Ohh lovin the crackle ones!!

And copper shards - very tasty!!

I've been playing with my round marver - and I'm liking it!

[Shirley]

Really like the middle set, Sam. Am thinking apricot jam - yum

That copper is really effective, Steff. Very unusual too.

Nice and bright, Trudi!

I thought i needed to start getting serious about practising my stringer and dots and getting a bit more precise. Here are the best ones so far

Great beads on show already I especially love the copper shards.

My beads have been a bit fruity of late

A few focals from me

[Stacy]

I love that first one Kate (your doing that thing again that I can't!!  )
Vic, those purpley ones look brill, I love the colour you have got from that and the striations!

I seem to hardly ever post and then when I do I do it in bunches.. LOL!
Heres some more that I have been playing with.. I've been working on a different kind of project at the moment so haven't had a lot of time to work at the torch so making these was fun although there is nothing spectacular here. I only worked out on the last one (the red one) that my stringer needed to be a bit thinner to look halfway decent.

Some gorgeous beads on here already this week - I love the berries and Kate's focals in particular but all of them are great!
I have only had a few hours at the torch in the last two weeks but here's what I have been up to:

Practising those star beads like mad:


Some beads for a commission


Lizardskin focal lentils


Not perfect but tweet


Where's my string gone in the move?

Here's a little set:

[One Key Beads]

I don't post on here very much, but I do check in regularly.  As always fab work, espesh Sams berries.  They are so realistic and lush.

At Stourbridge on Sunday, I promised Kate (sublime) that I would show a couple of goddessess I'd just made.  It's taken me 'till now to work out how to post them, but here are my Foxy Ladies (because Hendrix was playing this on the radio as the pink one went into the kiln).






Mods, sorry if the piccies are too big, please sort me out if necessary - thanks.

I just love Van Gogh's Sunflower paintings, this is my latest attempt, nearly got it I think, this bead is so bright and I am in love with it at the moment (Sometimes I think I am nutty, rest of the time I know I am)

Front and back

[Bumpy Beads]

There is some fab work here this week. I love the Van Gogh sunflower bead Lesley.

Becky what a great start to this weeks show and tell, your dragonfly is so delicate I love it.
Vic and Helen I admire your ability to make sets especially dotted ones as I never make 2 beads the same size. 
Dawn looking forward to seeing more of your beads this week but can we please have them a bit bigger (old eyes)
Karen loving the wave beads.

My daughter got me to make some small goddesses as she wants a charm bracelet with some on. These are from just over 1cm -2.5cm
