Up bright and early today, so guess I can start this week gallery?


ready for making up! by GaysieMay, on Flickr

Love the sets Gay, especially the lefternmost   one
Etched blues are lovely too and the heart is intriguing.
I'm still on the trail of the watery theme.

Gay, they are lovely, the first one is my favourite, the murrini work really nicely with the caribbean sea
Jeanie, that is totally not what I expected the seeded pink to be like, tis very unusual, works well with the frit colours.
the murrini on the etched turquoise is great, I like how they are all different like jellyfish 'swimming' about (is there a word for the way they move? I want to say skooshing but I think I made it up!) the ones in finding nemo are particularly coming to mind!
Mel, clear seas is beautiful, such soft colours. and I'm not usually one for pastels or pale transparents.

well...as I said, soft, delicate, pastel..its not really my thing...though I may sometimes like them, I dont make them!

so, here is something not at all pastel, or soft or indeed delicate really! they're not small, about 4 or 5 cm across.


Necklet Centre - purple and more by madelinebunyan, on Flickr


Necklet Centre - Flower side 1 by madelinebunyan, on Flickr

these are both now made into necklaces and will be off to a gallery shortly, but I loved making them so there will be more...and I have some other cool ideas for them which I'll reveal when they're done. oh and the bottom one has a curved hole.

[Madam Steph]

Arghhhhhhh!!!!

Fancy having to follow Madeline's loveliness  

Here is a focal from me that started off as quite a different design, and my first set of this week:



The focal I call Hathersage and the set, Loxley.
Do you see a pattern emerging here?

Madeline those beads totally stand out for me, they are utterly stunning

A couple from me, some new Redhead Fairies, some tree spirits that came about after I had to remake 11 fairies that I accidentally smashed and a couple of Ellies, apologies if you have seen these already on FB or Flickr, and apologies for the hog

So much loveliness already and it's only Monday!

I have been working on petal beads, the one on the right is my last and best so far. Now I need to practice on the consistancy of size.

[Ciel]

I've made quite a few sets last week, but this is a selection of them - I went a bit silver glass mad!

[PeterG]

Love the seeded heart.  I had forgotten I had some rods.  I'll see how they turn out tomorrow morning.

Here's some bubbles from me.  I rather liked the effect of the background through the glass.

First Fishy by Skarda Glass, on Flickr

I just wanted to share this little fella.  I wasn't intending to make a fish when I started but scales on a lentil bead have to end as fish..... apparently.  I think if I try another I'll have to look at a tutorial as his nether regions are a bit messy.

Kathy: love the egg-shaped ones.
Julia: Fishy! 
Ciel: those are lovely!
Sally: hooray, more ellies!

I made some barrel beads that I'm going to make more of for a set. They've got a silver glass wigwag and the dots on the ends are Terra 2: comes out very different on each colour!



This is a pendant topper. You can't see so well here, but it has the same wigwag around the sides. Murrini by Kaz.
