This is just for fun - I forgot to show you my fun attempts at playing with JC Herrell type beads after Flame Off.   Not a patch on hers, obviously, but it was fun to try them.  I also tried some Michal style beads but I didn't enjoy those at all - so much prep work involved for such little reward.  Not for me!

So many lovely beads in the gallery.  Im still working on stringer Control and shaping using my marver on the torch.

Haven't posted for ages, mainly because I haven't had any worth showing.  These have just gone to a new home.  It is soooo difficult to capture the real colours in silver glass...

Woweeeeee - this gallery is just fantastic, always so inspiring.

Here are my latest Ladies what Lunch beads - the hair is inspired by Michal Silberberg - I can see the colours becoming even more crazy!

My last commission. The customer wanted colours in a baby bedding set she had. So I came up with these little fellas.

Great start to the week everyone.   

Too many to mention individually, but I particularly like Kathy's angel hair and floral beads, Sally's fairies and girls, Denise's owl set and the amazing colours that Bev gets!

What do you use in Your beads for all that Sparkling, Pegasus?

Here are a couple of my latest beads:

And floral, I would never have described my tastes as anywhere near floral but I really liked these. Enough to make a little set, also very unlike me...

I've been playing with my 96coe glass and made some eye murrini so I could do gremlins in it.



This is RW0106 iris dark brown, which is a rather cool colour. It cycles through its striking sequence extremely fast between dark shiny brown and mildly devited blue-white, with other colours in between, even some green. After working a while, it stopped changing colour so much.

I'll work a bit more on the eye murrini, probably add something to give fine dark lines too for more contrast, but I'm pretty pleased with these ones. They're kinda hazel.



This pair of ornate bicones are also the iris dark brown (2 views, same beads). Shows some more of the blues and greens, plus the dark brown.
