'Twinkly'

Lampwork glass beads
These soft grey beads are encased in sparkling crystal clear and decorated with white stripes. The soft grey spacers have been coated with shimmering silvery mica. Twinkly!

The strand is £18.50 and is available here.

'Little Bit '80s' & 'Pinkurple'

Lampwork glass beads by Laura Sparling
I cannot believe it's over a fortnight since my last blog post. That's awfulness. I've had flu, Nigel was really ill and another of my guinea pigs died so it's just been one thing after another but I think things are looking up now.

I was digging about in one of my glass boxes the other day (I don't have fancy organised glass rod storage because I know it would never stay organised) and I found half a rod of Effetre Amber Rose. This was an odd-lot of glass from about, oooh, ten-ish years ago now. Effetre never replicated it but it is such a pretty colour; kind of a pinky-peachy amber, as its name suggests. I teamed it with some CiM Chai and some soft grey to make this 'Little Bit '80s' set. Peach-pink and soft grey together always conjures up images of legwarmers and bubble perms in my mind.

And I also made a pink and purple set which I called 'Pinkurple' because it's pink and purple. Yes.

Both these sets are £18.50 each and they're for sale here.

I'd best get on with the beadmakery. Have a good day.

I've not forgotten I still owe you a waffle post. I bet you quite literally (or not eh, pedant types?) cannot wait.

In the meantime, have these four lots of bead mixes.

There are four sets available in the shop priced at £18.50 a strand.

Happy Wednesdayness to you!
