Some more beads

Have you seen this yet? Playing with silver glass and murrini again.

This is very orange, but I like orange.

Bubbles

Here are a variety of bubble beads I have managed to make recently, using different techniques.

Some new goodies

I took part in an exchange for beads made with silver glass, here is what I got. Are they not gorgeous?

Not so good, just bad and ugly

Sometimes I try so hard that the results are really bad. Here are some ugly beads for you.

Flame Off

I have been looking forward to this weekend for such a long time.

Big responsibilities, helping to organise the competition. The judges took their task seriously.

I went to the TUC rally back in March, protesting against the speed of the government cuts. It was a great day, and a brilliant atmosphere.

Times past

Visited a re-enactment market. Chain mail armour, leather drinking bottles, hats, gowns, horn and bone drinking vessels, hand made brass needles, brocades, swords and daggers, viking shields, soda ash glass, and loads more. We came away with food, drink and leather hide. Whoops. Cant find the pics. Will add them in later.
