I am in awe!! So many different, gorgeous beadies on here!! I have hardly been able to torch, and certainly not produced anything like shown before in this thread, but as you are all so kind I'll show anyway 

Had a bit of play with faux boro, long time since I had a go at that:

And here's a simple set with silver foil and Beadysam's gorgeous frit:

Love that top Goddess Maikki, is it not boro then?

Beautiful silvery fritness Julie, and the bunkees are fantastic, specially etched!

Thank you... the colours and design are lifted straight from the tute tho, so I can't take credit for that...

Ooh interesting Les, so I could (try to) make one just like it if I bought the tut ... 

I had some more silvery fun last night. I tried Aurae on opal yellow - its fantastic but almost impossible to photograph, honestly!

So I'll just show you my favourite bead ever (for now) instead then I'll go and stroke it some more

Love those goddesses, I'm going to try them one day. 

I've been making black and pink and pink and turquoise encased.  I'm very pleased as I don't do much encasing and these went really well for me.  The pink is much nicer in real life, its cim gelly sty.



And closer up in two parts, I really like the stripy ones.

I've got new glasses and it's like 'Ulrika I can see' Some of you have been amused with my Heath Robinson glasses in the past so I've had the optician make up some special readers with an extra magnifying lense and they're great.  So, this week I've done some dots

Sorry about the reflections Meant to add - it's Bullseye glass but I can't remember the colours - sorry

PS - I LOVE those monkees (they make me grin ) and those pendants are gorgeous - thanks for using my ribbons - too many gorgeous things to comments on individually - I'll say it again - those Show and Tells just keep getting better

I hope you don't mind me starting this thread but I know several people have bought Jo's lovely Mojo Boxes and instead of just 'drooling' over mine which I was very tempted to do because they are soooo pretty I bit the bullet and used some of the elements in a couple of focals.  These were just a play session and I had fun.

On this one I used that ED purple on the bottom part and for the little ones and ink blue on the top with just a little of the shards, some shardfetti and some twisty over just a tiny bit of silver foil.
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sowzere/3371950161></a>
This one was a dark blue effetre again over the ED purple (I had it lying around) with some silvered shards I already had from Jo with more shardfetti from the box - bit of swirling with the twisty and dots of the stringer and a little silver foil.

These are two large 25mm focals and it looks as though there's nothing missing from the box.  Can't wait to make some more now that I've got my new specs
My mojo box was the purpley one - sorry I am hopeless with names
Please excuse the reflections I took these in the conservatory/junk room.

I've showed you mine - can I see yours now please

Lovely Diane  - I have the Southern Belle box and have just used the shards and a couple of murrini so far - the messy twisty is mine - I just gently melted the shards on an added a few twists

[SueP]

Yep as Diane says but I put the shard on at the tip of the flame - Jolene has a tips sheet on her stite which I found useful

A couple more this time etched except the murrini on the right





shards are framed with my messy twistie on right and a red copper green stringer on left ( when looking at top pic)

Lovely beads Lesley - fingers crossed for the electroforming.

A few new ones from me - I think I must have spring fever:

Definitely a bit of a blue thing going on - blame those new CIM colours!

Blimey!! Beautiful beads - what an amazing start!

Stunning beads as ever Lesley - I really like the bead at the bottom . I love the colours in your beads Diane - a really nice spring feel to them, and I adore that bee!! Sue - your beads make me want to give these shards a go. I havent a clue what to do with them though lol! I love your flower beads Kathy - I think I'd make them all the time if I could make them like you do. Kaz- I'm always amazed at how you find the time. I think you need to give me a shot of your cloning machine! Great sets as ever - and your style is so recognisable and distinctive! Les - I am loving your beads I have been droolng over that little bird you showed in another show and tell! ALso really like the photos!! Love em all!

Here are some from me - these take me donkeys - this set is an accumilation of alot of hours at the torch - I have named them "Ruby Jewels" and they are for me to use in my bead rings
