Here's some I made earlier

Have been making some little charms, in two styles. Lampwork, and beaded beads.

They are for an exchange I am taking part in. I can't decide which are my favourite.

Neglect!

I have been a bit neglectful of this blog lately. Bad me!

But just to let you know I have been to two bead fairs in the last 3 weeks (Ardingly, and Kempton Park), and of course spent way too much money. Nothing to show for my purchases yet though.
I am working on some beaded beads for charms. I have lots of samples, but nothing that I am really happy with. I am going to move onto using some cats eye beads in the next set. So hope to have pics soon.

Begging? Moi?

Did I tell you I am helping to arrange the GBUK lampwork and jewellery competition this year?
So I am out with my begging bowl, asking various companies to sponsor/donate a prize. I have been pleasantly surprised by the generosity of the people I have approached, and I am well on my way to getting together really good prize packages for the successful winners.
I really hope that there is interest from beaders to take part in the jewellery section of this competition, as its been my idea to include this category.

Go to www.gbuk.org and click on the link to the competition page.

More beads anyone?

More twisted glass beads.

Psssst. Can I interest you in a bead?

How about some beads?

THAT'S TIDY!

Had a couple of hours tidying up my work space, wiping down surfaces and organsing the glass a little. Throught I 'd show you how tidy it looks now. LOL.

Keeping the resolution

My worm bead (see earlier post) was snapped up. Just proves the old adage "beauty is in the eye of the beholder".
