Becky, these faces are AMAZING!!!
I am not terribly inspired for the moment, so I am mostly making spacers and small simple sets.
These are one of my favorite colour combinations: turquoise, purple and raku:

Gorgeous faces Becky!

Here are some more dots, you are probably bored by now, but I was thrilled to pull these out of the kiln!

Lots of fab beads everyone, a quick post an run from me as heading out to the shedio to check yesterdays batch.

Nothing terribly exciting but was rather pleased with this commissioned heart turned out

And some sets of Pandora sized beads for an order.

Sorry - can't resist posting these as well!
And then it's off to the shedio with me - to go dotty mad as I have just discovered a huge stash of the Reichenbach 96 intense transparent rods that you can use sparingly with 104 (like frit!)

Les I love the first bead, and adore the look on the cats face in your banner

Swurlgurl, fab chocs, if only all chocs had zero cals
Kaz - nice dotty beads, love the etching
Helen, such precision flowers
Claire Louis - my jaw dropped when I saw your Rainbow organics

Oh my my, I've only looked back a couple of pages and this is a fantastic Gallery. I'm gonna post and run back to the beginning of the thread and have a proper look.

I'm working on some Seaside beads for an exhibition. I dusted off my beadliner this morning and cored this one.

I'm sorry ...I seem to be always posting my efforts this week, but I'm on a bit of a roll after a 2 month lack of mojo....

I'm always trying to do the impossible rather than stick to what I know, and this time it was see how long a bead I could make. Very difficuly, as one end cracks before you finish the other, and then the middle cracks because you have been spending too much time on the ends!
However, I did manage six beads, most a bit mucky from re-melting parts of them, and two have small cracks...the longest is 82mm

And this is the one that survived as I planned it....75 mm long

Well, we're going to York for Valentines day, leaving tomorrow, so I can promise I definitely won't be posting any more pics for a bit.

Pat from Canvey · February 12, 2011, 08:02:21 PM

I made another goddess bead, this time in clear and put enamels on it.

MangoBeads · February 13, 2011, 03:44:40 PM

My new beads have become something of an obsession and our mandrels have come into their own. My new collection of beads are designed on random size mandrels from 6 - 12mm. They are designed to be worn on anything either stacked or the conventional threaded way. We will be offering chain and suede accessories for these. The beads are going to be sold as collections and some will be repeatable designs. None will be cored

and there will be plenty of them !!! ........ just had to share
Sorry for the hog !
