Get Down to it

Well, I'm here and I did my crazy 7 days in a row, and did ever so well in tips so I am ever so ever so happy about that. I got home last night and made a few beads so I could get some new stuff up on the site this morning, so thats what I have been up to so far with my day off !!!

Absolutely gorgeous glass... It's Double Helix's Triton, I am in love with it! this bead set it Triton encased in clear
Two Cupcake beads... the one on the left is a cupcake for a friend at work, and the other in on the website.
And a Big Red Heart - definately getting there with the shape :-)
right off i go to tidy up and get down to some really good bead making!

Reducing Psyche

Well I did say yesterday about thinking that I have manged to make silver glass work for me... I love this set I made but I was hoping for more purpley tones. I have asked the lovely people over at Frit Happens and I'm sure they will be able to let me know either what I did wrong... or something else. Here are the rods I used to make the beads... DH Psyche, Effetre Ivory and Effetre Clear.
can you belive that those three rods made these glass
amazing really! don't get me wrong I love this set, but also want to be able to more with the glass!!! So fingers crossed this is the begining of somthing loveleeeee!
Also had a quick read of Amy Trescott's Surface- Decorated Floral Heart tutorial and made this heart from it
I am really pleased with how it went... I have whipped it on a black cord and have round my neck at this moment... I will defiantly be making more of these today i different colours and hopefully I bit more presise
