Well these aren't exactly jewellery, but they are lampwork. Have you come across the Israeli resin artist Orna Lalo? A friend of mine is a huge fan and has lots of her pieces around her house. I've been wanting to do something non-jewellery so came up with these. Hand on Heart by LushLampwork, on Flickr Splish Splash, I was taking a bath by LushLampwork, on Flickr There's more on Flickr and Facebook (sorry if you've seen them all over the place!) and here's a link to Orna Lalo's website http://www.lalo-treasures.com/ - it can be a bit tricky to navigate though.

I have a load of copper wire hanging about the house, so I decided to make a bangle with it ... I have never made wire jewellery before, always lampwork .... I think I might make more of these ... I NEED some better quality tools though ! GORGEOUS clasp by our equally gorgeous George  x *not finished it yet though ... 622011_10151353856303973_223164446_o by Mad Cat Glass, on Flickr

My life sucks like a great big sucky thing at the moment and my online time has been seriously compromised - ditto my beading time - I have given up even trying to keep my Etsy shop open  However... I am still fitting in a bit of beading here and there and last week I fished out a set of pretty pink tabs by Judith Johnston that I impulse bought an embarrassingly long time ago  So long ago that I'd forgotten whose beads they actually were and had to go and look them up in my records  I tested out various ideas for beaded spacers, threw out the ones that looked like squished fruit pastilles and after much cursing found a formula that worked and that I really liked. I'm not usually a pink person but the colours in these beads are just delicious   and a closeup of the beaded bead that didn't look like a squished thing on the pavement  I will try not to leave it so long before coming back again, I've been lurking a bit and I've missed you all!

Thought you may like to see this set. It was for an exhibition spot in a local craft fair. Quite an undertaking for me to make so many beads the same, I really struggle with sets but was pleased with the overall effect here considering the beads are relatively simple to make.

And then it changed its mind... stickpin by mizgeorge, on Flickr Took a bit of ingenuity to make the protector, so I thought I'd dress it up a bit in the process! Nine inches from top of swirl to bottom of dangles, so just right for a coat lapel (I hope!) Lovely focal from Lush Julie. There's another one just waiting to be finished tomorrow

Hi everyone! I haven't been around on the forum for most of this year as I have barely managed any torch time and so have just poked my head in a few times. However, as we do secret santa at work, I have to give a gift to a girl who is very much into jewellery, mainly Pandora and Links of London style things, but unlike some people I know, I don't think she is completely a label snob - yet anyway! I decided to make her a big hole bead bracelet and used this thread as inspiration as I don't wear that style of bracelet because I think it looks weird on my wrists  So thank you to everyone who posted in this thread, even if it has been gathering dust for a while - you have helped me get my thoughts together on how they should look and be laid out. I have a picture of this finished product below and she will be opening it tomorrow, so I really hope she likes it. Too late now if she doesn't - the glue has set!  Merry pre-Christmas everyone with tinkly bells and all that.
