Those are all stunning, i hope i can get that good some day.

I made these last week following a tutorial from here, they are my first that have come out so well am really pleased, unfortunately two broke in the kiln.  just a silly question, what do you do with all your beads that you make?  do you sell them as beads or make them into something?

Finally sorted out Flickr thanks to some lovely ladies on here
so a bit of a hog hope you don't mind

Love that heart Madeline x

I'm still making headpins, this is what I got up to yesterday. I made some dotty drops, some emerald green leaves and experimented with some different colours, a special red and white heart headpin and I had a play at making some rosebud headpins -never made these before, haven't quite worked out how to make a matching pair yet though.

Beautiful beads love the little heart headpin especially!

I'm more pleased with the photograph than the bead on this one - only wish I knew how I'd done it!

Hi Guys, I have been away for an age....got sucked into Facebook.....
Great Gallery today, Kathy very beautiful florals as always x Linda those headpins are fab I love them, Margret loving your colour choices so bright what a fab range.  Madeline beautiful hearts, Collette great colours, Trudi Yum and Shelly what a fab bead for someone who has just started....I have just made a water feature mosaic of all my old beads, cracked and not up to scratch......

Here are a few of my beads for this year....sorry for the hog in advance.  Hope to be abit better this year at keeping up in here.   And Hello! to everyone I haven't met yet!!

So starting with a Lentil...love this shape only press I have!!

Still doing these decorative beads but they are growing in size..

These are the smaller size Raspberry Beads all about 2.5cm/3cm in diameter and width 

And these are the Whoppers...calling them Valentine Beads as they are a labour of love....around an hour and abit each one and 4cm in width and about 3.8cm in height 

This one is a 3D bead incased in a frame and made into a pendant.....

Bought Amanda's Concetric Circle tutorial and had some fun playing with it and used it with a twist rather than a cabachon had a play with marbles and pendants having had a crash course in Marble making from David.....thank you Mango!!




Thank you for allowing me to swamp the page!  Have a good week melting everyone    Jennie x

Excited newbie here.....ordered my kiln and had a lovely day playing today. As you can see lots of practice needed on shaping but have been using some of the twisties I've had fun making recently.....life is good. Can't wait till the kiln arrives. Cheers Claire x

Brilliant beads Claire and Helen, I love those lentils.

I was having such fun yesterday I didn't want to stop but the kiln was a little bit full and it was 11.300pm.

First up I perfected my little rose headpins and yes I do mean little. Apologies for the state of my thumb!

I'm going to try to be more active in the gallery here. Here's one of my favourite combinations of frit and silver.

[helbels]

There's some scrumptious stuff here this week!  Shirley's already been complimented on her lovely frit beads, Trudi, those rainbows are gorgeous, Linda, those roses are so dainty and pretty and Helen, love the orange and turquoise lentils.

I haven't torched much since Christmas, but starting to get back into it.  Here are two sets I made this week:

Hi All

Looks like I'm first this week.

This first set was jointly inspired by Trudi and partly by a photo I saw on Facebook this week:

And the second was just to restock my Etsy shop, as dotty always seem to be popular, made with Sasha's Silver, which I'm never really too sure how to use!:

Here are all the ladybirds that were commissioned for a christening, me being me had to throw in a yellow one  they are all now on the favour boxes ready for Saturday.
