Such lovely work so far and I thought I might add a few this week. BHB and they are all silverglass but I cannot capture the shine on my camera

love those angels. So many amazing beads already this week
I don't often show on here as I'm always so in awe of everything!!
However after sally showed me how to make one of these beads I couldn't wait to get home and practise. Here's my first set of them using aion glass

Lovely stuff so far this week. those angles are sweet and lovely bright ones and those twisty beads are very unusual.
I have had a problem with my camera and a good friend brought hers over today and took some photos for me of these beads.

"Gum leaves and Gum nuts"

Sorry if you have seen them on the colour of the month thread already but they are the only photo of new work I have!

There are lovely, lovely beads in here, as always

I must confess to having a bit of a soft spot for those angels.

I hope you'll forgive a quick post from me - hollow blown boro ovals with flat backs and slightly off-centre hanging holes. They are a fab way to use up all sorts of odd stringer leftovers

They're quite chunky too, at about 30mm long.

Those blown beads are gorgeous Emma

Here's a couple from me ... one or two more are on my Flickr if you click through ... The button was a swine to photograph today .. it's wound from a rod of white filligrano... you just can't really tell too well

Wow, so many wonderful beads - I'm particularly loving Diane's floral bicone, Cath's colourful bumpies and Les' angels

I don't post often in here, but I was quite chuffed when I managed to frame these:

Oh Les, that is lovely, I love how you use enamels

Well, this is how the next part of my degree show wall sculpture is developing...Graffiti!

Very pretty Diane - they really show up against the black!

Another couple of pieces I've finally photographed:

I'm inordinately pleased with this simple bead because it's my first go at making my own circular murrini.

amareargentum · April 02, 2011, 06:31:59 PM

How could I have forgotten? I've got the rest of my work from the glassblowing course I went on
