Is anyone still there?
Here's some wintery leaves I made, using this easy and effective tutorial from "Bobby" on Lampwork Etc:

I'm still here. Those are very pretty. Are you going to make them into something?
I'm still here - Happy New Year to you all !
Love those Moira so delicate and pretty !
I'm hoping to get back in my shedio as soon as I've shifted this snotty cold :(
I'm here as well. Love those leaves, I have had a look at the tutorial and may have a go!
I am still here as well. I am doing a variation on the 40 bead challenge to rebuild my skills. 20 bead challenge x 2 . Then I am going to try to make 20 matching beads in size and design but each in a different colour combination. I am also going to make a sample bead in each colour that I have. Some I have had for years and never used.
In addition I am going to relearn how to post photos on here.
That's the plan!

Lovely leaves! I have made them directly onto wire before, but it's so hard not to melt it; might well have a go at that way soon.
I have forced myself to do my accounts this afternoon, so playtime definitely due tomorrow.
I'm here too! I love your leaves Moira - my skills won't stretch beyond basic beads yet, but maybe one day? Happy New Year everybody.
I'm here too. Waiting for the thaw to get into my shed. Love the leaves. Intend to post this year
I'm here too, just got back late last night!
Lovely leaves, Moira, love the colours.
Lovely leaves Moira. happy new year to all

They are lovely Moira! Fluorite colouring. I've been sidelined by family matters, teaching myself silversmithing, and linocutting. Will get back to beads soon! 8)
Happy new year all xx
gorgeous leaves
sorry late too the party as usual
Thanks, everyone!
I've just finished making a necklace with them. :)
Oh that's really pretty! Did you thread on to the ribbon or join the ribbon on?

Lovely!
Thanks! Here's a better picture which should show how I did it better. (Memo to self, work looks better on a mannequin than on a grubby sheet of kitchen roll ::). Marketing really isn't my strong point...)
I made the leaves and flowers on stainless steel wire, then coiled the wire. Then made the large hole beads to match. I sewed a length of silk to make a tube, then fed 4 lengths of cotton string down it to make a sturdy support. Then threaded everything on, and attached fastenings made in the same wire.
It's nice because you can position the flowers and leaves as you like, they grip the support quite well.
