Hello,

These are the first beads I've made in a while so I hope nobody minds me starting this week's thread.

Can't wait to see what you've made!

You've heard of a square peg in a round hole. Here's a square bead with a round hole.

Mouthwatering colours Kathy and Pat!
I had an oopsie with a couple of my cab pendants - I dropped them and the bails sheared off. So, with Julie Lush's encouragement and cab slumping programme, I put them in the kiln and they came out as lovely smooth and very flat cabochons! I am going to make some more deliberately as I think they'd be really good for seed beading or for setting in silver.

Wow what a lovely start to the week.  I have a couple of focals to offer to the mix.  The first one features some of Kaz's murrini (so glad I tidied my glassy draw I found all sorts!).

Kathryn, loving your spring flowers, they are just so fresh looking and Gaysie that focal is just gorgeous!

I have been making silver glass murrini again, really pleased with the "ghostly" effect that I managed to achieve.   





I've also been enjoying mixing various silver glasses together and seeing what comes out of the flame when reduced and encased, never ceases to excite me! 



This one sold on eBay on Saturday night....



And lastly, inspired by Helen's absolutely amazing and wonderful bumpy beads, I thought that I would practice making bigger beads with bumps, crikey its harder than you think it is!!!!



Sorry for the hog guys!   Hope you all have a great week.

So many gorgeous beads, but I absolutely adore the first one of Gays. So fresh and yummy!
Lovely Lillies.

I made some sets...

And more hearts...


And attempted a chaos tutorial, but created grungy chaos 


Oops!

Gorgeous beads this week. I have a wedding set to show. It took me ages to get the colours right, as the bride wanted forget me knots as the little flowers. Anyway, I'm pleased with it, and most importantly so is she!

Love the lillies, can't see any of the other new photo's for some reason  

These are some new style (for me) bumpies, I think they look like 60's/70's tiles and lino flooring. I have more in the same style in the kiln

Following on from my foray into wire trees, I decided to go one step further and this was the result

I know you don't get differently coloured leaves or different flowers on the same branch but it pleased me.

Beautiful beads and other glassy things this week  

I had the idea for these beads a while back, but couldn't find any black and white murrini anywhere...luckily, both Kaz and Linda (Spexy) jumped to my rescue and the result is this set. I'm so, so pleased with them

As it's Mothers Day today, I made a red rose,

for all the mothers out there whose husbands/partners have forgotten to get their young children organised for a Mothers Day card/present/bunch of flowers.

Haven't had much time to browse the gallery recently but have just had a good look through some really beautiful work thank you for sharing.  I just love that Jupiter bead the colours in that are so beautiful, Helen we all LOVE your bumpies and Pat those flowers are awesome and loving that pink Studio Girl.  I have been playing with a few designs but keep going back to the big necklace beads I make....here is the latest batch
