The outline was traced from a newspaper. Later beads I've just drawn myself. This is a footballer shouting.

and this is the off mandrel heart I mentioned in an earlier post as a quick additional pressie for second son's partner,

Love those Pat :) I don't know when I last posted in here, must have been absolutely ages ago, so here's a couple of recent beads!
Made using Fire Lotus (and I got some colour out of it ;D)

Anyway, happy New Year to everybody and let's hope we have another year filled with lots of pictures of beautiful beads :) :)
Ooh, June, love the colours on that first bead!
I've been spending some quality time with the new Minor setup I recently bought. I have enough heat to make brass wire bubbles easily, yay! (Next on the "to do" list: get to grips with not overheating them) So these are some friends' Christmas presents:

I have also been trying out my first ever press, which was a very welcome birthday present:

Very cool, Pat!
June, those are both lovely.
Kathy, I really like the bubbly earrings ;D
Here's what I made at the end of 2012.
Some pressies: gremlins, a baby quaggan from Guild Wars 2, plus Iron Man and Hawkeye.

This was a prototype for my entry for the Winter competition.

I was making some jewellery at the end of last year so made some simple sets of the kind of thing I was finding I was using: a focal and a bunch of coordinating spacers. I was wondering if the red/turquoise set would fit the 60s theme, but I have a better plan for that.
(http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8212/8339850208_9bd7430a91_m.jpg) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/kalorlo/8339850208/) (http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8222/8338793211_c137f52b1d_m.jpg) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/kalorlo/8338793211/) (http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8223/8339850598_c908a8b011_m.jpg) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/kalorlo/8339850598/)
These were for the Craft Pimp "Out of your comfort zone" challenge. I haven't used my heart press in ages, never used my CZs before, and got out the nasty devitrifying striped pink and the not-so-nasty but still very devitrifying Reichenbach purple rose. They're encased in Effetre rose quartz here. I think the striped pink one came out ok (the plain spacers I tried making with it were still a disaster) but I don't like the purple one much at all. Don't like the colour distribution or the CZ placement or that I made a twist then melted it in before putting the CZ on top... Anyway! Last, a pair of CiM plum little hearts.

Gorgeous wigwag bead Linda, you're so talented. I have some of Madeline's wigwags but have never used them - maybe I should give it a go
Rosenquartz - loving seeing your progress, keep going!
Heather - all gorgeous, as normal.
I don't have anything very exciting to show this week, mojo has gone a bit missing, but here we go:

The footballer bead is amazing and the heart is very pretty Pat!
I love the fire lotus bead June, fab!
Lovely lentils, Kathy and the earrings are great!
Loads of loveliness Heather, I love the baby quaggan, Iron Man and Hawkeye.
Cool pendants Rosenquartz!
Linda, the wigwag bead is brilliant - I really like the edges!
Beautiful sets Helen, there's definitely mojo there!!
Was making beads yesterday in 40 degree heat - flip it was hot! Today will be hotter I think...
A new set of Inner Depth beads....

I love the aqua set, Helen!
Steph: lurvely ;D
I think this is the last set left over from last year:
Lauscha silver crystal over deer brown/rose tea. Love the way these look.
(http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8223/8343068595_3f5da838f3_n.jpg) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/kalorlo/8343068595/)
I had a horrible thought when making this bead that I'd mixed COE's so didn't want to spend time adding more decoration. It didn't crack so I must just have been confused!!!
(http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1426/5604171/22750186/405202731.jpg)
I didn't get confused with this one, just wanted to leave it plain,
(http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1426/5604171/22750186/405202730.jpg)
The first word was meant to be "love" but I didn't leave enough space between the down and up strokes.
Lovely work everyone! I have a new bracelet to show:

I love the last ring Trudi! :)
Love your inner depth beads Dee Dee.
I've been playing with Reichenbach Light and Dark Multi. Got some pretty colours. Show up better in the pictures than in real life though.

OOh, lots of lovlies this week.
Pat, love the footballer! :)
June, VERY envious of the colours you got out of Fire Lotus!
Kathy, love the bubbles and the colours in the lentils.
Heather, all just lovely as always.
Rosenquartz, very clever, like these. :)
Spexy, love the wigwag bead and you got great colours of the reichenbach (I have to quietly confess to being rather obsessed by the multi's, they do wonderful things with silver glass!). :)
Helen, so fresh
Steph, love these and love the colour combo
Trudi, the golden round ring (bottom one) is very lovely.
Kathy (MP), so spring like, very beautiful. :)
Haven't posted in here in ages for various reasons but as these were about to go onto Etsy and only needed another little sizing tweek to go on here thought I should put them up. More of the same DH obsession, but trying to get stocks up for the summer and get Etsy stocked up. Have just got the Drew Fritts marble book (thank you Janet) and planning on doing more of those soon!

Wow, lovely colours Linda - you clearly don't have the "duff" batch of Multicolour dark that I have!!
Lotti - those beads are really pretty and have some lovely depth to them
I forgot that I have another focal to show:

Love the silver black, Steph...I can get it to go metallic but I've never got any colours out of it!
Rachel, the 'happy accident' is gorgeous :o
Well and truly out of my comfort zone with this one, but I think I like it!
(http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u286/Spookyjewel/024-2_zps5f092245.jpg)
Lovely lentil Rachel, very pretty Amber, you've done a great job with those toppers Katrien and Fruddy, well your beads always blow me away.
I dug the Clio out and had a play. Really pleased with the results. The sun poked it's head out for a while so took a advantage and took a piccie. Sorry they're still on the mandrel.

Lovely sunflowers to brighten up a grey day.
These are my makes from last night. I started supplying a gallery just before Christmas and it is doing quite well and has requested some more necklaces so these two sets with some added crystals will be going there

I've fallen in love with tangerine sparkle.
A couple more from me, I can't find the top one at the moment to measure it but it's large.

Absolutely gorgeous Madeline.
I made 2 beads last night that I am really proud of.
Firstly this one, practising my stringer work

and this one

both a bit tricky to photograph.
Lovely beads Saga Suus, though quite large photos!!! ;D
I made mottle shards yesterday, these are the first results with them (both sides of the same bead):

I finally used one of Madeline's wigwags... although the wigwaginess didn't really stay in the finished article (no doubt due to beadmaker numptiness):

Here is the beads that I have made; these are going to a new home in Norfolk

Lynn won the custom murrini pull in the Breast Cancer raffle and I offered to make beads for her instead. She gave me a brief "I particularly like flattened shapes like lentils and tabs, I love etched finishes, and there aren't many colours I don't like but I particularly go for earth tones, turquoise or pinks and if there can be a touch of lime green in there somewhere then I'm perfectly happy"
Using gorgeous murrini by Julie HB - here's the finished set

Lovely work everyone, I especially love the dragonfly :)
I decided this wasnt working yesterday and actually hesitated over the water pot with it, before putting it in the kiln thinking it would end up in the fugly jar.

Ok, so it's 5am and I've been wide awake since 3 ::). Had several sales on Etsy and a good beading session yesterday and now brain won't sleep. Ho hum. So here are a few pieces of jewellery I made on Saturday which I am really pleased with including my lampies of course, had a play with the photos too.

Wow, such nice stuff already. Linda - love that middle necklace, so pretty and fab colours! Haven't seen Key Lime Pie before now KissmyGlarse, but that set is very delicate, a really feminine look. Lantana - in awe of your flower making skills - I can't do anything remotely like that. Gaynor - full marks for persistence! It DOES look like a fish, honest! ;D
Here's my motley selection of work from this weekend. First up, both side of another lentil with mottled shards on it:

Ooh, there's a whole pile of gorgeous beads in here! 'Scuse not doing one by one, I kinda have to post and run.
I made two pairs of earrings for the 52 things in 2013 challenge. (Have been blogging them).

That is SO sweet Rascal!
Thanks to those who responded to my plea for help with camera settings-I ditched my light tent, blew the dust off my tripod and life is a lot better!
Addicted to making murrini at the mo, and large focal lentils and cabs, nothing ground breaking but a lot of fun to make. Here's a few:

Thanks for looking x
Wow, what a spectacular gallery already and it's only Monday. Pris, that bead is a total stunner - amazing. Amber, I really like that combination of colours in your beads, they remind me of a rocky sea shore. Linda - who cares that it didn't win a prize, as long as you like wearing it, that's much more important. Kaz - luscious as always - the top set is my fave, love their organic feel. Helen - all smashing, but the Moroccan mint tea set is my favourite of them all.
I have a blue and white set to show:

Wonderful wonderful beads this week everyone.
I have been playing with off mandrel pendants (among other things) and I need a bit of practice with the loops (I know I can do these with making a bead and then adding it to the pendant at the end, but I quite like the look of handformed ones). I have been making soft glass vortex paperweights (inspired by SteamPunk Glass and other artists and various tuts) and so tried to combine the two. Still needs work and this one has been kissing someone in the kiln a bit, but I love it and will keep it for mine!

My offering today is a silver glass murrini which I made and managed to get on ok without too much sideways squishing, and then managed to get a reasonable photo, although the murrini is difficult to capture in a photo!

