Finally New Beads

I know i've been a bad blogger recently, i promise i won't be from now on. I've just had a lot on with my little one being ill and all this very cold weather we've been having. Anyway i got some torch time and this is what i came up with. I love the above set cause these are so not my usual style but i built these up step by step in my dreams which is totally weird cause i don't normally dream, lol.

I had to make more fritties and i just knew this frit blend would look fantastic on a white base, there's something about the contrast between the opaque white and the transparent purple and amber of the frit. The below bead is one of the version of a bead i made for a lampworking compition but i was ill myself at weekend and never got round to submitting it, plus i've noticed a tiny flaw which while it's perfect for jewellery making it's not quite right for a compition. Oh well!!!!

hi Caroline, Glad to hear you and your little boy are feeling better, and it's great to see your latest beads - I love the 'dreaming' set - isn't it weird how just sometimes ideas come in your sleep, lol;)

Those top beads are so different and really lovely. Good dreaming going on there. Can't wait to see your next lot of dream inspired beads.
