Dash it, I get to follow Ray with my first three goes at implosions! None are useable, the orange one has a big crack, the ends are ragged and the shapes are rough but I'm quite pleased with them and will be having another go.

And here's Colin the crab

Here is my second hollow - WITH the barrel that keeps it together rather than my first that didn't and broke.

Please excuse the lack of cleaning I was too scared to clean it properly for fear of it breaking

Ran out of gas so thought I might as well turn my attention to sorting out photos. Here's some I made earlier as they say on the cookery programmes.

Oops - a little on the large side but you get the idea

(Edited your photos to be a little smaller)

Me to start then, just a quick post as I am in the middle of packing to move on Friday, at last.

Couple of handshaped focals using lots of silver.

Some nice beadies there to start the week. Here are my contributions

A little octopus, using a sort of opalino green I found in the mix pack I got when I started

Some opal yellow with silver and kronos. Starting to get a bit of a reaction on these.

Another implosion that I should have left alone before I tried putting flowers on it.

And a simple bead with light ivory and copper green, that I think will be the first of many using that combination

Hi guys,

Well i managed to drag myself to the torch and kept the olbas oil away, thought it might be flammable!!

here is what i have been playing with

Some fun little rainbow ice cubes

Some more foil lined sea shore focals, including a dusk focal and a half etched focal

and last but by no means least, a vessel like bead, it has one hole (oh how very dare you) and i intend to create a bail and fix it in place in the top, leaving the bottom of the heart hole and headpin free.
I shall post the results next week.

Here you go - something to get everyone started. A pendant inspired by the 'slightly' damp weather we've been having for weeks now:

Nellie in her Wellies:

And some dryer organicy ones using BeadySam's Sunset frit over ivory and silver:

Looking forward to seeing what you lot have made.

I love all those beads, brilliant work!!! I don't even come near all of you, but this is what I was busy doing these past few weeks. A friend asked me if I could do a necklace, bracelet, earrings and ring in black and white only and no bubbles on the beads. So this is what I've done :

Sorry for the ugly pictures
