Great start Dean - well done on achieving that large lentil on a HH - hope it survived. Lyn - those ribbon bead sets are lovely.
A few focals from me this week - first two are 32mm diameter and the last 38mm.

Dean! What a *fabulous* bead!

Lyn - love the red set and the heart and the orange and purple ones - lovely colour combos!
Diane - love them all but especially the Final Frontier

I'm starting a bit earlier this week so that come SUnday, I don't end up with a load of pics at once!

Lovely start to the week. Dean, that is such a shame, but I think a bead that large was doomed when it hit the bubbles! Would you like to borrow something smaller?

I had a kiln full this morning, but this was the brightest, happiest of them all!

A few from me so far

I was really pleased when I got these out of the kiln yesterday. I have "discovered" great bluedini - it is like the green/blue version of rubino!

Here's a few from me

and my first attempt at a horse

Of course it had to be a green horse and it's eyes are a bit bulgy but it can only improve.

Hi Faith - I usually start off with a plan but I get side tracked and see where it takes me.

Not looked through the whole thread yet (I haven't looked at the gallery for weeks!!) but I do love Blackwaterfoot Helen.

No beads from me, but I have just delivered these two pieces to Sculpture in the Sanctuary:

A freestanding bespoke metal structure with five glass panels staged in a spiral

And 3 clear panels in natural wood stand:

TheJanie · July 19, 2011, 10:44:23 PM

Gah! I typed a load of praise for all these yummy beads... then my browser crashed

Haven't the brainpower left to start again, sorry! I do have to say, though... Dawn, I love the sculpture... and Rachel, those BHBs of yours... WOW!

I have this to offer tonight...

Red Dragon · July 20, 2011, 12:09:02 PM

All that I have got to say is there is so much talent out there it's awesome.

But I must say I do especially like Helen's, Kaz's, Lorna's and Rachels BHB.
At the request of my wife Dianne (http://butterflies-and-bees.blogspot.com/)who is into papercraft and knitting and material crafts, and lurvs buttons

I bought Lush Julies Button tool and tut this week and these are my first button efforts:-

We have to have one with a wonkey eye, it's her favourite

And I played with bludini on ivory and terra 2 dots

Helen G · July 20, 2011, 12:15:47 PM

well, where do I start? They really are soooo many gorgeous beads this week I can't pick a favourite

This is a bit different for me just because of the size but I do like it and am loving Helios as I finally treated myself to some

Nikki · July 20, 2011, 04:17:23 PM

a few from me I just hope I got the photo size right this time!

pixiewillow · July 20, 2011, 05:10:56 PM

Mucho gorgeousness, fab toppers Lorna!

I made some more too, spurred on by George's new adjustable ring. The five along the bottom are toppers, the rest are lentils and buttons!
