelet for one of her friends for christmas
Wow, i love those bunnies and angry birds ;D

Just previewed this and am thinking I have to find a better way of describing my work other than by colour!
Gorgeous stuff on here this week, but I'm particularly liking the "serious bowl" and those vases.
Here are couple of vibrant offerings from my good self. I think the first set was an exercise to prove that sometimes, less is more:

Monique.
As always the hard work by all this week is stunning.
I have had a play this week, making a couple of ring toppers.

Lovely ring toppers and bottle stoppers, nugget and flowery jewellery, and amazing fritty beads and birds.
Time I showed some of my work. So here goes.
(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-dxMKyFpW1bI/Ttyw1RFj7GI/AAAAAAAAC2c/4dNAWmTIvAs/s288/DSCF3735.JPG) (https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-WvoXpVIiUi8/Ttyw5v8EfqI/AAAAAAAAC2k/-QtKIe6roMU/s288/DSCF3737.JPG) I managed to get some colours from my first try with DH pandora
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-HgxK-hObx3I/TtyzV7XLxVI/AAAAAAAAC3g/ezgG53IQ2_Q/s288/DSCF3761.JPG) And a lovely bronze effect from... um...something. wish I could remeber which it was. I will have to experiment again.

And some more pebbles.
So many lovely beads already, I especially like the reaction with the plum on the ivory. I've been playing with hollows again I'm managing to get a much better success rate at beads within a bead. This has helios scrolls too. Its a bhb so just need to core it.

Sorry for the hog, still addicted as you can see! x
I'm afraid it ring-toppers from me too or rather pendant-toppers using George's new screw pendants. Finally got to have a proper play with the techniques learned on Carla's course and the cab tutorial by Manda. It's taken me a while to get these right but they are improving now each time I make one. Have to say I am a bit impressed with that there new clear glass from DH!

Great glass again this week, loving the Angels and all the Christmas themed glass.....I have been experimenting with some new colours and some Kugler Purple from Manda!
(http://i853.photobucket.com/albums/ab94/RASPBERRYRINGS/PC080007.jpg)
Kaz, that top red ring topper is fantastic and Jenny, that wheel is lovely :)
I've been stone tumbling again - I just love the effect it has on the glass - chocolate and dark red.

I've also made another implosion bead and a silver lined pale blue heart and turned them into necklaces

Ceil I love those bead sets to I think I might have to try tumbling they are just gorgeous ;D

Jenny....beautiful huge holed bead! ;D Have you made the silver loop yourself?
Yes I have Lyn ...George has inspired me to be bit braver with my wire work although still not confident enough to buy sterling silver wire these are all made with silver coated copper as I was experimenting.....I have also been playing with this design which has proved really popular by creating a ridge for the wire to sit flush into whilst I was making the cab I think I might have to take the plunge as this design would be lovely in sterling :

Loving everything on this week ... I have been having some much needed play time .. and left David sweating over bead liners !!!!

All lovely offerings as usual, especially like the Fairies, not had much time this week as getting ready for the Christmas fair this weekend, and not had a very good Saturday, just hope Sunday is better, but lots of people remarking on and taking about my "Dragons Eye" The first one I have made, and made by accident, it just grew out of a Clio bead that went wrong and I just kept on adding glass!!, so looks like I shall have to make more?

Nice Stars! particulary like the coloured dots on the tips
I've been playing with mottle shards!

OOOOH Madeline, they are right up my street! Love the stars too, what a really pretty shape, very clever!
Here's a few of my latest bits. I'm still totally addicted to pixie dust and goldstone frit, I just can't seem to leave them alone!!! The lentil beads are big and chunky, 38mm diameter, I'm loving making these now I have 2 oxycons and LOTS more heat!

Love the ring!
My OH bought me a heart press for Christmas after subtle hints (well actually I had to open the website up, gesticulate wildly at the heart press- not quite sure that's a subtle hint but it sure worked for me!) and I have been busy ever since. Trying to master the shape first, then will concentrate on decoration, but heres some simple ones for starters. I also invested in a cheapo white pop up type laundry type thing that works brilliantly as a light tent which the etched heart was photographed in.

Love the piggy and the etched heart.
This Christmas I made myself a plain necklace with hollow beads.

Monique, I love your simple hollows, I really must practice hollows more!
Beautiful, Kathy, love the barrels on the left.
Here's a fun sheep button that I had to keep hidden until after Christmas, hopefully its been given now!

Everything is so lovely - glad every one is having productive Christmas weeks! ;D
My playing isn't as exciting as some of the bits here, but learning my way around my torch again has been a lot of fun recently! The 4 cabs in the bottom right are my first attempts... 2 of them have nuts in them, playing around with the toppers ideas.

All gorgeous, but loving Lakelady's focal in particular.
Due to work madness and then a dodgy arm over Christmas, I've not been on the torch much. However, thanks to a clever osteopath, I managed to play a bit yesterday and made these. They have silver mica in them, so they have a bit of subtle sparkle about them (a bit like their maker!):

These are all Christmas commissions I'd made earlier - should be safe to post now :)
