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 :)

Flaming hot hot hot....

Yesterday I had a fantastic day melting glass with the very talented Laura Sparling. I feel sorry for my hubby as I think I may be a little bit (just a little bit) hooked :) I had to laugh though, I came home and showed him one of Laura's cupcakes and all I got was "did you make that?" as if!

Pics to follow soon hopefully of some gorgeous frit beads - my flowers however leave a little to be desired but for a first time I think I did ok. As they say watch this blog.....