Lovely slumped plate! I haven't worked up the courage to try large slumped items yet :)
Here's a last post from me and some of the beads I've been making over the weekend:

Loving the dolls Sarah, they're sure to be popular with the little girls! I've been twisting and wrapping and generally getting a bit carried away with copper:

Love the dolls Sarah, always great when someone suddenly comes out with something you don't expect!
Gay, your work is always gorgeous but I particularly like the wirework in the bottom one...
This is my work from the weekend. I was pleased with these cubes - simple but pleasing to the eye:

OK, Daleks - now we're talking. Scifi and glass - I never thought this through. Genius! Star trek emblems on coasters....spock's ears. R2 D2...omg inspiration for the geeky nation.
Anyhoo - wasn't sure how to finish this bunting....ends in colours or in clear and decorated or in colour and decorated?

I go to a glass evening class and we found we had a big bag of shattered glass (from windscreens?) so I decided to have a play with it and some copper wire.
After watching a Kristina Logan video from the Corning Museum yesterday, I thought I'd have a go.
(http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1426/5604171/22750186/405592890.jpg)
It's a bit wobbly but I'm pleased with it considering that my hands shake slightly when applying dots. Looking at it again, the pale green reminds me of cucumber slices.
Some amazing and very different work on here this week :)
I got a commission for a couple of large cabochons - a bit out of my comfort zone but once I had started I couldn't stop

Gorgeous murrini by Julie HB - top right, middle left and centre and front left and right! The rest are my own, including the new Inky Dinky ones top middle!
The cab centre row centre has a big dint in it as it fell off the mandrel just as I was finishing it - ooops!

Hi - finally got back to the torch after Christmas! I have been trying out the lovely Reichenbach 94 pinks and purples from Caroline Beadbug:

and working on my shards - these are triton on black - difficult to capture the colours but they have a sort of 'industrial' look to them that I love.

Love that purple & green combo - truly scrumtious!
Gaynor, you are making loads of progress at the moment, fabulous work.
I've already posting my week's offerings in the Colour Challenge & Theme Challenge galleries, but here's something new - my first time trying some dichroic frit flakes from the USA... Hard to see in the photos, but this gives the beads flashes of fire like you get in opals:

Hi all, great start to the week. Looking forward to seeing those opalescent beads in person Helen. They look superb.
My contribution is a silver glass tutorial bead that I got the LE forum.

European charm bead in triton (http://www.flickr.com/photos/hazelhousejewellery/8463818151/) by Marklaird (http://www.flickr.com/people/hazelhousejewellery/), on Flickr
Coil of triton silver glass (about 5 coils), reduced, and then blogs of clear on alternate sides (4 blobs per side), then melted down to form the European charm bead.
Photo doesn't really do it justice, so need to get some advice from everybody on how to photograph beads to bring out the best in them.
Mark
great owl Pat,
a fab beady start to the week,
fishnets from me

Some lovely pieces on here so far this week - I particularly love your dicro beads Helbels, I am a real fan of dichro and those a gorgeous!
I have been having lots and lots of fun making MASSIVE big hole beads! I had a customer ask for a couple as a commission for a necklace and they are so fun to make, as its no holds barred, add as much glass as you like!
Sorry for the hog.

Stephanie ... those clear cut lines you always get on your sandblasted beads always amaze me ... so perfect ! :)
I hope you don't mind, but I thought I'd just add a few recent(ish) bits, seen as I have been away for a while, and am not making as much as I'd like to at the moment ...

(http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1426/5604171/22750186/405664297.jpg)
Those of you happy with dichro, am I getting the right side applied to the bead? I've forgotten how to tell.
All lovely lovely lovely :)
I've been practicing my thin stringer work, that I was taught last weekend. Not quite as thin as it should be, but it's thinner than it was....diet stringer ;)

Sarah, great stringer work, and so effective.
Kaz. wow! I must try again with my bc if that's what can be acheived!!!
Another quick one from me. Experimenting with triton, leaving part unencased and part encased. I tried to press the encased triton against some mesh to get a potruding pattern before encasing. Well that didn't work, but I like the effect I acheived LOL!

I hope I'm doing this right, have never started one of these! I was excited to pull these out the kiln this morning. Although they're not things I would wear, they were little technical challenges that I set using Jeannie Coxs' tutorials. Hope you like them :) Happy Monday!

Those spotty cabs make lovely earrings, very wearable.
I've been practising murrini pulling and applying, and have tentatively had a play with a few enamels both in the murrini and also on beads, so was quite surprised to getr some nice results first time round.

Wow, so much loveliness! Love the tree bead especially.
I've been lentilling around with my stash of rod ends! Was really satisfying to use up so many ends.
(http://i1088.photobucket.com/albums/i325/purple_cobwebs/lentils.jpg)
Those hollows are WOW
Pat,
The multicolours are all Clio on different base colours. The small ones are just right for earings.
(http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac24/oskar56/sun3_zpsa54938ec.jpg)
These are similar colours, they just look a little darker because of the background.
Peter
I'm in awe of all the wonderful, beautiful, quirky and fun stuff you have to share!! :)
It is such a long time since I have had anything worthy of showing, but the last week I have finally had some sort of a breakthrough with a design that I have been working on for some time. Some of you might remember I showed some drawer knobs with a spiral design. I wanted to use that design in cabs, but I couldn't get that centre of the spiral quite right. Although I still don't get it right every time, I have finally found a way.

Loving the cabs Julie.
I've been busy this week making lots of little sets of beads to add to my Etsy store. Spring is here!

Lovely beads everyone.
As my first post I would like to show you a nugget bracelet. White and clear glass - most of the beads are sandblasted.

These are the first beads I've made in a while so I hope nobody minds me starting this week's thread. :)

Can't wait to see what you've made!
You've heard of a square peg in a round hole. Here's a square bead with a round hole.

Mouthwatering colours Kathy and Pat!
I had an oopsie with a couple of my cab pendants - I dropped them and the bails sheared off. So, with Julie Lush's encouragement and cab slumping programme, I put them in the kiln and they came out as lovely smooth and very flat cabochons! I am going to make some more deliberately as I think they'd be really good for seed beading or for setting in silver.

Wow what a lovely start to the week. I have a couple of focals to offer to the mix. The first one features some of Kaz's murrini (so glad I tidied my glassy draw I found all sorts!).

Kathryn, loving your spring flowers, they are just so fresh looking and Gaysie that focal is just gorgeous!
I have been making silver glass murrini again, really pleased with the "ghostly" effect that I managed to achieve.

(http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii90/Fruddster/IMGP6112_zps58c2ebfb.jpg)
I've also been enjoying mixing various silver glasses together and seeing what comes out of the flame when reduced and encased, never ceases to excite me!

And lastly, inspired by Helen's absolutely amazing and wonderful bumpy beads, I thought that I would practice making bigger beads with bumps, crikey its harder than you think it is!!!!
(http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii90/Fruddster/IMGP5847_zps06756e3b.jpg)
Sorry for the hog guys! Hope you all have a great week.
So many gorgeous beads, but I absolutely adore the first one of Gays. So fresh and yummy!
Lovely Lillies.
I made some sets...

Gorgeous beads this week. I have a wedding set to show. It took me ages to get the colours right, as the bride wanted forget me knots as the little flowers. Anyway, I'm pleased with it, and most importantly so is she!

Love the lillies, can't see any of the other new photo's for some reason :(
These are some new style (for me) bumpies, I think they look like 60's/70's tiles and lino flooring. I have more in the same style in the kiln ;)

Following on from my foray into wire trees, I decided to go one step further and this was the result

I know you don't get differently coloured leaves or different flowers on the same branch but it pleased me.
Beautiful beads and other glassy things this week ;D
I had the idea for these beads a while back, but couldn't find any black and white murrini anywhere...luckily, both Kaz and Linda (Spexy) jumped to my rescue and the result is this set. I'm so, so pleased with them :)

for all the mothers out there whose husbands/partners have forgotten to get their young children organised for a Mothers Day card/present/bunch of flowers.
Haven't had much time to browse the gallery recently but have just had a good look through some really beautiful work thank you for sharing. I just love that Jupiter bead the colours in that are so beautiful, Helen we all LOVE your bumpies and Pat those flowers are awesome and loving that pink Studio Girl. I have been playing with a few designs but keep going back to the big necklace beads I make....here is the latest batch ;)

Sorry for the hog!

Beautiful, Kaz! The second and third ones are my favourites :)
The beads aren't new (a couple of years old actually, from when I was practicing stringer control) but I finally found time and inspiration to make a necklace:

Hay looking good Nora - love the pink. Karen your bracelet looks even prettier in the sunlight! Here are a couple of focals from me:

Again they use Kaz's fab murrini ;D
Gorgeous Kaz!! All of them!
Noora just love that pink bead - such a pretty colour.
KissMyGlarse -didn't you do well - they are amazing!
Gay - fab focals, like the ivory one in particular.
I've just popped some details of how I made the beads below on the "Playing with Ossa" thread, so forgive the duplication, but I thought I'd pop them here as well as there's bound to be interest in the new DH. Suffice to say, it's capable of some LOVELY colours!

Ossa is on my glassy lust list too!
I've had a pants week, made some really naff beads. Also used up the last of my blue flower murrinis, but didn't write down what I made them from, so having to go back to try to reinvent them. A couple of cabs came out ok though. Used iris gold in the green murrini, a strange glass, going to have to try to use it a bit more as I bet it's got a few surprises to it.

