Thanks Julie, I might just have to treat myself to some

I recently bought the Michael Barley Baleen tutorial and here's a couple of my efforts.

Sorry about the reflection of the bay window. I didn't go upstairs to use the light cube.

Those beads are amazing Pat, they look so complex. And gorgeous BHB Shirl.

I have been having a go with Triton recently, made these after reading Manda's tutorial in the new Creative Lampwork book. (Thanks Manda!) They are a bit difficult to photograph as the black one in particular is very shiny!

A couple from me - trying to get a peacock feather effect!

Think the multicolour dark (seond one) works better than the iris orange raku.

I made some more baleen beads. This one is made with stained glass, while the next 2 pictures are of the same bead made with 104 glass and The grid showing the last picture is where I put the bead in the kiln a little too early and it shows the imprint of the kiln shelf. The middle picture is of the edge of the bead so that it looks a different size from the face view.

These earrings are so feminine, would look great with a crisp white shirt.    Did you make the ear wires yourself Julie?

[Kalorlo]

Wow Manda!

Here are the beads I made for the colour swap - I've been really busy trying to get my website ready so not a lot of beadmaking the last couple of weeks!

My trial beads: our colours were transparent dark turquoise, heffalump, ivory, coral and periwinkle.



Final prototype:


Beads I sent:


Krysia: I'm using 2mm mandrels unless I specifically need something else.

[Fruddy]

I've been making big hole beads again.... they are SOOOOO easy on Manda's 5mm mandrels!!







And here's a bracelet that I made, I used silvered ivory and encased Kalypso for the beads (love that glass!!)

[ScarletLeonard]

I had a desire to try something different.

I just made two hearts.

Love that pendant Mindy 

I've finally got around to coring a few beads, it's just too cold to go outside to make new beads.

Gorgeous work everyone, awsome colour combo's Manda 

Not been around much lately, thought I'd show my face, or rather my recent beads 

Been playing with Clio.......



Lightly etched these, must admit had my heart in my mouth doing it, I'm not sure the pics really show the effect but the beads have a nice soft dreamy glow
