I'm a glass control freak!

Yes, that I am, but then you already knew that, right?!

My latest Watch Me Create post is about trying to stop myself being such a glass control freak, my 'Merry Berry' beads and working with glass that I don't get on all that well with. Please click here if you'd like a read of it.

'Vertigo' Beads

Whirls of lime green glass encapsulated in crystal clear. Swirly! If you're a fellow beadmaker you may be interested to know that my latest Watch Me Create post is a tutorial for my 'Petal' beads. Please click here if you'd like to take a look.

'Tranquility'

A few weeks back I sat and made a huge pile of these beads. They're very simple but I think they're really pretty. I sold half of them and kept the other half as I had plans to turn them into jewellery for yours truly. However, I just haven't had the time to make anything with them so I think it's time for them to go to a new home to be turned into wearable loveliness. These 'Tranquility' beads will be for sale on my website later on tonight.

Talking of simple beads, if you're wondering why there is a lack of my usual stringer-intensive creations please take a look at my latest Watch Me Create post which should explain all.