Silver clay ring with lampwork 'cab'. I cannot for the life of me remember what colours I used but I think its ink blue effetre with clear frit which I still can't get to stay clear. However I love the silver look it keeps creating. Sorry the photos aren't great. Sarah xx
I've been asked to make some focal beads for our local bead shop to try on a commission basis so....
Gay you inspired me to have a go at a tornado bead :)

and I've jumped on the shard bandwagon and blown some shards which I used to decorate this bead.

I've just made another of these to make sure I've not lost the knack.
(http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1426/5604171/22750186/406000322.jpg)
The bead is free to jiggle up and down the stem of the glass, one way to tell which glass is yours at a party.
Lovely ring Sarah. Linda be careful I'm a little addicted to tornadoes at the moment! Pat I love that idea - I'm just to chicken to try it! You could have a whole range in different colours to stop people getting drinks mixed up at Christmas.
I've been making more tornado focal beads

Hi guys, wow there's some lovely things in here this week. My particular favourites are Steph's lentils (I'm a sucker for purple!), Babyshoes St Patrick's day bead - that's a great start and well done for being brave enough to post on here for the first time, Pam's incredible mega set - bloody hell, how long did all those lovelies take you :o, Phoenix bead's yellow froggie, because they are my favourite colours and that frog made me smile, and Julia's beautiful etched frit beads - as normal, stunning in being so understated.
I have a set to show made from Madeline's wigwags:

Thanks for looking.
More lovelies since I looked in last!
Love the goldstone base Carrie, very effective!
Very cute froggie Jayne, and I really like the floral one too!
WOW Pat, that's gorgeous, love the way you have wired it all together!
Really like the frittie focal Julia, the spiral really adds to it!
Oh wow Helen, I love the dark blue wigwag ones too! FABBO!
Another set from me this week....

Ooh, I haven't started one of these for a while!
Some of you may have seen this one on FB, but I don't think I've posted it here yet. I've no idea where the lovely blue bits came from and haven't been able to reproduce it, so it's definitely a keeper ;D
(http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u286/Spookyjewel/038-1_zps7f714fea.jpg)
That's so pretty, shape as well as colour. Like space I think :)
Ooh, pretty!
I have some beads:
A pair of gremlins
(http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8237/8586950801_876ea77e29_m.jpg) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/kalorlo/8586950801/)
Small harp lentils - these will be being made into necklaces for the Edinburgh Harp Festival. I have some larger ones in the kiln from yesterday.
(http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8508/8586950915_738f7a80cb_m.jpg) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/kalorlo/8586950915/) (http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8386/8586951043_876e955b46_m.jpg) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/kalorlo/8586951043/)
('Scuse the excess reflections, I was in a hurry!)
Oooo Amber - that's gorgeous - looks like a photo of a Galaxy. And Heather - I always love seeing your Gremlins and great stringer work on those lentils. ;D
It's been a while since I got to just make stuff for fun but I thought I'd revisit a few old styles, just for kicks:
(http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8390/8588465233_dd0b42c799_z.jpg) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/31197390@N08/8588465233/)

and even though I can't go and see Lucio at the Flame Off I still practise my sculpture - I'm starting to get a bit better on limbs (but don't look too closely!!)
(http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8239/8588464693_99c06c376d_z.jpg) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/31197390@N08/8588464693/)

Oh yes, good arms! I love the curve in her back and tail.
Wow, what an awesome start to the week already!
Amber - the blue in that bead is luscious - how annoying not to be able to recreate it!! :(
Heather - wonderful harps - I wouldn't know where to start on making a harp bead, but you've done great.
Sally - I know I should rave about your sculpture, but the coloured brights are actually my favourites - I have simple tastes!! ;D
I have three sets to show. First up, some marbley looking beads:

And finally some black and white ones from a wigwag I made myself (with apologies to Linda Spexy from whom I stole the concept):

Loving everything ive seen so far ,cant even pick a favourite
I thought I would pop in and have a look at the gallery. Liking the new glass and Sal your work is always super.
Love the B/W wig wags.
I made some of my beads up into this copper bracelet.

That bracelet is delicious, I love the purple tones in the beads, they are fab x
ok i have a lot of beads to show all at once i make beads daily and save them up to go into the kiln

My goodness, all stunning, a bit scarey to follow with my experimentals-although I was very pleased with my kelpy seaweed in the bottom one.

They are smashing Melanie - amazing for experimentals!! Tish - what a lovely lot of beads, your kiln must be a biggun!
yes it is i got it at FO last year
(http://i402.photobucket.com/albums/pp103/littlewib/003-10.jpg)
What a lovely start to the week everyone x
I'm loving them all especially the orange set it's my favourite colour :))
Helen, I adore all three of those sets, but especially the marbley ones!
That bracelet is lovely, and the dark blue spacers really help it pop.
Tish: what a haul! I like the orange fritty ones and the dark purple pillows - they've got texture.
Melanie: ooh, seascape 2 has fab shapes and colours in it.
Here are the medium harps. The carnelian one at the top discoloured a bit on the harp side. I really like the ivory one. (This is why I try to stand lentils up to photograph them! But can't do that with this many :P)

WOW Amber, that is a stunning bead, no wonder it's a keeper - like looking into space!
I love your gremlins Heather, and the harp lentils are great!
Fab beads Sal, but adore your sculpture (I haven't got the bottle to have a go!) - and her boobs are so pert lol!
Love the sparkly set Helen!
That's a gorgeous bracelet Rita, and the clasp is divine!
Wow, loads of beads Tish! I really like the yellow and purple combo, not one I'd have thought of!
Not surprised you are pleased Mel, the sea ones are particularly lovely!
Really spooky, but I was making the exact same beads as Helen's black and white stripy ones yesterday, but won't post them! Instead here are a set of Inner Depth beads, I've got a beautiful batch of Multicolour Dark that you don't even have to try with - will cry when it's all gone!!

What a sad face, Steph!
It is too!! I never noticed - maybe I should reshoot lol!
Great as always ladies and gents. I have really lost my mojo lately but the excitement of FO and the thought of seeing Lucio again has given me a bit of a lift, plus I have a one to one lesson with Di East on Sunday so I'm hoping to be back at it.
Dee Dee I bought a tut for those style beads a while ago now but I've never got results anywhere near as brilliant as those, well done!
Thanks Alison! I'm thinking of doing a little video of me making them, to help my customers, but need to work out how!!
Steph, please post your black and white beads! Bet they will put mine to shame, but I don't mind!

I thought that too. So many beautiful beads to comment on all. The brain just won't do it these days. I "lost" Bill's insulin for 15 minutes the other day.
Thanks! The Brights were beads I used to make over and over when I first started beadmaking. I realised it was literally years since I made some the other day so thought it was high time.
Beautiful work everyone - great stuff.
Pat - losing your memory is quite normal considering what you've been through. It's so great to see you on here posting. ;D
Thanks Sal. I see Caroline every fortnight at Barleylands and that helps.
Lots of great beads and sculptures already.
Loving the black and whites beads and the inner depth.
Sally your sculpture is amazing, great assets ;)
I have been making some little chicks and hollow eggs!
Happy Easter everyone :)

Wowee! I LOVE those Eggs and Chicks- so cute!!! Aren't you clever?!
They're lovely.
Thank you. I had fun making them!
The eggs are wonderful and just the kind I like no calories
Love the mermaid Kaz.................and the brights, nice to see them back, always amazed me just how bright yours were!
Really love the seascapes, very pretty indeed.
I tried a pink chrysanthemim bead.
(http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1426/5604171/22750186/406134163.jpg)
It's getting there but the pink doesn't show up much. I'll try a darker colour next time.
Lots of beautiful beads everyone!
Karen - that bracelet is STUNNING! I just love the colours in it. I'm so envious of people who can put fantastic pieces of jewellery together.
I made a bracelet too

Lovely work everyone! Those eggs are beautiful and I love that bracelet Spexy!
Love the bracelet Linda :)
I'm still a bit obsessed with pendants in between murrini pulling!

Lovely beads everyone.
Kaz, your pendants are amazing (and the murrini too).
Could you tell which frit-blends you have been using?
Conny
Those ones are not blends - just opal sea blue and multicolour dark. Though I have made some others with Beadbug Frit blends which I love!
Kazx
Wow I loved the Greek Treasure in bead form - but the pendant is totally knock out! Love them all but the bottom one is fab-u-lous!!!! :)
Another brooch from me and a couple of focals - I've been playing around with the tornado technique and I'm quite pleased with the results.

Is that one of your murrini Kaz - I'm not sure but I'm just a little bit in love with it! ;D ;D ;D
love your phantom bead Gay, and your pendants Kaz, can I ask do you make the bead first then attach the pendant part? I've been trying to fathom it out!
kathsd
Gorgeous pendants and that murrini is beautiful Kaz!
I love your brooches Gay, and I know it's a bit cheeky to ask, but what do you attach them too - I think my best friend would love something similar for her birthday?
Gorgeous show as always !
That is fabulous - what an amazing red! Lovely.
I am pleased with these Dalai Lama beads. The picture doesn't actually do justice to the array of colours in them.

