what I made with my beads..




I couldn't resist using them to make some jewellery - they are for sale on my site.
Also, my shed is very nearly ready - yippee! I need to finish painting inside, and my lovely Dad is making the bench, then I'll start moving all my gear in! I will show some pictures when it's complete.

More beads!




I have been playing with silver leaf today, and recently been using a lot of dichroic glass.. and dicovering that it varies quite a bit! Here are two lentils with raku and blue dichroic glass, available on www.turnedlight.com .





And some transparent aqua beads with the silver leaf..

Painting for Dad's birthday




We gave this painting to my Dad for his birthday.. it's the towpath by a local river.. maybe I can find time to do some more painting - since I discovered lampworking a year ago, I have hardly picked up a brush!
