I have FINALLY managed to get my head around consistent encasing ... it's only taken me about 10 years 

There's still hope for me then, do I have to keep practicing or will I just wake up one morning and boom! 

[Les]

Heh ... well I have to admit to it just coming together this time around. I've lost count of the number of previous sessions that ended up in the jug of watery doom

[Les]

Oh and here's one more bead ... It's a dread bead ...

Fantastic beads everyone!

Les, congratulations for the encasing!

[Les]

Hehe ... *takes a bow* ... thank you Kathy !

Lovely beads - especially those silver black hearts - gorgeous!

A couple of tree beads and sets from me this week.  The question is, is it a squirrel or a fox below?

[DementedMagpie]

A bit of a "cute critter" theme going on this week, I keep going "awwww, those eyes"

Nothing of the sort from me. I have two boxes of bits of bottle glass; one has been used for a few things already, and the other was a bit neglected, so I thought I'd set this right.



I just realised there's an alcohol theme here: the dark green transparent beads used to be a cider bottle, and the spacers are Dirty Martini.

Some lovely beads this week everyone.

This week I'm still playing with my new minor so I've been replaying lots of ideas I had on the hothead.

Secondly I've been having a go at replicating Helens superb carousel beads, and I am now even more in awe of the ease at which she makes it looks.

Lovely owls Les, love that purple set Mark.   Well done for trying the carousel beads - I had one go, based on how they look but without actually seeing Helen demo them - didn't come out too bad but I will have another go sometime soon!

Really lovely work, just having a glassy fix as so busy with textile orders at moment no time to melt glass. Fabulous work. Cheers Claire  Xx
