As ever beautiful beads this week, here's a few more from me. The frit used is of course Beady Sams finest! More gold leaf encased rounds and I'm trying to find nice colour combinations of muted colours in the trio set. Must keep on trying...!!

[MyPrecious]

Hiya! I haven't showed much in a while, so here's a little pink set (it's much more pink in reality):

[SueP]

Back with a few more and must say Claire loving your big dotty beads they must take alot of time and patience, Kathy love the pink set  

Some cool kiwi not sure about the cz

Everyone's beads are so good, Rowanberry's in particular. I hardly ever show and tell and I really shouldn't with these cos (shame on me ) the photos are rubbish, but they were done in a hurry (my excuse) as they were a present for my best loved sister in law's birthday, my prezzy got delayed as one of her friends commissioned me to do a huge caracature of her and the family, so that was me ending up making a good percentage of her presents. She specifically requested something in green, and ended up with three pieces of jewellry as I made so many to get them  right I am sick to death of green now. : )

[Steampunkglass]

If you are sick of green I am sure I can find them a new home! They're lovely! In fact it's another great show and tell so now I'm going to ruin it with some unfinished and uncleaned beads!

There is a 5p for scale. The long bead went wrong and bead release broke off inside as I was making it, but typically came out with the best colours! The 'short' one is 76mm long - I am not sure how to tackle cleaning that out yet, I am sure I have something in the shed that long! These are all experimental items for a couple of projects I am working on

Been a while so I must have missed some stunners if these are anything to go by    Good to see you around again, Claire. 

One set from me - Camouflage Jacket

Not shown for a while as been away and when I got back to the torch I really struggled for a good few days but have made up for it since so apologies for the hog!

A little set in effetre teal and amethyst for a lovely lady I met recently 


Similar but leaky pen and amethyst this time


Not sure about this combo of effetre dark pink and reichenbach caramel? Comments appreciated.


And my favourite, classic light ivory and black


I was particularly chuffed with the disc and the dreaded raked dots which as Sal knows have been bugging me!


Hope you all have a good weekend, I'm off to visit the step kids so no more torch for me 

[turnedlight]

Pwhoarr! Lots of fabulousness on here, love the boro Glenn, and the florals, and the pink and caramel is a lovely combo
I have got my heart press (just like Julies), she's right - it's fab

Talking of black and ivory, some from me  

[LesleyMac]

Gorgeous beadies on here I am going back for another look, I am inspired to try black and white again

Couple from me, the second one is sold.

I've been meaning to practise stringer for a while. Am now reasonably successful about 50% of the time. Don't think I've got a viable career in lampworking just yet!

[Jennie Lamb]

Hi everyone, Janey I love the 'underwater feel' those clear and blue beads project beautiful. 

Mostly this weekend I was dreaming and thinking spots which then progressed to uber sputnicks which seem to be getting bigger and bigger HELP may have to buy a larger shed! can't stop making them oh and can't seem to be able to leave the reactive glass alone either lol!

Here are a few to share.  They should be thumbnails if the technology works and they have not been cleaned yet so abit grubby

[Trudi]

super bumpies Jennie - it's something I need to work on!!

Some new ones from me ......





The "streaks" you can see are lines of goldstone for a touch of sparkle!

[Mary]

Great start Janey, Jennie and Trudi!

I've been busy with a Tapestry bead tut, it's fun!

[Blue Kiln Beads]

Some lovely beads so far.  I managed to spend some time in my workshop today, the first time in a long long time!  I decided to use some shards from my MiniMojo box from Jolene that was sent out last month, it was an experimental day:

I then decided to revisit a design I was working on previously

These are pictures that I didn't get around to taking before I had my huge energy slump (thyroid problems).



Ooopppss, are these images too big?  I selected the medim size in Flickr.