Great start to the gallery.
Karen, that bracelet looks gorgeous and the wire work is really neat.
Helen, wow they look stunning in the photo so bet they look fantastic in 'real' life.
Those beads are definitely MY colour, Karen.
Helen..beauties, those :)

And so you should be! Is it a paperweight?
Oh yes, no perspective it there! Sorry, too excited!
Love the red bracelet, and envious of the Dalai Lama colours as I can't get it to do much at all. Your paperweight is lovely and ethereal Jeanette.
I'm still somewhat into kelpy seascapes, suspect this may continue for some time!
Same bead, different sides...

Beautiful start to April!
Gorgeous bracelet Karen, the red is so vibrant!
WOW Helen, you certainly got some lovely colour!
Very impressive marble Jeannette!
Lovely lovely seascape Mel, I can feel the seaweed swaying!

Thought Gems in Bloom floral tute would go well with my flowery hearts...

Wow amazing start to the week folks - everyone has been busy over the Easter holidays !!!
Had a little play with some Chalcedony. These are all hollows
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v281/shirleygiles/beads%202013/DSCN2939500x375_zps91042d56.jpg)
Wow what an amazing start.
Karen - Amazing combinations of that bright red with the silver, love it

Jeanette - Your paperweight is gorgeous
Mel - Your kelpy seascapes are brilliant, the more I look the more I see
Dee Dee - agree with c-glass - jaw............floor..............drop......drool...........wow! those hearts dee dee, are a whole heart of gorgeousness!!! (sorry don't know how to quote) They are both amazing, think my favourite is the Fire heart though
Shirley - Amazing, beautiful colours and hollows just astound and baffle me still :)
Can't wait to see what the rest of the week brings as the start is amazing :)
What a fantastic start everyone - jaw droppingly good! ;D ;D ;D
I'll echo gay's last comment, all the beads are jaw droppingly good , what clever clever people you all are.
Gorgeous show!
Wow, what superb work on here so early in the week.
Steph - I absolutely adore your fiery heart (that's not a declaration of love by the way!) ;D
I have been working on trying to perfect something for a few weeks now.
As you know, a lot of transparents go murky/dark over silver leaf and wire, particularly colours like red, orange and yellow and I have been wracking my tiny brain to try and find a way around it, which it think that I have cracked consistently now.
I love rainbow colours but also adore the shine that silver foil provides, so wanted to try and combine the two. I got very excited when I first managed it in "Spellbinder" below, but thought that it was a fluke, however my heart did skip a beat a bit when I pulled "Keep the Secret" out of the kiln this morning, as I wasn't sure that I could do it again!
Anyway, sorry for the hog and thanks for looking.

They are just fantastic :-)
Looking at all these fabbilicious beads are making me even more exited about coming to the Flame Off on Friday eeek xxx

Rachel they are stunning, think 'Keep the Secret' is my favourite however they are all amazing
Dee Dee more stunning hearts that are just mind blowing. Again think the Red hearts and flowers is my favourite, think it is the metallic colour that I love :)
Steph, the fiery heart is just stunning.
Rachel: gorgeous colours in those BHBs!
Helen, the Dalai set looks lovely.
In between making lots of murrini over the bank holiday, I have a pair of grumpy gremlins.
(http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8123/8614155537_256af82cd2_n.jpg) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/kalorlo/8614155537/)
And my new Garden Gremlins! The one at the end has one of Jolene's apple murrini. These were great fun and I want to do more when I have time again!

Those gremlins are so cool and fun, love them :)
I love the lime green gremlin, Heather. It's the expression, I think plus the teeth are especially great.

Amazing heart beads, and Rachel your beads are stunning as always!
:)
I'm not really into heart shapes, but I'm not convinced that Steph is actually capable of producing something that doesn't make me drop everything and make enthusiastic-Gollum noises at the screen.
So many other shiny things, too. I've been admiring Rachel's swirly sparkly irridescent BHBs for ages, I wanna be able to do that sort of thing when I grow up.
OK, so this won't exactly an impressive follow-on from Helen's Dalai Lama beads, but this is me trying to learn how to use Multi. The colours are a bit brighter in real life, but this is a fair approximation. I'm quite pleased with getting some colour beyond grey, and with them turning out so different despite using the same rod of glass:

Good to know that someone else has a similar problem. I have to remember not to leave braids etc where they can be reached too.
Loving everything :) and when I grow up I hope I can make beads something like these :))) one day (now dreaming)
The kitty paw sets them off purrfectly..... ;) (I'll get me coat....)

LOL give me a minute I'm sure I can find something!! Thank you, actually you made me blush! You did get some lovely colour in your beads!! ;D
I adore the flowerpot gremlins Heather, they're fab!! ;D
Those beads are gorgeous Kathy. I assume there's something shy and feline on the end of the furry leg and its not actually a massive furry finger!
Love the fiery heart too Dee Dee.

What's at the end of the furry leg is something fairly bonkers and feline that's trying to test how close she can get to those
shiny rolling cat toys on string!!! before she's evicted. She's also the reason why all unattended beads (and small round fruit) are kept either on high shelves or in closed containers.
Kathy, I love those multi swirls, and your pic really made me laugh. I had a go at large discs for the first time this week. This is attempt number 3! The colours bled in the first 2. Does anyone have any tips regarding colours that stay crisp and don't bleed? I used sky blue and amber here.
(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-ea1JTXnkM9I/UV19lluSWQI/AAAAAAAAB5Q/xiIstjibwWU/s912/IMAG4854.jpg)
Ooh, sky blue goes well with amber! Is that just "amber" or "dark amber", by the way?
Kathy, it was dark amber. I had real trouble finding colours that wouldn't bleed for this technique. I also used dark teal transparent on the top of the dots. :)
Nice combo, would never have thought of teaming amber with sky blue, but it works!
Sherwood Cim is nice and stable, as is effetre apricot yellow. I find quite a few of the Reichenbach colours are spreaders/seepers/awkward bleeders, effetre purple is also a good worker.
I love the colours in your beads Kathy and the kitty paw is brilliant lol. I have gone to having to keep everything in my shedio and keeping the cat blocked out when I am doing anything - not always easy.
Lantana - really nice colours and that is brilliant for a 3rd attempt I would say
Some lovely work. I particularly like the Dali Lama and multicolour beads.
Well for the first time in ages I have some beads to show. I have been doing some making but mainly for jewellery/galleries as well as getting my house sorted to sell, doing a part time job and training course. but hopefully I'm back now. (I blumin well need to be, the less than delightful ex has decided to cut maintenance to less than 50% of what it was)

Ciel, the bottom right set is just :o :o :o 8)
Wow Ciel those sets are amazeballs :) Being a bit cheeky but how do you make a dahlia flower like that I've tried looking at different tutorials and I cant find nothing unless im looking in the wrong place.

Dee Dee they are both beautiful, I really love the inner depth beads they look amazing. You are so talented.
Love those quilled beads.
Dee Dee, those quilled beads are stunning!
I recently had a commission order, here's a couple of quick snaps I took before it went off to the customer:

Love those MCD ones :D
Quite pleased with how these two came out - still beginner beads, but I am starting to like some of what I make! Made last week, photographed yesterday.

Those are nice. Wish my dots would turn out so neat. Lovely work so far in the gallery
Steph, as always, your work is to die for. I just love the precision of your inner depth beads.
Dawn - stunning work - love the way that catches the light and sparkles like mad!
Babyshoes - you are doing great! I love the colours in the blue and green one in particular and your dot work looks good and precise.
I've been a bit busy since FO, so forgive the little hoglet!
These were actually made on the torches at Flame Off, but annealed when I got home. Think I've finally got the hang of Jennie's Swirl tut, and the donuts were made from a wigwag I made:

Whooot Whooooooooooooooooot!!!! Go Helen.....those swirlys are FAB!! You certainly did get the hang of them there will be no stopping you now!! Great Beads from everyone....... particularly like your multi/quill beads Steph they are gorgeous. ;)
Thanks Jennie, it's taken me FOREVER to figure out how to swirl without breaking the bead release all the time! They go nicely with wigwag beads too, which is handy as I'm addicted to them!
Lovely beads, I seem to have acquired Sarah's "posh mashers" I wonder if she'll notice if I remove them from the box before returning ;)
The stupid thing is that I've never had the urge to mash anything in my life before Sarah mentioned them, and then it was like "I have to have them"!
These are stunning beads!

Lovely beads so far this week. Yummy swirls Helen and Steph.
I'm so proud of this pair I'm afraid I've posted them in here as well as my original thread :-[ The brief was a 2" Goddess with big droopy boobs, hopefully they both fit the bill ;D
They are huge (for me), although that just doesn't show in the picture :(

Wowzers Linda - those beach hut and sailboat beads are just amazing!!! Shame about the crack, but you'll know what to do next time. Your Leah bead is great too... nice work.
Donna, love the saggy boobs - its a bit like looking in the mirror ;D
Some absolutely lovely beads here, brilliant

Thanks all for the lurvely comments!
Great piece Dawn, it looks large - is it a wall hanging?
Very nice little beads Babyshoes, your heat control looks very good and your dots are beautifully placed!
WOW Helen, gorgeous, hard pushed to pick a favourite, but if I had to - I love the cubes and the firey wigwag ones! LUSH!
They ARE gorgeous goddesses Donna - real women! ;D
Beautiful little headpins Linda and I love the beach house and sailing boat, the colours are lovely!
Love those Karen, especially the yellow one!
Lovely lovely disks Helen and I love the names!
It's a stunning week so far! ;D
Ooooo, Helen. I love those discs, particularly Leith junkyard, but part of that is my memories of Leith!!!!

