Thanks all for the lurvely comments!

Great piece Dawn, it looks large - is it a wall hanging?
Very nice little beads Babyshoes, your heat control looks very good and your dots are beautifully placed!
WOW Helen, gorgeous, hard pushed to pick a favourite, but if I had to - I love the cubes and the firey wigwag ones! LUSH!
They ARE gorgeous goddesses Donna - real women!
Beautiful little headpins Linda and I love the beach house and sailing boat, the colours are lovely!
Love those Karen, especially the yellow one!
Lovely lovely disks Helen and I love the names!

It's a stunning week so far!

Ooooo, Helen. I love those discs, particularly Leith junkyard, but part of that is my memories of Leith!!!!

Great piece Dawn, it looks large - is it a wall hanging?

Thanks Steph, it was actually a free standing panel the customer wanted, it stands on the two little metal feet.  It stands fully upright, not leaning.

I am thinking of making another but slumping that into a wave form.


I haven't had chance to look at the gallery in ages, I am enjoying the eye candy!

Haven't popped in here for ages..........I feel like a newbee. What a gorgeous selection of beads. I particularly like Linda's beach beads, so summery and Steph's swirl beads and.........well all of them actually.

[Josephine]

Gorgeous work here. I love the headpins and the discs.

Some shells from me.

Beautiful set Kathy and I love that beautiful long focal bead necklace, definately reminds me of summer.

I bought a new ribbed roller at Flame Off


Ribbed ovals by Earthshine Lampwork Bead and Jewellery Design, on Flickr

and I made a couple of sailboat beads - still experimenting with colours. I got my press back from a friend I lent it to and made some seashells too but nothing as good as yours Josephine.

There is a real summery air to the gallery this week. And so much eye candy.
Love the retro beads so much. FAB colours!

I love retro patterns so I thought I would try to make some beads in true retro style ... first attempt, so hoping the next one will be much better ...

Wow! that is so vibrant.

I made a couple of large ring beads. Not even slightly bright I'm afraid.

The top one is copper green, heavily bicarbed and then scrubbed hard, and the other is bicarbed silver black.

Shall I begin?

I've been mostly practising encased flower beads - it must be that time of year again!

Sometimes just plain and simple works! I love that blue (Gaffer's light aqua from Beadbug!)

Love the hearts, that's a gorgeous blue 

I've been playing with Gaffer, too...just clear, silver foil and chalcedony. I *adore* this set!

Wow - what a fabbie start.  Love the florals Kaz especially that top set so bright and cheerful.  Amber those are gorgeous.  Love your butterfly in a jar Trudi - have you tried a fish yet - we always take a jam jar on string to keep our minnows in!  

I have been playing with shards since I got back from FO:
