Lovely Les, you must have been very busy.
This week picked up some stamen cane that I had pulled too fine for what I wanted, but works ok on these.

I've been playing with the new Flax from CiM ... was quite excited to get my hands on this one!!

There are so many lovely beads in this week's gallery !

I'm trying to get some half decent photo's with a dslr at the moment. I'm almost there, but still need to get the lighting and white balance right.

This has been a work in progress for over a year since we renovated our bathroom but I finally got round to finishing it. There are a few things I'm not happy with but thanks to Julie (Lush) I'm working on losing my perfectionist streak and lightening up a little so on the whole I'm quite pleased with the effect   What do you guys think?



The last photo is just to show it in context so you see the need for so many colours - I've gone a bit daft with the rainbow colours in that room

I realised I hadn't made a fish for ages so made a very basic one yesterday to try to keep my hand in.

I just realised that there's no gallery post for this week ... oopsy ! I guess I might as well post in here then

Here's my latest set ... I'm really pleased with these

Watching all the beads on this site really gives inspiration. Those beads, Les, look like candy! Yum!
I'm working on lentils and raking so I tried a combo.... The flowers are too small the centre one could be bigger, so thats for the Next one.
I used the same press on both lentils but the amount of glass was not the same, still they both came out looking like lentils so I Guess the amount of glass isn't so importent as I had imagined.

Here are my latest. The first two are Bronwen Heilman type beads,
The rest are shard beads,
I'm just generally having fun using up shards and ends of rods. The parrot bead used up two rods of yellow and is 64mm long so a bit of silliness on my part.

ok, I've plucked up the courage to post my most recent slightly wonky beads - I'm disproportionately proud of them as its the first time I had an implosion bead and a fishscale pattern work so well and I managed not to burn the bluestone while encasing it (I just have to ignore the not-quite-roundness of the cylinders and the wonky dimples!)

Very nice work everyone.
Kate, great start for you.
I just finished this set using Copper Green and EDP shards.