Great piece Dawn, it looks large - is it a wall hanging?
Thanks Steph, it was actually a free standing panel the customer wanted, it stands on the two little metal feet. It stands fully upright, not leaning.
I am thinking of making another but slumping that into a wave form.
I haven't had chance to look at the gallery in ages, I am enjoying the eye candy!
Here are mine for the week:

Haven't popped in here for ages..........I feel like a newbee. What a gorgeous selection of beads. I particularly like Linda's beach beads, so summery and Steph's swirl beads and.........well all of them actually.
Gorgeous work here. I love the headpins and the discs.
Some shells from me.

There is a real summery air to the gallery this week. And so much eye candy.
Love the retro beads so much. FAB colours!
Quote from: Kiss My Glarse on April 09, 2013, 04:29:53 PM
I love retro patterns so I thought I would try to make some beads in true retro style ... first attempt, so hoping the next one will be much better ...

Wow! that is so vibrant.
I made a couple of large ring beads. Not even slightly bright I'm afraid.

The top one is copper green, heavily bicarbed and then scrubbed hard, and the other is bicarbed silver black.
Shall I begin?
I've been mostly practising encased flower beads - it must be that time of year again!

Sometimes just plain and simple works! I love that blue (Gaffer's light aqua from Beadbug!)
Kazx
Love the hearts, that's a gorgeous blue ;D
I've been playing with Gaffer, too...just clear, silver foil and chalcedony. I *adore* this set!

A few diddly cabs from me, for stud earrings. I was rather pleased with the oriental windmill effect-totally-not planned, but a happy accident from a murrini pull that looked a bit like it was going to be a bucket job!

Fabulous work everyone. Dee Dee I am just blown away as usual and Fruddy, beautiful. Peggy love these so much and Helen and Pegasys, lovely. Pretty beads in that cluster pendant Lantana. :). Just everything so lovely (sorry not to have commented on everyone, must try to come back tomorrow when I have a few more mins to do this, cos all sooooo beautiful).
I should be making beads but am addicted to making paperweights (baby ones) again. These are the latest with thanks to those who have inspired me (you know who you are!).

Gorgeous beads this week. :D Too many to comment on them all, but I particularly like Kaz's florals, Steph's heart, Rachel's murrini beads, Bev's lentils and Peggy's dichro butterflies. ;D

I haven't posted on here for a long time and reminding myself of the quality, I see why. The beads on here are amazing. Some lovely stringer work and a very impressive heart particularly stick in my mind.
This is a set I finished making yesterday.

Wow - there's some stunning beads on show this week! I love all the floral and silver glass ones in particular - perhaps we're finally seeing a bit of spring!
Here's a selection of some of my recent beads:

Here are my beads for the week:
(http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8403/8670307484_421a0efd5c.jpg) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/kathryngreer/8670307484/) Starry Nights (http://www.flickr.com/photos/kathryngreer/8670307484/) by Kathryn Greer (http://www.flickr.com/people/kathryngreer/), on Flickr
Let's see yours!
Kathy, as everyone else has said, those are fab - particularly like the first one.
I've been playing with enamelled murrini and Okeanos - I hadn't tried that glass before, but bought a single rod at FO. Think I'll get more.

And then I got this nice press as a swap from Maria Louisa at FO, but it's so intricate, I struggled to know what glass to use with it. So in the end I kept it as simple as can be!

So many lovelies. A very summery feel this week :)
Not being one for making necklaces I set myself a challenge. Rather than try and make something from what I had I actually planned these 2. I am really quite happy with them. Lets hope they sell though :)

Good lord, the thought of even posting in this week's gallery frankly terrifies me - no way I can match all the incredible beauty posted so far by Kathy, Bev, Kaz and Madeline... but someone has to lower the tone, so it's going to be me!
Some swirly beads, an organic set, some fritty barrels and a heart:

Lots of loveliness on here again this week everyone - Amber I particularly love the wonderful colours in your organic bead - remind me of the sea!
Super hot pinks from Phoenix too! Love it!
I have been making massive focals again which are for necklaces due to their size. They are such fun to make!

Beautiful beads from all - so many to mention!
Standouts for me are: Beverley's stunners, Kaz's starfish bead, Madeline's flowers, Shirley's roman window, Rita's pink bead and Les's beautiful hares!
But love everyone's work, so inspiring!
A combo pic from me this week....
A new firey heart, a coppery key and a green and gold sandblasted Tree of Life pendant....

A just out of the kiln bit of fusing for today, not quite beads but still glass ;D

Just thought I'd squeeze this one in before the new week, both sides of the same bead.
Amazing variety of styles on here once again...love the blackbirds and the hare bead, and Phoenix your beads are stunning! Fantastic fusing too, that must have taken ages to do and the result is well worth it.
Nothing so spectacular from me, but I'm still smitten by seaside stripes. Working on improving the stringer work too! :)

Can I sneak this one in - made a couple of weeks ago and cored yesterday. Already snapped up!

This week, I've just been amazed at the standard of work on here! I can honestly say that I've loved every post.
Out of all my makes over the last two weeks, I've finally got something that I'm pleased enough with to show on here!
It's my Dolphin Leaping. (Apologies to those who have seen it elsewhere, I was so chuffed when it came out of the kiln that I've posted it all over the world wide web LOL!!!)
(http://i1088.photobucket.com/albums/i325/purple_cobwebs/Dolphinleap.jpg) (http://s1088.photobucket.com/user/purple_cobwebs/media/Dolphinleap.jpg.html)
brilliant items from every one so far, love the dolphin and Pheonix's lentils especially.

P5120139 (http://www.flickr.com/photos/seally_beads/8731706191/) by seally beads (http://www.flickr.com/people/seally_beads/), on Flickr
it is my offering as PIF 159 if anyone is interested.
Don't think I've started a gallery before and can't believe noone has got here before me!
I finished a ring at silversmithing this morning. Lovely piece of labradorite that I got from Monty's Beads in a Sterling bezel setting. It's mine, and every time I wear it I shall try to remember to make the next one better!
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v281/shirleygiles/jewellery2013/DSCN3013500x375_zpsb1c4f7b4.jpg) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/shirleygiles/media/jewellery2013/DSCN3013500x375_zpsb1c4f7b4.jpg.html)
And now I realise this is probably posted in the wrong thread for jewellery....DOH!
Oh that ring is just lovely, the stone is amazing. I am rubbish at posting so I thought I would for a change and show a few things I have done lately.

Mention of goddess beads in another thread made me see whether I still remember how to make them. This was done a couple of days ago, front view
(http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1426/5604171/22750186/406614160.jpg)
back view
(http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1426/5604171/22750186/406614161.jpg)
three quarter view,
(http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1426/5604171/22750186/406614162.jpg)
The goddess is 50mm in length excluding wire.
Only just got my internet connection back, hence the delay in posting.
Someone else, off Forum, mentioned fish beads so I've revisited a simple one of those with a horizontal mandrel hole.
(http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1426/5604171/22750186/406614208.jpg)
Will make one with a vertical hole next I think.
Lovely stuff from everyone again this week.
Oh Pat, how I wish I had a bottom like that of your goddess!
Here's my offering for the week. I'm not really sure what to call them...

This really wasn't doing what it was meant to, but I put it in the kiln anyway as it was too much of a waste of glass to 'water'. Its 50 x 45mm and according to my fb friends it looks like a sea slug. I will persevere and try again next week :)

More sandblasting from me again ..... I loved the black Greek Key bead and thought it would look good in red - so I gave it a go! Also a zipped up bit of fun inspired by a manicure picture that I'd seen online!

Sorry for the hog everyone.
Angie, I love them all, they're really beautiful I have been working on some buttons with a bug theme!! I have made 3 of each kind. I'm not entirely sure what they can be used for, but I had fun making them.

Angie, just wow!!!! Those are amazing!
Lantana, great bugs - I can't make things like that to save my life, so am impressed by anyone that can.
Amber - that galaxy is fantastic, soooo sparkly!! I could look at it for hours!
Apologies for reposting this, as I already put it in another thread, but this is what I was up to this weekend, having been inspired by the work on http://www.colour-designs.co.uk/ and having bought one of her stunning necklaces!:

It's no good, you're all far too talented and clever, I'm going to have to lower the bar for a bit....
This week I have been mostly making headpins - have not been at the torch for a year and a half, and then I'd only had a few sessions. So, first post in the gallery:

Fantastic Jennie!
Love the cat too Ciel!

Kaz - you never make anything I dislike!
Sarah - fabulous slugs, like the organic feel of them
Amber - you are great at those beads, the last one is like a mini solar system in a bead.
Jennie - your work makes me despair (in a nice way). Those rings are just stunning. Sigh.
Ciel - particularly loving the black cat bead (because I own a black cat). Very cute.
Steph - another one that makes me despair from jealousy. If possible, your hearts just get better and better. Sigh.
Studio Girl - love the effects in that top bead, those flowers have amazing depth.
Nothing special from me this week, I've had the lurgy so not been on the torch very much.

they are very sweet little sets Julia.
I treated myself to a 3 month stint on Jolene's mini mo group ;D I found these in my kiln this morning. Outside of my comfort zone really colour wise, I found it hard to choose a colour to combine Jolene's beautiful murrini, twisities and shards but was plesantly surprised this morning.

