My second go at an encased floral (you might have to pay me to see the first one ) This one is better but it is a whopper, 2.2mm across.

I'm really struggling with light at the moment. Here are a couple from yesterday ...

so many gorgeous goodies here!!! I am finally on the mend and was even able to make a set of my Renissance Garden beads for my Aunt in Bolivia. Here is a shot of 3 of them. I am still getting the hang of my photo tent I finally broke down and bought one after having 4 days of sunless skies and was not able to get a decent shot to save my life!!

Here is Garden Vines- Renissance Garden Series

Thought you may like to see my first bits of sandblasting, lots and lots more to come and many much bigger (have been applying resist to sheet glass and with some blown stuff too !) but these are the "so far"

These are all done on my sandblaster
lots of tests -


Some closer shots



and these are from a few weeks back when i hired a sandblaster



Anyone else with anything to share please please do, I'd love to see 

[Chameleon]

thanks everyone for your comments  All hugely appreciated

Janet, there are different options for sandblasting, I wanted a cabinet to try to contain dust as much as poss so i have a "desktop" cabinet, pic below is it in its current temporary home next to my SC2 which gives you an idea of scale ! I think cost is a bit how long is a piece of string you can get something quite simple without spending mega bucks but it does depend on what you want, and how much power it needs to have for what you want to do with it.

I love those beautiful BHB's, they look so lovely.

I made one of my robins (thanks again to Trudi's tutorial!) into a Christmas tree decoration.

I love all your beads - you're a talented bunch.  One day I really must have a go, as I can see there's a real element of 'instant gratification' that you don't get with kiln work (which is more 'delayed gratification' - usually a quick look the next morning before rushing off to work!)

I don't often post stuff either - I'm very picky about my own work & I'm often less than completely satisfied.  But this plate worked 100% and I love it!

Here's three bracelets from me (Xmas pressies for my family) - please excuse the poor quality photos!

Ok...I figure the reason no one has started a gallery for this week is because we are all too busy enjoying good food, wine and company.....so why not post some of our best work of 2010? 

Here are three little owls from me......
