Here are some of mine from last week then.

Some absolutely stunning beads on here this week, great eye candy.

Wot no S&T? So I get to start it again? You can tell it's school hols! I'm going to be a bit of a hog here.

Well here are mine, I am trying a different method with the uploading so they may be too big. I am trying to save myself time. Will try one and if that works will post the others.

LesleyMac · October 28, 2007, 08:29:15 AM

Marvellous it works.

Here are the others then, the first one here is my favourite. But I am thinking of making a set like the last one, your opinions please, is it worth making a set - it would be very bright?

Seriously gorgeous beads! and oooh that new yummy vetrofond! (Shame I cant buy any coz Parcelfarce have an inability to get my parcels to me, so I've given up before both me and Q explode! LOL!). Those browns and greens are doing it for me!

Well here's my show and tell - and I am going to be somewhat hoggy here! apologies in advance....

Ooops that was somewhat hoggy! my apologies! my excuse is that I havent posted in show and tell for weeks and weeks!

I had a whole day at my torch yesterday and loved every second, but when I went to take my beads out of the vermiculite I saw that they really are pony.

Does everyone go through a phase where their stuff looks really gauche and rubbish next to some of the show and tells here? I know a lot of people have been doing this for ages and I just need to practice and I only get 1 day a week to get going so maybe some patience is in order! I want to be an expert NOW!!

Right now that foot stamping sesh is over, here are some of what I made yesterday.

Sorry about the size I give up on Photobucket(!) these are coming up enormous! I tried resizing them but it hasn't made any difference.

Hi,

I haven't posted any of mine for a while, but I too am hooked on encasing frit.

The large focal really is lovely, I wish I could take better picture.

Sorry for hogging.

Everyone has been busy. I especially like Lesley's beads, Maryse's frit set and Dora's. Oh and Anna's floral bead. And Manda, those long beads are fab, I'm never satisfied with the shape I get when I try that.

Here is a necklace I've just made. I'm going to save this for the exhibition I told you about.

LesleyMac · November 08, 2007, 08:14:02 PM

Josephine that is really lovely

A couple from me

Billie · November 09, 2007, 08:50:56 PM

Manda - you've been busy. Wonderful stuff. Miriam, your flower bead is fantastic. Here are some beads I've been busy with the last couple of days.

LesleyMac · November 10, 2007, 02:10:09 PM

Beautiful set Dora
Annelyse, Manda is right those are gorgeous.

Some more from me then, still on the quest for the perfect bead shape

Front and back shown of the first one (cos its my favourite)

This last one is called "oily water" because its just like the rainbow effect colours you get on oil on water, pity you can't see better from the photo, its gold fumed.
