I'm loving these bracelets, and the beautiful beads!  My bracelet came from Tillerman beads, the beads I made after four months torching, not thought to make any since then. Think I could make nicer ones now  .   That's it I'm having a go! How easy is it to put silver cores on, do you need special tools or do they just squeeze together each side of the bead?  Sorry about the questions! |

Ohh loving this thread - lots of beautiful beads n bracelets on display here! There are two options for the "cores" you can core them with silver tubing but you'll need a special tool for that. Or you can get some nice silver rivets that you can glue in (I use 2 part epoxy). Palmers sell a range of them in different sizes! My bracelet has had a make over - it's gone green!  |

A mini me one
 I made this one myself - one that I could just add a few beads too and is snug enough to fit my wrist without slipping around! |

I also won George's new style bracelet - it's really clever as it shows toggle that sits really well and makes it look full, but there is a tiny catch behind it to allow you to slip the beads on and off! And see the official Flame Off colour way (well foe me anyway!)   I wasn't going to buy anything at the Charity Auction, but I got seriously excited by the male model. Next year Colette will need to keep me under better control!! And for my birthday I got another one from Palmers - it's one that's shorted so I can have it with just a few beads (bit like my leather one) but it's silver. I feel I have another serious addiction to go along with the glass, beads, shoes and scarves ........ but they look so pretty and always fit! Picture to follow! |

I was the lucky winner of this lovely Sterling silver Heart brooch, made by Kathel from Denmark, in Kaz Draw at Christmas. I teamed it up with one of Julies hearts and called it Heart to Heart. Thank you Kathel and Julie x  Heart to Heart by Avalon Beads, on Flickr |

I admit it - after weeks of making crystal jewellery in bright colours, post-Christmas reaction has set in and I've gone all romantic and flowery  I impulse bought these gorgeous beadies from Hazel and just love their delicacy and softness  I'll be writing a mini-tut for the beaded bead spacers on the FHFteam blog this weekend - if I get my act together in time  |

... I'd wear this necklace!  My lampwork encased floral beads strung on fine sterling silver chain, with doubled chain on either side. I'll be offering a line of these within a few weeks hopefully.  If I were a bride... by Kathryn Greer, on Flickr More photos on my flickr! |

I've been struck down by a hideous snotty cold this weekend, which has totally filled my head with cottonwool through which my remaining brain cell seems unable to operate. But I did have a play with some languishing lovelies from my stash yesterday and made this. I wanted something long with a nice big pendant and this little suncatcher was perfect (well I think so anyway)  Ribbon by Sowzere and copper spiral and rings by Dilunah. The black beads are lava stone and the small ones either side of the lampies are garnets. |
