I've been playing with bottle glass and shapes, and The darker blob in the centre is the blue tack I used to keep the bead in place.

As always so fantastic beads here.
Love the Ogre and the "pandora" style beads Rachel and Les's flower girl and..................
For those that havn't seen them on Flickr here's my offerings



So sorry if you have seen them elsewhere.

[turnedlight]

Wow, fab ogre - he has a great expression!
I have been back to something I was doing last year, only now it's bigger! I love rainbows and clouds and the like, I must be so naff, I don't really make that many as people don't tend to buy them on my stall but I thought what the heck, I don't care!

also something I made a little while back but forgot to show, hand shaped as I haven't seen a press in this shape yet..

I did these shortly after the Flame Off - hadn't had time to get them off the camera!

CiM atlantis again, this time without the accidental rainforest on the ends... It's a bit opaquer and streakier this time round, so I probably got it hotter. (Tricky colour to photograph correctly, too!)



This pair are stoneground with Z851 dense lilac rose frit. Mmmm. I grabbed some from Maria Louisa right at the start 



And I got one of Kaz's Lush goodie bags and used it to make a nice beachy lentil. It was also my first go at my new Beadpress SSL lentil duo. I really like the shape it gives. It's also a bit bigger than I'm used to making lentils, so you have lots of surface to decorate (and I haven't tried the larger slot of the two!). The base is Vetrofond ivory with Vetrofond marine green over the top.

Yes that ogre certainly has bags of personality!
I've been working on my murrini and trying to apply them more neatly....unfortunately the glass I use tends to react and go all wishy-washy, but it's an effect I quite like.  There's one of Kaz's perfect little ones on the far right heart!
