I felt like going back to the good old silvered ivory, and this is one of the results. 32mm across, using one of Maria-Louisa's presses.

Lovely swirls! You can see it well in the last piccie.
I have a bit of ekho (thank you for sharing

) and I love the purple - it's a very transparent pearly colour like aurae, shows what's underneath, whereas triton etc give a more heavy coverage.

not the best bead but shows the colour well..

I was making beads yesterday when the postman arrived with my new bead press, it is a large tab press.

So I made these.

Hard to get all the colours in the photo.

More beautiful beads

I'm liking your eckho Kathryn - I'm trying so hard to be good and stay away from it as I have so many things on my list to try but it is definitely calling to me

I have these - more shards and twisities

Here's today's efforts, apologies if you saw this focal, but I'm quite pleased with it! All Ekho, I'll go back to something else soon, just having fun with it for now

I ordered some Ekho too and waiting for it even more, when I see pics like these...

My torch time have been next to nothing this summer, but this week I have made beads! Here are couple of them. I used presses from Maria Louisa and the bigger one is huge: about 45 mm. It takes some time and glass, but then you have plenty of canvas to decorate! I like it (the press).

I have been playing with Bullseye reactions this week (glasses containing lead or copper against those containing sulphur or selenium):

Rushed the photos a bit, as I wanted to get them back in the kiln and fuse some bails on.

Some really CORRRRR!!!!!!! Beads here again this week! So much to drool over!

I tried making beads this week, but after the 9th one got bored of trying to make them all look the same and thought I'd 'quickly make a small marble.' An hour and half later I'd done with 30mm marble (probably biggest I've done so far)

I made these on Friday.

This is a whole rod of silvered ivory encased in a bit of clear.
