Sneak peek

So what do you think! This one will be on sale tomorrow once I have taken better pictures but I can feel a series of beads coming up. It is so tactile and simple, not sure if I can etch this as it is BE glass and quite a few of these glasses don't seem to want to etch but I have a prototype that I can etch and see what happens!

Bullseye

I have just placed an order for more of this scrummy glass! I am really enjoying playing with it although the sampler pack I bought consists of unlabelled rods so I have no idea what I am using!!! I am treating myself to 2 rods of colour each time I order and playing with each colour! I will be back up the studio (shed) tonight so I can play a bit more!

I will have some pictures later of my haul from Sunday night, my mum is going to a wedding in 2 weeks and she is wearing a pink and grey outfit and has asked me to make her some pink and grey jewellery. In keeping with the theme lately of my greys and purple etched bracelelt and the greens and blues etched bracelet I have made loads of small beads in the various pinks and greys and some larger ones round and pressed to make some jewellery with. Got a few more greys and pinks to work through tonight and then can show my mum and get making! I like pink and grey together not too girly but not to austere either, casual and smart etc etc. I will post pictures later!!

Gotta go see you soon

I love Wednesdays.

Even this one. Wednesdays are my day off from my "day job" and even though today I have got work to do (essays to mark and lesson to prep) I still enjoy the relaxed feeling it gives me! Here we are at nearly 11 in the morning and I am still in my PJ's, pottering around. Savannah has got pre school at half 12 so I will drop her off whip round Tesco and then get home to my marking (joy!!!) But I have still managed to get a bit of jewellery making in. I am having a jewellery party on 3rd April so I really need to get some stock sorted. The pictures above are the latest in my bracelet collection. These are so darned simple but so bloomin gorgeous I think there will be more. I especially love the etched glass effect.

Right I suppose I had better get myself sorted!

To etch or not to etch that is the question!

These 2 beads are made with a transparent pink base with shards over the top. The bead on the left has been left shiny and the bead on the right has been selectively etched so the shard remains shiny and the transparent pick is now matt!
I quite like the etched effect, what do you reckon?
