It's been a while, about a year what with baba and moving but I am finally back! I had a couple of uninterrupted hours with my torch last night and these came out! Well chuffed!

Pony pic but took it on my phone!

Ivory, SIS, trans blue, sky blue and a couple of JoJo's Murrini.

Helen, they're fantastic!!! Thanks for starting a newbie S&T - I was a bit daunted about posting with the 'big kids'!!!

A few beadies from me:

Scared to use my shards at the moment, so had a bash witha few tiny pieces from my lovely shardfetti (from Jolene)

Set for my Mum:

Arggh, sorry for size of pics - photobucket says they are all same size as mum's set...but....

Edited again to say -

pics have resized...??

I have gone a bit potty about turquoise, purple and coral. I made these on Monday.

Made some more purpley coloured beads today as well.

Here are a couple of focals from me.

That bottom one really looks as if it is staring at you Lorna.

Another cute birdie Les.

Very clever Tan. I love hollows. Now, I have enough problem getting bead release out of hollows..... so how do you get the bead release out of the beads inside the hollow?

I have been trying for a while to get the hang of blowing shards. I'm really pleased with these beads that I made with my best shards so far, Triton shards on black.

I don't often make seed beaded jewellery, but I just wanted to share this..... sorry the pic isn't great.... it's dark now.

So sorry not to have time to compliment all those lovely beads in the gallery of this week! Very yammy all of them!!!
Yesterday I found this one in my kiln (after weeks of being without any inspiration at all) and I was quite pleased with it:

Now I'm off to my mother-in-law, who's having her 81st (!!!) birthday today!

Josephine · April 11, 2009, 02:31:16 PM

One from me. My daughter suggested I call it 'Lava Lamp', I went with Firestorm instead but I can see what she meant.

Love the bracelet Les, very original. Pretty sparkly bead Kaatje. Those are nicely done Sam, look forward to seeing more.

Lush! · April 11, 2009, 05:35:11 PM

Oh yes Lava Lamp is a great name for it!

Love the way you've used the cat there Les, and that is a gorgeous bead Kaatje, so much going on!

I made 3 rainbow petal beads last night, I'm dead chuffed with this first one, the other two turned out rubbish.

and this one is a keeper too

Sorry bit of a mouthful of a title

Not long to go now girls, better get my act together.

Me to start then

Steampunkglass · April 12, 2009, 05:15:52 PM

Love the second one Lesley!

People have implied I have lost my marbles, but as you can see I have been making a few this weekend, largest is about 20mm, most are around 16mm. Please excuse the hog!

Most I put sprials inside,

but this one I went all nebula
