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.

So many beautiful beads this week.

Here is a finished jewellery set with my beads. I have been playing with cim colours.

Here are some close ups.

The button has a problem with two of the dots joining up. Grrrrr. more ppp required.

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,

The release also broke at the last minute too.

Fruddy · June 11, 2011, 02:12:57 PM

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...

And a couple of others.....

I LOVE Rachel's BHB and obviously Christina's really funky beads

And Justmade (sorry I don't know your name) WOW. Ridiculous talent there- beautiful, I hope you charge a fortune for them!!

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

Morning all!
These just came out of the kiln from Suzannes tutorial! It is such a fab tut, has improved my confidence with stringer control a lot! These are my first 2 sets with it, cant wait to make more later!
Sorry about the pics, my camera's white balance has gone a bit funky $:-\$

(the copper green on this has gone a bit silvery, can I fix that by soaking them in coke?)

Had a lovely weekend on and off making beads. More on than off

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.
