I'm not going to try and comment on all the beads in this thread but aren't the S&Ts just getting fabulous

I have a few more to squeeze in before the end of the week

This is a really shiny lentil but I can't remember which DH glass I used   I'm trying to use up some of the older ones.

and a few silver glass BHB

and terrra2

can't quite make my mind up about it, still haven't done any proper comparisons between it and the original terra but it does seem to reduce quite a lot quicker than the old stuff. Not sure if that's good or bad

love the etched black!

I was going to say that to 

I don't show in here to often, sometimes it seems a bit overkill by the time its gone around facebook, other forums, flickr etc...so sorry if your sick of these already

Andrea inspired me to go back to life before big hole beads 3 years ago   I dug up some of the old stuff I did and added in some new stuff we learnt and came up with these !

Somehow think I may be doing more of these - they are biggun beads made with the help of my wonderful Jim Moore Crunch press which I am totally in love with !.
Thanks Andrea for opening doors and inspiring us all but most of all thank you for getting me out of a rut !!!!!!


... and this is my most favourite

I have been having health problems and what with one thing and another I haven't been on the forums much.

This is what I have been making though, the first one is totally a copy of an Al Janelle bead but I have turned the dalmatian into a button.  Just wanted to try this   Guess what its really a lot harder than it looks, no surprises there then.



This one I finally managed to figure out a tassel, this is early days for this design but I am fairly happy with the first one, its a very large bead.




Another example of the type which might eventually have a tassel attached to it.

Just popped away to get some pictures and more loveliness appears - that birdie is excellent - reminds me of "Pidgeon Street"

Some humble vessels from me still trying the get to grips with them and didn't think gold leaf would be soooo fiddly

These aren't as yucky as they look on the photo... They are actually quite nice in reality, I just couldn't get a proper photo of them!

Anyway... Here are my disc florals (there's goldstone frit in the center of each one!!):

Fantastic Show and Tell,  Manda commented on Facebook but just love that new style beautiful, Vicki your Japenese flowers are gorgeous, Sonja that birdie made me smile, lovely and Trudi and all the other bubble makers...Love it, sorry if I have forgotten anyone, really lovely beads all round.

I bought the seascape/jellyfish tutorial and have been experimenting....Beads are abit 'organic' but love the effect and it is SO much fun!!

Bev, those beads are stunning!  Love the shimmers and swirls

I've been making another rose - this time with black glass and multi coloured frit melted onto the surface.  On black leather with sterling silver.


And a set of bead pairs - some I've tumbled to give that 'sea glass' effect again.  Hope you like them!
