Lesley your goddess is stunning and you are nailing the cutting technique

i have been making big hole beads with a variety of silver glasses

The colours change so much in direct sunlight









and my favouritest pandora bead so far -

Lots of lovelies again this week!
I like the way Triton reacts with petroleum green, and Sarah inspired me to break into my Terra hoard.

[Lush!]

Phwoar Mary, those are beauties - I had no idea petroleum green could ever look so good!

I've been having a sugar rush

Love all the beads on here : large silver cores, hearts, fruit pastilles and a special one for Pat's donkey - that's made my day.
Here's  one of my smaller hole silver cored and capped sets:

There are some beautiful beads here. those silver capped beads are fantastic. But for some reason I can't see lots of peoples photos. I saw Lesleys goddess (lovely by the way) but now it has vanished, and I haven't seen Emma's, Les, Steph or some others. Is anyone else having problems.



Here is my first go at the watercolour flower tutorial I found on here.

[Sarah]

There are some beautiful beads on show this week. I'm loving all the Triton and Sabine that rose is amazing!

I can't get good pics of my triton as its just reflecting light    but I do have some pinks which seems to be my other obsession at the moment

All Gorgeous - love the tropicana bowl!
I've been playing with my Psyche, I thought it was looking a little left out last week.. and there's some gaia and a bit of aion too..

   

   

     

[turnedlight]

I like him Pat!
Just a couple more beads to be cored - I've let them get bigger, I'm going to have to start selling them as large or small!

gaia, psyche and gaia, gaia and aion.. or is that the other way around..

   

After having messed around with combos of silver glass, I like the Triton unencased and the Psyche encased best..

I made a monster, LOL

I made some more big hole beads today.



I also had a go at a pleat bead and it came out pretty well, but won't photograph. And I did an implosion bead that is probably the best one I've done so far. It won't photograph either

Yum! Summer fruits! Don't forget to show us post slump Steph!

I've actually managed to get some torch time this weekend. Here's one I made on Friday that I'm pleased with.



This bead has a bit of a story attached to it for anyone who's interested; http://bumpybeads.blogspot.com/2008/08/fossil-hunting.html

Thank you Helen.

Here's another. I've etched this as it devitted a little bit 

[Shirley]

I made some more big holers today. These were commissioned



I just found the right spot to get the reduction on the Bobcat too. Been playing with DH odds from a few months ago