Sorry to hog, thanks for looking xxx
Gosh, some beautiful work this week - loving the colours Sin, everyone's work is so nice - sorry if I haven't mentioned you all.
Plain Jane Chain from me this week - no colours - but set myself a challenge to make a glass chain. Hope you like. :D

Sal I love love love that chain brilliant! Helen that Moscow set is stunning the colours are perfect, Kay....what can I say I am in awe of you guys who can produce these identical beads! Loving all the colours this week....great Gallery! The sunshine is infecting us all with colour. I have been doing a few Glass Wheels this week, all in the region of 5cm in diameter with a 10mm core :) I have also been playing with the bright flat organic beads with bright colours, I have used colours that react and blur to try and achieve a cartoon style appearance to the bead....they are such fun to make!

I've made some earrings and a pendant with some glass cabs.

I had a stick of ossa delivered this week. I'm liking it, very different to the rest.
(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-mtC213R2a7g/UbI3Dx6bJkI/AAAAAAAAB9s/xZDZ34gUYiw/s912/IMAG5770.jpg)
Beautiful work so far. Too many great beads to mention. Here's one I made a couple of days ago. Not as good as Jennie's glass wheels but I am improving a little so I'm pleased with this.
(http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1426/5604171/22750186/406884601.jpg)
I got some good colours out of silver glass the last time I torched (I got some quite naff colours as well, but the least said about those beads the better), particularly happy with this small focal, goldstone sort of all through it giving it a sparkle. And this set of beads are amazing (being modest here), the psyche frit has gone a lovely metallic under the encasing (I usually just get blue or purple, not metallic colours when I encase) but they're full of bubbles that I have no idea how they got there but they sparkle like blazes (pretty sure it's not goldstone).

The pearl ones are domed, which doesn't show very well in the photo, and the antiquing has gone quite blue which also doesn't really show in the photo.
Lovely work everyone, stunning cabs, fab discs (remind me of fruit gums) gorgeous colour in the striking glass and lovely dainty earrings :)
I have a carousel to show.

Beautiful lentils Gaynor -the bottom one is particularly lovely!
A new firey heart from me - this one is a bit of an experiment! My original concept for my Heart's on Fire beads, was inside the heart of stone there is a fire burning. This one concentrates a bit more on the stone - I was trying to recreate a rocky texture...

Linda, those beads are lovely :)
Chipperpottery (is it Rita? Not sure, so sorry if I'm wrong) - your silver work just keeps getting better.
I just thought I'd pop these here as they show some of the new Effetre colours: Wood, Marc, Turquoise Grey Pastel and Antique Green Pastel (plus there's some CIM Glacier and Effetre Baby Pink thrown in:

These are the first sets of beads I have made since my class with Kaz!
well done on your first post bearyboo, lovely beads :)
sorry if you've seen this all over facebook but was rather chuffed to find this in the kiln this morning, I was playing around with the petal technique on a wheel bead.

I have been busy with an order this week. I thought 75 of the same beads would be tedious, but I really enjoyed the rhythm of it in the end!
(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-Op5L1EaxIYo/UcFk57eUPjI/AAAAAAAAB-E/F10vfsVm8uI/s912/IMAG5950.jpg)
I also finally made some of my first ever beads up into a bracelet for myself
(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-KPkzts7QVnQ/UcFlNpym3vI/AAAAAAAAB-M/ZCef-IF26eM/s912/IMAG6011.jpg)

Really fantastic beads everyone. I've made a few long beads, find it quite difficult to make them the same size.

Hi everyone , haven't posted for a little while so thought I'd slip this one in before I went to work .
Everything is lovely and all so different. I really like those long brown and turquoise ones Beadbug and that lentil Phoenix.
I've gone back to a style I used to do a lot about 4 years ago, maybe longer. I used to do them on a marquis shape but now its a nice simple straight sided lentil.

I should SO not be looking at this thread... Tan I love your hares, just love them... Diane, that tribal set is a fabulous new direction... that is one stonker of a black-and-white set Trish, how on earth long did it take to make all those?... Josephine those earrings are wonderful, so simple but with such a lot going on... and Steph's ocean hearts are making me want to go to the beach even though the weather is in no way suitable ;D
I have been making beads this week - not with a torch though I hasten to add ;D

I'd forgotten how addictive these are once you get started!
After so many amazing, grown up, and very sophisticated beads and glass makes, here's something to lower the tone!
After a certain Emma Green set a challenge to make critters, I followed a Julie Fountain Tutorial.
I don't know why, but whenever I make any sort of critters they look like they've had a brilliant night out the night before. So here are my morning after owls!!!!

Oooh - not started one of these threads for a while! Here's two of my focal beads I made over the weekend.

Many lovely things, as usual. I particularly love Madeleine's new peacock feathers and Barnacle's set at the top, with that gorgeous deep red/magenta colour (may I be so nosy as to ask what colour you used there?)
I made this lot last month, but only took the pictures a few days ago (badly. I think I need to to try again here, it turned out far too dark...)
I bought some frit from Caroline Beadbug at Flame-off, and this is what happened when I played with it. I particularly like the Alien blend, that's on the big lentil at the front.

Hello everyone. It has been some years since I have posted. Had to pack my things away for a move and long story short 2 &1/2 years later I have finally moved and set up my studio. After a few months practicing I feel ok to share a few.

Photo above: I was asked by the parents of my sons class to make a necklace for my their teacher. She has had a terrible year fighting cancer and so happy to say she has won. I wanted to make something special so I decided to make a necklace with a bead each with each 10 boys initials on it and one for 2013. I hope she likes it!

What lovely beads ... and Kay ... I love your bag ! :)
I've had my head down recently, and have some new beads to show :)
There's quite a few pictures, so I have restricted my hog to the sales board, but here's one of my newest designs, which I am loving at the moment :)

Good lord, it's the end of Monday and nobody's started the Gallery yet? We'll have to remedy that.
I have two sets to show you and a wonky wheel bead that isn't really worthy of showing, but what the heck.

I made this set on Saturday and I am rather pleased with it. It is similar to the beads I demo'ed at Flame Off a couple of years ago and I haven't made any like this for ages. The spacers are made with one of Bev's mini rollers which are fab!

Had a final play with my hothead on Monday to finish up my gas before handing it to its other owner - still lots to learn, but am very pleased with how these came out! I'm especially liking the colours I'm getting from Nyx - don't have a kiln so can't strike it, but getting a fab range of blues and shimmer from reducing and encasing

This came about while failing to make a cat bead, I got bored and tried a teddy bear, this was my second attempt and people who I showed it to where so kind I decided to frame it. As you can see both my glass work and my silver work needs practice but I like this piece. I have since added a silver chain and it is probably destined for the grand daughter of the lady I job share with.

First time I have started the gallery.
I made a pendulum for a customer.

Everything I've seen so far is fantastic but I particularly like the Pendulum (gorgeous!), Ocean (ooh!) and Wizard (WOW! :o)
I've been making murrini... they're not really all that special but I'm proud of them ;D

Bowl from me!
Lovely things, peeps! Lush!

Beautiful work girls, such a varied gallery this week, although very quiet, where are you all? Love the dragon eye murrini and Rita that pendulum is very ooo la la.
Bit out of the norm for me this week, this was for a challenge over on Bead Buddies, the theme was tattoos

Come on folks I need some glassy loveliness to drawl over, surely not everyone is on holiday...? :)
LOVE those primary coloured beads - they remind me of old pottery ;D
Pretty brights Gaynor, love the green and purple ones in particular.
Here are some new ones from me - dichroic purple sparkle:

Lovely Shirley, I bet that was fun! All the beads are beautifully bright this week but mine are quite subdued, for me especially! Please ignore the obligatory bead towel.

Have a good week everyone!
Lovely work everyone, I especially like Helen's purple set, and Alison's etched ones. I have something to show this time, a first go with Dalai Lama, which I finally made into something!

They're all still uncleaned, so sorry if they look messy
Nice beads everyone, specially like that second inky blue set of Alison's, and the Dalai Lama bracelet is superb. I can't get it to do anything nice!
Two sides of the same bead: Tattered Gold

Two extremes of complexity from me this week!
These first ones are what make me love glass so much - a commission for these large plain round etched beads - they are so tactile and just make me go aaaah!!

I love those flurry balls Kaz, the colours are so pretty.
I have been lacking inspiration for the past few weeks, so I decided to experiment and see what colours I could throw together, and I am pleased with the results ;D
I just hope these image's work....

I have got to admit, these beads are all the same shape and resemble round so I am doubly happy!

