I spent some time torching at the weekend and got around to cleaning and snapping this evening. They were not all great, but these are worth showing I think.

Some pressies:


And some purple and green beads:

My stringer work is getting a little straighter - still a way to go though. My trouble is I play with too many techniques - and not often enough!

Beautiful Kaz!
great roses Jaqueline!
I love the Baubles Sal!

I don't often make sets, I was asked to make a bracelet, I couldn't resist getting a pic of them as a set before I make it up! (might not get time after!)

Here's another set of sparkly murrini rounds

And here's an impromtu necklace. I found 5 clear hollows in the bottom of my bead box that I had made when practising so I etched them and made them into this instant necklace with some commercial "sea glass" spacers. They aren't even very even but they looked nice like this. It was immediately snaffled by my friend!

Other than that I have been mostly making simple earrings and jewellery for an open studio for my neighbours next week. (Love these new earwires by George!)
