I have been back to the beach this week!!!

and I was really pleased with this one - what I would call semi encased i.e. silver glass, transparent and silver foil with clear but a bit swirled in so that there are some silver glass and silver streaks on the surface as well as encased

I love those noughts and crosses beads and those little creatures.

I have some more stones in a new shape,

   

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

[Lush!]

I've been playing with colours and shapes again.  This huge set is threaded onto memory wire.

Luffly start to the week chaps!

Here's a few from me.

I'm still enjoying making and playing with twisties made of Clio, Kalypso and Sasha's Silver - some of the pinks and purples can be amazing.....

A couple of tie-dye bits from me (apologies if anyone's already seen these elsewhere!)...

[Pat from Canvey]

Lovely beadies so far. Just to show that I sometimes make beads other than sculptural


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

and re-testing some frits blends in advance of the re-launch - I had forgotten how much I enjoyed making encased frit beads with a silver foil base

Great photos and beads this week....

Helen, the Zen set is LOVELY!!!

Sue, Ditto to what Becky said 

Julie, everytime I see that bicone I'm speechless!

Becky, tic tac toe...love it!

Kaz, your beads make me homesick for Florida....

Oh I hate to leave anyone out!  They are all so nice!!!!

I'm going to stop here and post one that will stay with me.  It cracked while I was making it and as a result there are two very small air bubbles in it.  Sigh.....still I can keep it and enjoy it and you folks are the only ones see it so far.

Dean- Hugs and lots of luck with the sales I love them and your sign is killer!!!!
Sarah- I just almost licked the screen! I definitely love those beads they remind me of blueberries!!
Ciel- HOLY COW I think I just  dropped my jaw!!!! I love that first set!
