New beads and a podcast recommendation

Handmade lampwork glass beads by Laura Sparling

It's getting proper chilly down the shed and I've had to put the little heater on in there first thing in the mornings. I'm not moaning; I love this time of year and I'd rather be cold than hot. 

I've made three more quintets and they're all currently for sale in my shop. A bracelet upgrade is available for all three sets.

Bead recipes are as follows...

Dark Rose: CiM Gellys Sty encased with Effetre Medium Amethyst 042 with decoration in Effetre White 204 and spacers in Reichenbach 104 Pink Lady


While I was making these beads I listened to a brilliant podcast about a 'shaman' called Juliette D'Souza who about two decades ago conned people in Hampstead out of millions of pounds.


It's a shocking tale and also very sad. The podcast is called Filthy Ritual and it's available in all the usual podcast places.
