Lovely beads so far!
Here's a selection from me from this week's makes:

Those bees are adorable, and the flowers are lovely, very spring-like.

Yeah, I know, this is really last week's work, and I wore it at Flame Off, but I still need to show off, so I hope people don't mind...

[MangoBeads]

Regis - I think I'm in love - all your beads are beautiful but that last set - magical.
Manda - can I join the queue to rehome your broken beads?  They are so gorgeous - love, love, love the colour - especially the bottom right - did you cry?  I would have.
Denise love the character you get into your owls.
Ciel - those are so pretty and delicate.

Here are a few of my latest beads - trying to find a darker skin tone - think I have sorted it.

Fab gallery this week!

Love the bees, the owl, the scrolls, the ladies wot lunch and the harlequin cabs (cracked or not!!) but particularly love all of Magma's beads - just stunning 

I'm about to lower the tone somewhat...............managed an afternoon at the torch this week following Helen G's class at Flame Off so made these. They are far from perfect and in fact are all a little squint (they looked better before I removed the mandrels  ) but I'm inordinately proud of them for a first attempt

With apologies for the Instagram grainy-ness, these are the start of a commission and have blown handles, which I'm really, really chuffed to have done  They're about 3 1/2cm across, which is possibly also the widest I've done to date.

As always, Kathy, I love those florals!

My bank holiday Friday: hours and hours and hours of torching, most of it with Radio 4 in the background. I win.
I've been playing with my Flame Off shopping, including my new toy, as demonstrated here. Also, I managed to get my nemesis, Purple Rose, to behave at least a bit.

Trudi, Arabian Nights.......WOW......made me drool!!!

Here's a few from me. The 2 focal beads both have a newly discovered mica glitter in them, it's super glittery & I love it!!!

It's ages since I've visited this gallery for a good drool over everyone's work!  I'll add some of my own and then trawl back through the other galleries I've missed...

As usual, the winter meant I haven't made much in months but I did manage to make some pretties in my kiln

These are the beads I've made since Flame Off. I've been trying to practice what I learned in J C Herrel's class and from the demos.
