Gosh, some beautiful work this week - loving the colours Sin, everyone's work is so nice - sorry if I haven't mentioned you all.
Plain Jane Chain from me this week - no colours - but set myself a challenge to make a glass chain. Hope you like.

Sal I love love love that chain brilliant!  Helen that Moscow set is stunning the colours are perfect, Kay....what can I say I am in awe of you guys who can produce these identical beads!  Loving all the colours this week....great Gallery!  The sunshine is infecting us all with colour.  I have been doing a few Glass Wheels this week, all in the region of 5cm in diameter with a 10mm core   I have also been playing with the bright flat organic beads with bright colours, I have used colours that react and blur to try and achieve a cartoon style appearance to the bead....they are such fun to make!

Lots of really beautiful work here. I love your flowers Sin and your discs Helen and Kay. Stunning work Tan

I've made some earrings and a pendant with some glass cabs.

I had a stick of ossa delivered this week. I'm liking it, very different to the rest.

Beautiful work so far. Too many great beads to mention. Here's one I made a couple of days ago. Not as good as Jennie's glass wheels but I am improving a little so I'm pleased with this.

I got some good colours out of silver glass the last time I torched (I got some quite naff colours as well, but the least said about those beads the better), particularly happy with this small focal, goldstone sort of all through it giving it a sparkle. And this set of beads are amazing (being modest here), the psyche frit has gone a lovely metallic under the encasing (I usually just get blue or purple, not metallic colours when I encase) but they're full of bubbles that I have no idea how they got there but they sparkle like blazes (pretty sure it's not goldstone).

I like both sets Helen, really nice.
I've done some more earrings with cabs and some with pearls.

The pearl ones are domed, which doesn't show very well in the photo, and the antiquing has gone quite blue which also doesn't really show in the photo.

Lovely work everyone, stunning cabs, fab discs (remind me of fruit gums) gorgeous colour in the striking glass and lovely dainty earrings 

I have a carousel to show.

Great headpins Heather - love the purple ones particularly!
Beautiful lentils Gaynor -the bottom one is particularly lovely!

A new firey heart from me - this one is a bit of an experiment! My original concept for my Heart's on Fire beads, was inside the heart of stone there is a fire burning. This one concentrates a bit more on the stone - I was trying to recreate a rocky texture...

Chipperpottery (is it Rita? Not sure, so sorry if I'm wrong) - your silver work just keeps getting better.

I just thought I'd pop these here as they show some of the new Effetre colours:  Wood, Marc, Turquoise Grey Pastel and Antique Green Pastel (plus there's some CIM Glacier and Effetre Baby Pink thrown in:
