Here are a few of my 'Ladies what Lunch' the two on the left have faces made of Effetre silver pink 255 and the two on the right are CIM Ginger.  I don't always get a perfect finish on the CIM but slightly prefer the colour, whereas the effetre always melts beautifully to a lovely glossy finish but is a little paler!

I've only just got around to photographing the beads I've made over the last coule of days.

Still experimenting with enamels and trying thin lines.

Well what happened here? It's definitely that day isn't it! I'm starting a treasury, totally unsupervised...

I'm starting with my glass doodle I did today, it may not survive transport to a kiln or annealing, so it looks all ugly on the mandrel:)

For those of us who don't do Facebook, thank you for showing them here, Helen.  It would be a pity to miss them!

I'm starting with my glass doodle I did today, it may not survive transport to a kiln or annealing, so it looks all ugly on the mandrel:)

I believe I have some doodles to show too later today. Nothing wrong with doodling and can give rise to completely new ideas for beads. Nothing ugly about that bead and, if it's still on the mandrell, you can have a think, put it back in a cold kiln and embellish it when it comes up to garaging temperature. If I do this, I leave the bead in the kiln at annealing temperature for at least 30 mins to make sure that there's no temperature gradient within the bead.

Here are my doodles,

I've not posted another of my black and whites because the white seems to have picked up some graphite dust from the marver. I've now dusted it but any thoughts anyone?

[marklaird]

Love everybodies work. But then I always do love the work that gets posted here.

Just a couple of new beads that I haven't already posted.

I'm not sure what the glass is, as it was the unlabelled bundle that I won at the Flame Off raffle.

I'm liking it, but think I need to use it with something to add some colour to it.

Lovely beads Mark, and that BHB looks incredibly well centred (mine aren't usually that neat!).   Amber might go nicely with that colour

[Dee Dee]

Lovely beads everyone!  Looks like Effetre Fossil to me Mark! 

Here are a few I've made recently.....sandblasted and some metallic black....

[Hotglass28]

Whoa Dee Dee, those are great!

Pat, give it a light wash under the tap and buff the graphite dry with a kitchen paper towel.

Here's mine.  Dolce the Owl

Dolce looks very perky with a pout! Love the fossil (?) beads, very, very wearable. Am still trying to go for very large hollows as so exciting when they do the right thing.
