This is my latest creation. Again something I had a dream about!!! I envisaged it being a bit more puffy but I had great fun making it and learned loads. I have also done a different finish and used one of my dremel attachments to give it the brushed look!

I am really chuffed with it and would love to hear what you guys think of it!

The spotlight for the next few days falls on Jolene. Jo has been making beads for about the same amount of time as me but has recently moved into the field of shards, murrini and twisties to compliment her awesome bead making skills. her work can be found here and here go take a look!! Her own handmade murrini feature in the absolutely scrummy beads above that are also made by Jo and are for sale in her Etsy shop!

Having nearly got a spinner ring just before Christmas and then deciding I could make my own I have finally got round to giving it a go! This is my first attempt and there is a bit of a problem with the soldering (which split slightly when I flared the edges out) but overall I am quite pleased! It turned out to be the size I wanted it to be which is good and I am pleased with the hammered look! Gonna play with this design I think

I love the kiln fairies

Blimey my photographic skills still need some refining but I think this picture is clear enough for you to see the scrumminess these beads have to offer! I love making these beads and using the shards to get the different effects and I have to say these particular chards are my absolute fav! I have also got the hang of making round beads without using my marble marver! So considering the fact that I thought that last nights journey to the shedio was a waste of time I have been pleasantly surprised by what the kiln fairies left me.

Click on the picture to go to my Flickr album and see what else I made. They will all be up on my website tomorrow morning for sale!
