Dee Dee, those quilled beads are stunning!

I recently had a commission order, here's a couple of quick snaps I took before it went off to the customer:

Love those MCD ones

[babyshoes]

Quite pleased with how these two came out - still beginner beads, but I am starting to like some of what I make! Made last week, photographed yesterday.

Those are nice. Wish my dots would turn out so neat. Lovely work so far in the gallery

Steph, as always, your work is to die for.  I just love the precision of your inner depth beads.
Dawn - stunning work - love the way that catches the light and sparkles like mad!
Babyshoes - you are doing great! I love the colours in the blue and green one in particular and your dot work looks good and precise.

I've been a bit busy since FO, so forgive the little hoglet!

These were actually made on the torches at Flame Off, but annealed when I got home.   Think I've finally got the hang of Jennie's Swirl tut, and the donuts were made from a wigwag I made:

Focal made with the posh mashers that Sarah Brown is to blame for me buying   This is so much sparklier in real life, got foil and dichro in it:

Some more wigwag beads  (I am a bit addicted):

Whooot Whooooooooooooooooot!!!!  Go Helen.....those swirlys are FAB!!  You certainly did get the hang of them there will be no stopping you now!!  Great Beads from everyone....... particularly like your multi/quill beads Steph they are gorgeous.

Thanks Jennie, it's taken me FOREVER to figure out how to swirl without breaking the bead release all the time!  They go nicely with wigwag beads too, which is handy as I'm addicted to them!

Lovely beads, I seem to have acquired Sarah's "posh mashers" I wonder if she'll notice if I remove them from the box before returning  

[helbels]

The stupid thing is that I've never had the urge to mash anything in my life before Sarah mentioned them, and then it was like "I have to have them"!

[Ciel]

These are stunning beads!

I think I'm going to have to write a tutorial - just need some extra time!

Lovely beads so far this week. Yummy swirls Helen and Steph.
I'm so proud of this pair I'm afraid I've posted them in here as well as my original thread  The brief was a 2" Goddess with big droopy boobs, hopefully they both fit the bill 
They are huge (for me), although that just doesn't show in the picture

Fab as usual Steph and they are all brillant Helen.

Di brought my beads that I made with Marshall Hyde to Flame Off for me. I'm really pleased with how they came out.

This is the bead I made at Leah Fairbanks class

Wowzers Linda - those beach hut and sailboat beads are just amazing!!! Shame about the crack, but you'll know what to do next time.  Your Leah bead is great too... nice work.

Donna, love the saggy boobs - its a bit like looking in the mirror
