Love that daffodil bead at the bottom Jo, very skilful. And Les, I hope you make a fabulous sheep bead!

I found cat sick in my garden today, but I think I'll resist the urge to make a bead themed from it.

I have these in my garden

Lovely beads everyone!

Apart from not really having the skills to make more than a very simple flower bead to enter this month, we don't have much in the garden for inspiration, unless I figure out how to make some pebble beads...

Not sure if cat poo, dead weeds, recycling boxes and bins, a motorcycle and the neighbour's rubbish would work on a bead! $:-\$

I've got lots of beads on that theme, do they not count then

Lovely work everyone, this is what you all have inspired me to to:

these are still prototypes, I need to work on the colours a bit, and some other things that arent quite there yet, tricky little things!
and I haven't managed to get the proper, 'gormless' look that they have! (something to do with the eyes perhaps?)

Let's give it try! Never put anything on this forum yet, hope you like my work.

This is an interchangeable popperpendant. The popper I made has a little violet inside.
I really enjoyed looking at the beads of all the other lampworkers.
