New beads!

As I've had a couple of weeks off work I've been busy at my torch and have been practising working with SiS stringer and bead shaping (as well as the usual washing, cleaning ironing, sigh....).

I am happy with the results so far and have certainly speeded up my production levels over the last few weeks.  The next step is to make these beads up into bracelets and get some photos taken for my portfolio.

Onwards and upwards!

Base colour - Reichenbach pink lady - what a stiff glass to work with!

One of my favourite colours - Efffetre Dark aqua.  The picture is a little washed out compared to the one above but my photography (and editing) is improving, albeit slowly....
