[Ilona]

Beautiful beads again this week.

I have been trying to brighten things up a bit and made these




This last set I am pleased with.

[SueP]

This S&T just gets better and better I especially love the vessel
I've been playing with my heart press:


and some mystic polka dots

[MyPrecious]

I love the second set too!

Here's a photo of my biggest set ever! I don't know if anyone will buy it but it was fun to make.



And another photo of the same set :


It has 27 beads in it, not counting the spacers!

[Karen]

love those hearts Julie did you use a press?


I actually made beads

[sublimekate]

Been practicing hollows which I've never really been able to get to grips with but something clicked this week. I don't know where I'm going with this, but I am going   Coz I really like making them, I'm not sure I've quite got it right but I'm really enjoying making these   Kaz's Murrini btw  

So here they are, murrini encrusted hollows, but should I etch them

I really want to but they took me so long to make I don't want to ruin them, I've done a test bead so you can see what it would look like....

Honest Opinions please. Kate xxx



Some more

A few new bits from me this week!  Loving everything on here so far, these just keep getting better and better

[Ciel]

So many lovely beadies so far!

Here are some leaves I've been working on recently  (same set - different backgrounds/lighting)

[Kalorlo]

Here's what I was doing last week:

CiM spacers with my sample pack


Faux boro


Two faux boro tries - the first is by melting in iris gold frit to a straw yellow rod and winding on directly then encasing, the second is a clear core with a straw yellow with iris gold stringer wound on top, then encased. (You can see some blues if you look at it side-on in person). I was wondering if that would cut down on the cola colour - not so much!

Opalinos and turquoise


Dark turquoise with black stringer - the diamond might need an encounter with some toilet cleaner  . Then we have carnelian, periwinkle and nile green opalinos. Pretty colours!

Flamingo


Light grey trans core, shaped into an oval with diagonal lines of black, anise white and carnelian opalino added, gravity swirled, reshaped and mashed. I'm rather pleased with these

Well, as I haven't got my heart press at the moment and am holding a grooved marver ransom for it these are what came out of the kiln this morning. I forgot to take a photo before making them up though

[SilverGems89]

ok here's my offering from today, my very first (and second) goddess beads!
This is the first one, yes she is as tiny as she looks, only 13mm tall!

And the second one, which im so sooooo happy with! she's a bit bigger

Made them with the guidance of teresa laliberte's tutorial, which is fab!
Sorry for the poor pictures, i had to snap them really quick on the kitchen windowsil before it got too dark!

[Trudi]

great beads everyone. And that second Goddess has really come on!

Another vessel  - a plainish one - but it has mica powder at the bottom and black nebula rim and handles!

[Dee Dee]

The black nebula vessel is fab Trudi and I particularly like your second set Sally!

A couple of bits from me......

Some Psyche nuggets....



And some frittie beads....

[sublimekate]

Amazing S&T, I'm jumping in late the list of beautiful work it huge, all gorgeous.

Lampwork has come up trumps and satisfied my rather OCD like personality, I decided PPP as in order on the hollow front, now I'm obsessed with hollows    Just keep making them, gradually working my way through the transparent shelf    So satisfying 








There's more but I'm hogging now 

[Hazer]

I'm here to give you all an ego boost

This is about my 9th go at lampworking.

Fritties (frit supplied by June )


LtoR
Accidentally bumpy bead (the gas froze whilst I was melting in dots), Raked dots bead, bead with bead release accents, dotty bead, and plain bead:


Don't they almost look like beads?
