Ta dah....

Well, if you haven't already guessed I am just a little bit pleased with my efforts from making beads with Laura Sparling last week. Typical me there was lots of blue glass being used :)

Oh and then I had a bit of a roll and made a set of fritties.....I can't wait to hold them in my hands and see how even they are in size as I kind of guessed that, but for a first attempt I think the girl did good. Now all I have to do is make some jewellery with them - at the moment that may take much longer than the bead making did!

So, the big question - do I want to make more lampwork beads. I would love to, but I think space and more importantly time are at a minimum at the moment. However, if anyone is willing to rent me time at the torch nearby I won't be saying no :)

Laura is an excellent teacher! Very pretty. Those will make some excellent jewelry. You should keep going at it!

They're great! You've given me hope for my first attempt - if I ever get round to buying gas for my torch....

Veryan - you did so well! Your beads are great and you should be very impressed with yourself!

Nope, not just you who thinks they really rather okay...they're terrific, well done.

It's a shame you're a little far from me...but, if you're ever this way! :)

I saw your wonderful beads on Laura's blog and was so impressed that I had to come see the rest of them. Wow, I am not disappointed! You are definitely a natural bead maker. They turned out fantastic!
