I especially love that last set Kaz, fantastic colours!
Great murrini Helen..amazing for a first try, you must make more!
That's a stunning lentil bead Rita, and Trudi's union jack ones are great too.

I only have one rod of maraschino as yet so I am using it sparingly, it's such a gorgeous colour. And although still not perfect, my encasing has definitely improved since upgrading to a minor a few months ago!

Hi all,
I am posting this pic as I am quite pleased with this colour option, and it is the first time I have tried this type of bead. Wondering if anyone has had good results with different colour options? I found the ordered method of making the bead produced similar sized results - result!! Ideal for earrings. Has anyone tried them with double helix? Also has anyone got advice about encasing symmetrical designs without slippage? Every time I try, my design moves in the encasing process, despite my best efforts.

Where is everybody?! I'll start then

Effetre Earth is my new favourite glass...I love it!

a lovely lady made a gift of some vetro clear to me at the Flame Off so i had a play with it - i like the bubbles but I will practice more so as to make some beads without them but in this case i think they add to the overall look - the green is great bluedini - living up to its name

the spirals will be earings once cleaned, going to play with this shape a bit more, when it gets made up into jewellery we will use copper chain and with multiple twisted copper wire up the centre of the spirals to mimic the glass shape

Love those spirals!

I think I am ever so slightly in love with Raku frit
