[beads-on-toast]

my humble offerings this week, i smashed 3, these survived, but i amd reordering mandrels as we speak, this size is too big, so the metal has split. Simple fritter designs for practice



and this was the first one - a keeper me thinks

[Shirley]

It's my anniversary - 1 year on from when I first lit my torch, so this is what I made on 17th February 2007



and this is my latest bead. The first encased floral that hasn't smeared, disappeared or had so many bubbles it should float.

I really, really like all the beads shown in this thread, most inspiring!

Dora, your BT is beautiful, and quite different from mine.

I recently learned how to make a BT-bracelet from Maria Louisa, this is the first one I ever made:



It's so relaxing to make these Beaded Treasures, that meanwhile I've made two other sets of little beads, that will travel with me to Switzerland February 29th, so that I'll be able to make two more bracelets during the evening hours (sort of an apres-ski but different! )

Lovely beads here, my favourites are, the first flower bead is beautiful Julie, shame the bead release broke but it always happens to me with the heavier beads.