All gorgeous but there is something really stunning about that top set Kaz - just went on my flickr and they were there full screen looking delicious! :)

Gay, beautiful organic feel about those beads.
I have a couple to show. Some Boreas Barrels:

It won't win prizes, but here's my latest effort:

swirl dish final (http://www.flickr.com/photos/sleepychamaeleon/9536773097/) by sleepychamaeleon (http://www.flickr.com/people/sleepychamaeleon/), on Flickr
It's a dish to put wet things on in the bathroom, and matches our tiles.
I made a modelling clay original, I think I need to get some proper clay for a smoother finish.
Castalot is supposed to be re-usable, but I couldn't get the finished dish out of the mould even though I had fired it and Primo'd it; I had to chip it away. Maybe the moulded parts were too much for it - or perhaps I didn't manage to get rid of all the undercuts after all!
I was terrified that the mould would break and fill my kiln with molten glass - so relieved when the cooling cycle clicked in! :)
No new gallery yet? Where is everyone 8)
I'll start then...not made much lately due to an absent mojo, but here are a couple;

Ooh Amber, they're lovely! I particularly like the bottom one - gorgeous colours :)
I finally sat down to make something with my Rainbow Tie-Dye murrini that wasn't just a test piece...
(http://www.janehamill.co.uk/images/misc/murrini_tube.jpg)
Its a quiet week! .... but everything is beautiful so far.
Apologies if you have already seen these on FB but I have an acorn vessel and my first successful hollow bead set, destined to be a necklace.

Mmm, I like the acorn vessel, lovely colours.
I've been making stuff from an old bottle again; somehow making lots of bumpy beads with this particular bit of glass just feels right. I've made myself a bracelet:

What lovely work so far but WHERE IS EVERYONE???
Rita, beautiful bracelet. Josephine, what an amazing vessel. Kathy, lovely beads, great bracelet.
Here's my offering for the week, the glass is P&T lilac and looks completely different IRL.

I'm always so impressed with the work in the gallery. I didn't know you could melt bottles! Craziness.
Today I'll share something of my own - I was practising making encased bubbles? (don't know the technical term) so I thought for fun (after being disappointed with most of my beads) that I'd make an owl for my son, with whom I'm reading Harry Potter at the moment. I'm so pleased with him!
(http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3676/9579836288_b694d06b25_n.jpg)
Oh heavens am posting in a gallery again.... it's been a verry long time. Anyway back to basics with frit and encasing for me!

A good week, some super beads. I am doing an order of shells with crabs on.
Here is a brooch from me - made to go with the scarf shown

It's been eons since I started a gallery!!!
Anyway the kiln fairies have been kind to me this bank holiday and I've been going mad with frits and swirls

Yes, they are very pretty. I love it when beads are sort-of 'chaotic' (because of all the swirls in this case), it makes them interesing to look at. :)
I made these beads two weeks back but I finished the earrings today. Haven't had time for the torch since I came back from holiday because a friend of mine is now stalking me into doing sports with her :P Tonight I will be lampworking again, however! (hopefully)

They look especially nice in direct sunlight:

Yay I'm so happy with them.
Can't wait to see more pictures of all your lovely beads!
I've had a very eclectic bank holiday weekend!

Wow, what amazing stuff so far this week :o
Kaz - that bottom set is stunning :o :o
JnTcasey - particularly like the silver pendant, very dainty.
Nic - great attempt at slumping - love the dichro, very sparkly. I wouldn't have a clue where to even start!!
Madeline - you never make anything I dislike - lovely bead, as always.
I have two sets to show. First is some Pandora 2 Nuggets:

Here is an unfinished set, still need to make a few more.

Lots more loveliness since I looked here last, apologies to those on facebook as you will have seen these but I know a few of you aren't so showing them here too.
My newest design using the petal technique, I seem to have named them Petal Reflections

Love all the petals!
I had a commission for more realistic human eye murrini. The blue ones along with encased and unencased cabs are what he went with - I'd also made some grey-brown ones.

Linda, your necklace is really cute, I especially love the pendant part, you should make individual pendants in this style!! ;)

Have been absent a long time due to lack of studio in new house, but at least now I have a work space if no torch yet. Have been practising my silversmith techniques with some of DD's cabs (thanks AnnaSpanna). I made all the silver elements of this bracelet, and am chuffed and have sore fingers.

I haven't posted here for ages, but have loved seeing everyone's work. I was lucky enough to win the runners up prize for the colourful disc challenge, which was a fab collection of rods, most of which I hadn't tried before. One was Terranova 2, so I had a little play with it and made these nuggets.

Fab gallery everyone, loving ALL the beads but of course have to mention the petals, fab Lyn :)

Lots of yummy scrummy beads!
I have another necklace to show. There's 30 glass rings in this necklace which can be worn long or double wrapped as in the picture

Before the week comes to a close, I want to show you my first bead set. There's a special story to it.
(http://31.media.tumblr.com/6c82b5204230cf5adf7fe3a78d6345d2/tumblr_mt6k8cHIKf1siz0b5o1_500.jpg)
I'm going to give them to the person I bought my hothead torch from. When I bought the torch, she gave me a lot of other lampworking stuff (she was quitting the hobby), and I still have a lot of glass that used to be hers. The glass was mostly black/white/grey and brownish colours, because she liked neutral and natural colours. I also got some frit mixes. So I decided to make a bead set using only glass I got from her and that I would send it to her as a present :) I know she will like it, because she still makes a lot of jewellery.
It is a mix of frit beads, two beads with (quite terrible) stringer decorations (need to PPP!) and one chrysanthemum bead that turned out really pretty in my opinion. Sadly, one of the beads has broken (no kiln yet :( ), so I need to make a new one. Perhaps I'll add a couple more brown beads in the process :)
Looks like I'm starting the gallery again this week.

Well it's been a while since I posted anything and I've chosen to join in a stunning gallery, ah well.
I finally found something to make with all the leaves I've felt compelled to make, I think it's a bit of an addiction tbh ???

Hope you don't mind me posting these so late in the week, have been experimenting for a while and now getting the hang of these. Had a weekend a while ago with Di East making crinoids and encasing, have been madly making canes since and finally getting some results, although using them for wee cabs at the mo.
The blue cab at the bottom with the red stamen was from a piece of cane made by Di-I can't claim it as totally mine !

Brilliant sheep, love them, and helbels really gorgeous beads.
Not beads, but twisties made with frit.

Here's my beadies for this week, hope to be getting more torch time now the summer rush is over.
Some more floral cabs, the contrast is better on a dark background.

Have managed to get some flowers out of cane that I thought was too small to be of use, you can just about see one of them I think.

I tried the frit twisties, oh dear...but I did have one success. Last week I was trying to make a palette of rainbow colours by hand mixing transparents and opaques with enamels, and in the case of the opaques, with each other. What do you think? The purple was the weak link, so stubborn!

I love the sheep Sally - what will they eventually be? or are they just a flock for fun?
Helen I love the top lime coloured set too.
The sherbet twisties are so pretty.
The colourful rainbow are a wonderful array of colour.
I have been trying to make a few bits to sell for the poppy appeal, and came up with this heart. I have a few other poppy bits in the kiln today :)

Absolutely loving the rock dwelling worms!!!!
Am really pleased with the heart but also trying to get back into using some nice soft colour combos that don't involve frit!

Thanks for looking.
Don't blame you, Rita, it's gorgeous! Lovely shards, Caroline. Nice ones, SMHBuss, but very small. Pat, it's lovely to see you lamping again, hope your leg is a lot better.
Here is a dish I made just before going to America. I left it there, as a present to my aunt, and I took the picture over there - just got round to downloading it.

I was quite pleased with it, and she loved it. A mixture of dichroic and iridised glass, on top of clear.

Hello! Haven't been around for a while but thought I would have a look in, Nick I love that dish just beautiful, Rita I was admiring those on Facebook could look into them for days! Pat I love that shape I didn't realise there was such a thing as a oval cab mandrel.....I miss all these things!! SMHBUss that is a pretty collection you have there and Caroline great shards......So here is a selection of my recent melting adventures....hooked on the 3D Beads and they are growing in size!! Thanks for Looking x Jennie x

Sorry for the hog but I have, at last, made some beads that I am reasonably happy with.
Can anyone tell me what causes the black line on the top set, it is made with CIM tandoori and a goldstone and clear stringer?
Nice sets. I agree with Helen, I like the second one down.
I made a pumpkin shaped amphora..apologies if you've already seen it on FB. (http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7432/10271800364_fe3cce0a0f.jpg) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/29161864@N08/10271800364/)

Lovely lovely work everyone :)
I have a few pieces to show:

I made another cabochon but will try the next one with different colours,
(http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1426/5604171/22750186/407803935.jpg)
I made my first ever screw-on ring topper. And then promptly forgot the ring at my mum's house, so now I won't actually get to wear it for a least a fortnight. Go me.

Love that first dish Dawn! Fab! (not that the second one isn't fab too...I just like he first one best!)
I have been playing with something I came up with ages ago, but never took anywhere (more about that on my blog, link in sig)
and now I'm pleased enough with them to show
(http://madelinebunyan.files.wordpress.com/2013/10/p1400888adjlogo.jpg?w=700&h=)
and
(http://madelinebunyan.files.wordpress.com/2013/10/p1400978adjlogo.jpg?w=490&h=490)
off to make some more of those now :)
What fab beads, and other things this week. ;D
We have been festooning our window with rainbow lampwork beads (and balls of wool and crochet snowflakes) all week in preparation for Okehampton Carnival's best dressed window competition. The theme is rainbows and I love making rainbow beads...

