Fun beads Ingrid. Very nice Maryse. Some amazing work there Anouk.

Just one set from me.

[Sarah]

I don't know where to start - there are some stunning beads here!

So I will just send huge hugs to Lesley - I know how tough it is Lesley 

I've been playing with a new idea - I'm calling them trapped hearts

Great Lush bead, and lovely work Nicki. Nice hearts Sarah.

One focal from me tonight,

[turnedlight]

Ooh! That's a dreamy blue Josephine
I've finally started concentrating! I have done a couple of sets for peeps to do jewellery rather than just messing around, I will get on and do more tomorrow! I did mess around when my uncle (big kid!) and aunt came round to see what I am getting up to in the shed, and they were saying 'do a fish!' and 'do an octopus!' (which I found hard, it looks really rubbish! - must find a tutorial ) but here it all is anyway..

Sherry I love your tangled web, great bead

Rachel, Autumn Sparkle is luscious, they look edible , and I love the name Frank's Party

I've just been adding these to my website, hog alert





and a few orphans

[sublimekate]

Rachel I love Esme, like Sherr said great colours all, and Sherry WOW that's a stonker (as we'd say in Doncaster), and Dinah again gorgeous autumn colours there, what a great thread already.

I've a few going on my website tomorrow (shameless - my middle name these days, needs must )

Bit of a HOG this.

Anyway I know these are simple but I'm really pleased with them, I got the dots nice and even, beads same shape, nice dimples, they made me feel all glowey when I'd done, did them all on one mandrel too, lost one though.

Aunty Dot


Chocolate Fancy - I didn't realise these had dust on them until I got the pics on the PC, looks like devit but it's not, honest.


Serenity - Very happy with this one, but there IS devit on the focal 


Winter Wonderland - Inspired by Claire (Rowenberry Art Glass) Fairy Tree Bead, just loved the silver in that bead, took me about 4 goes to get anything like, used Antique Clear and Pale Blue together.


Ok hog over, got more but I really shouldn't.

Wow, beautiful beads!
I have a glasspen to show.


My first glasspen! I even made the ribbed cane for the tip of the pen myself using an optic mold. It is a little bit wonky still, but never mind, it is my very first one! They will get better! And it writes!

[Vicki]

I have a couple to show, allthough nowt new if your one of my flickr buddies

Saved the link for future ref - way beyond my humble capabilities

A few from me keeping it simple:

[Kaz]

Some gorgeous beads here this week - love the purples Vicky!
I have been quite productive here in Oz, but struggling to get any photos to show.
Here's just a small sample:

From L to R: Driftwood, Granite Island, Goolwa Night, GoolwaDay, Middleton Night. Middleton day.
Pretty pleased that I have managed to produce these focals on a hothead after almost 10 months working on a minor.
This is a new crunch press I bought here.
I also managed to acquire a precious stick of effetre silver pink - any ideas for using this anyone?

[Josephine]

One organic focal from me.

I'll be back to comment on everyone elses later, back to the workshop for now.

[Funky Cow]

Oh wow - a feast for the eyes already this week 
A couple of weeks ago I had a bash at tiger beads from Corina's tut. I'm pleased with them as a first attempt, but don't look too closely at the encasing!
