Day two. I had about an hour and a half to play today, and I'm fairly pleased with them. I'm feeling more like the glass is my friend rather than my enemy!

Lovely beads going on here - those flowers are beautiful.
I have done a few new sets this week.

Fab second go beads Paula, great shapes, no pointy bits like mine were are still are sometimes  

I've had a whole school hours day in the shed today before I had to go to school to see 'THE' video.  I made these.  I'm loving the colours, the yellowy looking long ones are actually ivory.

Wow! Diane, those colours are gorgeous! And Les, that top one is beautiful and arty
I've been practising discs, as people keep asking me to do cufflinks, but I find it really hard to get a disc even, and then to do another, matching one.. well! PPP tomorrow!

Well everyone is very busy this week. Lovely flower beads, and very impressive implosions there Q. I really like those little grey squares with silver dots. Lots of other really nice work too,

Here is a set from me.

My friends are really supportive when they look at my efforts of wonky plunged beads and smudged flowerbeads etc., but their eyes only really light up when they see my humble efforts at various critters - so I keep making pigs, cows and penguins (mostly for mobile phone charms), and have recently figured out how to make a sheep....and if anyone has a great tut on how to make a clown I'd really appreciate it 

[Dragonfire Glass]

cute faces on the critters & I love the sheep!

I was asked to make a barn owl

and I made this for a challenge in another forum, but is a bit clown-like

[turnedlight]

Ooh - all lovely! I made these yesterday, I had planned from the start to etch them, but now I'm not sure..

Yesterday, I concentrated on my puckered ends....I do  feel I'm getting there.

I tried colours I wouldnt normally use, and it felt very tropical.



Today, I was trying dots....there were a couple that I was really pleased with, so I hope when cooled  they still look as good.

I am completely addicted!!

Gorgeous as ever Mindy, I love your use of colour

Some from me then



A new set




and a silver core with handmade pmc beadcaps, this is big enough to make a nice focal I think.