Some really nice pieces of work here and very well photographed as well,
its been a year ish since I played with the hothead so i thought what the heck go the whole hog - not a brilliant bead and not well photgraphed :D
(http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/n514/tomcat_beader/handpulledterra.jpg) (http://s1137.photobucket.com/user/tomcat_beader/media/handpulledterra.jpg.html)
Hand pulled terra i got a while ago over ivory and encased. I like the 'moorcroft' feel to it and not too unhappy for a 3rd bead after a long break
I made a test tree 50mm cabochon when I got back from Sandown yesterday. I think if I do another, I'll not melt in the stringer as much and keep it slightly proud of the base.
(http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1426/5604171/22750186/407839094.jpg)
loving the tree bead there and everything else.
I have some to show at last, hearts ready for being made into pendants for the fair.

I've made two more cabochons, (http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1426/5604171/22750186/407847573.jpg) and (http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1426/5604171/22750186/407847572.jpg)
The smaller is 38 mm and the bigger 42.5mm
Looking good Pat.
I've had a commision for one of my disc necklaces. She chose the antique brass one but really wanted purples and pinks so I added some to the brass one and made a second choice for her.

Gorgeous beads ladies, very nice indeed.
I have a very simple set to show this week, the glass is periwinkle blue opalino, and it's such a pretty colour I didn't want to obscure it by adding anything else to it!

Lovely work on here as ever. Am pleased to post before it gets too full of amazing creations and scares me off.
I was very pleased yesterday to be allowed to spend a big part of the day in my shed. I felt like I'd made some lovely beads. Unfortunately this morning they didn't look as good as I thought they would but I still had a lovely time getting back to the lampworking.
This is one of the nicer beads I made:

I think also that my camera is too good. The beads look good to me then in the photos I'll notice things like tiny specks of something or other:

Since no ones started, I'll post, (http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1426/5604171/23586151/407909528.jpg)
and I seem to have got hung up on cabochons so here's a few more, (http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1426/5604171/23586151/407909537.jpg) (http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1426/5604171/23586151/407909534.jpg) (http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1426/5604171/23586151/407909533.jpg) (http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1426/5604171/23586151/407909532.jpg)
This last one was made on the end of a 5mm mandrel.
Nice work Pat.
This is my first time posting in this gallery. I have been fusing for a long time but I am pretty new to lampworking. I think my work is getting to a point where I can start showing it.

These pieces were finished yesterday morning and the earrings were sold that afternoon.

This is the second heart. I don't like this as much, perhaps because I rushed to get it into the kiln. It has a lot more clear and the inclusions are mostly odds and ends of twisties, bits of stringer too short for anything else and oddments of murrini pulls. A piece of bullseye must have got into my stash of "bits" because theres an internal short incompatibility crack which may or may not run. I've had similar small cracks in some large sand caste pieces done a couple of years ago at a class and they've never progressed any further.

An almost half round dotty cabochon.
Hello Everyone!
Pat, that heart is super! I have some dotty etched rounds...

Nick, I like the middle purple one the best but they all look great. I've made yet another cabochon, but slightly different from the others.
(http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1426/5604171/23586151/407947769.jpg)
Maybe I'll soon get fed up with making these ;) ;) ;)
A small but select offering on the gallery this week then, it must be because its half term. I have something to add to the gorgeousness on here. Apologies if you have seen them elsewhere.

OOh shall I start it off? Never posted in the gallery before, mods please amend anything I've done wrong! I've been playing with silver glass, first time I've really practised. Most of these are Clio, some Dalai Lama, & a couple of odds of I don't know what. All different shapes - nuggets, BHB's, doughnuts etc. I'm pleased with the colours - need to focus on colour AND shape next!

So many wonderful beads here, and the fused glass dish is really great! I would love to try and make something like that! The flowers on Your beads Madeline is so beautiful, Im going to save the Picture so I can try to figure out how you made them! And the petal beads, oohh they are so Perfect! Really good looking lentil beads, really like the colours, and the Fish is so cute!
I had a go at my New bead press this weekend and tried the second largest press that makes 35 mm lentils. This is one of the beads I made and I made a focal bead of it.

You can't tell in the picture but the rose brooch is a Pr. Ornela pink which has been gold fumed.
Fantastic shade of pink Alison :)
A sterling silver bracelet made with some of my urchin beads.

Lovely beads!!
I am working on my Christmas table decorations. It is not finished but it is a start.
(http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5526/10925656473_09832babc2_z.jpg)
Lovely work, love the twisted murrini Kaz.
Here is a work in progress-I can feel an addiction to hollows coming on!
This is my first go, after having the mandrel for probably 3 years and being too scared to give it a blow! Not perfect, but SO excited at all the possibilities!

Happily spent a while torching today. I did not injure myself or burn/melt anything I shouldn't. Unless you count the pencil, but I was improvising a poke stick to make a bubble and caught the wood.
Anyways, some guff produced and at least one to be proud of! Frankly, quite a result!

Had a productive weekend - have grouped the pics due to being a technological dimwit today and struggling to get the individual ones up and working...

Love the dotties Kaz, and the hollows. I can't seem to manage small hollows, these are rather large! I could probably keep goldfish in the green one!
Anyway, from my two hollow mandrels-two hollow beads. Also a silver glass focal with nice colours.

I've been fusing again. This is a 16 X 16 cm dish I've made for a 60th birthday present for our neighbour and friend. There are only 3 houses where we live, so it's nice to have good neighbours, and she loves my glass!

The photos aren't terribly good, sorry. I took them yesterday afternoon when the sun was out, but I think it was a bit late in the day!
This is a soap dish the same lady asked me to make for her to give a friend of hers for Christmas. He likes black and silver.

This bauble has some colour, (http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1426/5604171/11984392/408257006.jpg)
I made 4 small globes at Di's class. They are all about 1 inch in diameter and were difficult to photograph so I took photos looking down on their tops.
(http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1426/5604171/11984392/408257955.jpg) (http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1426/5604171/11984392/408257957.jpg) (http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1426/5604171/11984392/408257958.jpg) (http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1426/5604171/11984392/408257959.jpg)
In the first and third ones, you can see some of Di's snowflake murrini which we attempted in the class. I've yet to see what my ones look like. The second one, I wanted to experiment by trapping a large air bubble to see what it would look like and whether it would cause the dome to crack.The 4th one, I changed the plane of the coloured layer by mistake but still carried on with the dome. It was well worth the playing as I feel more confident about changing punties in order to finalise the round shapes and would like to experiment with larger domes containing inclusions. Baby steps.
I can't believe no one has started a new gallery so here's the next bauble, (http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1426/5604171/11984392/408265334.jpg)
It was made with transparent Spectrum red waterglass which has gone opaque in the flame. I also mixed in some clear waterglass.
I like the twisty marble Pat!
I keep wanting to have another go at marbles, not made any for years!
however, I have been busy instead making polar bears, chickens and penguins!

PS where is everybody????!!!!
Very quiet this week, everyone must be busy with pre Christmas things.
Love the chocolate bauble Pat, it really does look like something nice to lick!
Fabulous Madeline, love the polar bear specially.
I don't often post to the gallery any more, mostly as I don't seem to get time to take photos, but although I am supposed to be getting stock levels up of beads, I have developed rather a marble (well boro generally) obsession and treated myself to a couple of hours marble making yesterday. Can't seem to get good photos, but the light today of course is rubbish and I need to find/make some marble stands. But a couple of things that came out of the kiln this morning (including a mushroom pendant, I love love love making these too!).
Biggest marble I have made so far, all of 25mm!!!!! ;)

Another bauble, with a scrap of twistie around it. (http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1426/5604171/11984392/408280113.jpg)
It's a struggle to get pictures at this time of year!
I made these mini floral pendants

Popped another one in, as it is quiet.
My first attempt at Boro off mandrel work.

I found another small stash of float ( window glass) cut into strips so decided to use it up with some float frit to make some simple marbles.(http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1426/5604171/11984392/408300117.jpg)
I've found that it's one of the benefits of doing a class like Di's recent one, it gives you more confidence to handle larger amounts of hot glass. I even managed to stop them rolling out of the bead door. I must have the kiln on a slight foreward slope.
A first first-start for me. Still practising hollows, and other stuff.

During the quiet times at my recent craft fair I got to make some new pieces.

Thanks to everyone on the Forum, you are all so generous with your ideas, and help.
I've made this for my Friend in Saudi Arabia, hopefully customs will not stop it going through. There are a few more Glass Stars to go on it, they are cooling in the kiln

Happy Christmas to you all :)
A couple more baubles. (http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1426/5604171/11984392/408350082.jpg) This one has a very badly shaped neck so I'll try to rectify it, hopefully without destroying the bauble. This next one is not too bad, (http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1426/5604171/11984392/408350081.jpg) Both are sitting on clear rings of glass for now.
I foolishly mentioned to a friend that I was thinking of making a glass robin so made an attempt this morning. His tail and wings need more work but I'm posting anyway and hope to change his rear at some stage. I initially made the wing area too large and had to cut some of the molten glass off hence the odd shape to the end of the wing area and tail.
(http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1426/5604171/11984392/408367434.jpg) (http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1426/5604171/11984392/408367435.jpg)
I have to mention that the idea of putting a bird on a stand came from Sal's work putting seagulls on to Cornish pasties.
Making slow progress with the marbles,(http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1426/5604171/11984392/408413728.jpg) I used Bullseye for this as I was waiting for a delivery of Reichenbach clear.
I love to see how folk progress, Pat-you must be really pleased.
Here are a couple of sets from me. I don't often do sets.
