Ok, in the spirit of ensuring that the newbies aren't too put off to enter, here is my organic lentil bead. It actually started life as a gravity round bead but I got bored with it and lentiled it. Added some Gaia silver glass and happy with colours.

It hasn't been annealed yet as I haven't been over to see helsbels this week so it may crack. We will have to wait and see.

Oi Mark, no need to excuse yourself for being a newbie - that's a lovely bead

Look forward to seeing it in the flesh in due course!!

I was told off this weekend by Krysia for not having posted in here, so here are 2 from last week. Commando, ivory and a touch of DH in these.

Mmmm, organics!

I made a long bead and matching earring pair (2nd pic shows the one bead from several sides).

I like them both Trudy. Beautiful Lakelady and lovely organics Heather.

There is some stunning work in here. I love organics soooo much.

Not much good at organics. This is the best I can come up with so far, an organic pattern as opposed to shape.
