A large set of "Orphans" !

It is not my strong point to make mixed sets, but this
I quite like and they are all little "Orphans"
even the focal ;)

Will be on Ebay soon looking for a loving home ;)




 



A couple of Fun beads!

Underwater Garden

I bought Ron Bearer's Tutorial on Implosion flowers, I thought I'll start with something easier, just a little implosion sea anemone. I have totally submerged it flush with the surface of the bead.
The flowers will take a bit more practise:)

There is just someting about pinks purples and greens
If I look at the shimmering wings of some birds and    
the wings of butterflies, the shells of beetles
and the peacock feather, We are all drawn to these
amazing colors!

 I thank the glass makers that they have been able to
 produce some awesome glass that can almost replicate
 some of the lovely colors and metallic shine!

I have another bead with super sized murrinis,
I am seeing how big I can go ;)
I am at the moment a bit limited by my glass
cutter, perhaps I need to look for a tile cutter
ha,ha...
The new banner was inspired by this bead!

Fun with purple!

I think I would be lost without silverglass, and
I don't think I am alone.....right?
I would go into withrawl if I had to go without,
perhaps I should try to go without for a week.....
no way! :)
 It is really the pearly shimmer I love so much!

Creatures from the deep

Playing with more huge murrini's, they really do

make me think of sea anemonies, what do you think ?

This is so sweet!
 Ingelore has awarded me a favorite blog award,
 thank you so much :)





I have to be honest I don't read a lot of blogs
but the ones I do read are my favorites anyway :)
here are 3 of them



Und hier die Anleitung:

Du bist getaggt worden & möchtest teilnehmen?

*Erstelle einen Post, indem du das Liebster-Blog-Bild postetst & die Anleitung reinkopierst (= den Text, den du gerade liest).

*Außerdem sollst du zum Blog der Person verlinken, die dir den Award verliehen hat & ihr den Link deines Award Posts dalassen.

After the rain...

Everything is fresh and green, my eyes are overwelmed with the brightness of the blue sky and where the sky meets the earth the green of the fields blend in harmony!

Purple Sky

I think it must be purple week, I have discovered Kalypso, and at first I only got a caramel colour out of it but now I know what to do to make it sing! You need to work this glass extremely hot, cool fast alow the glass to turn a deep red then put it at the back of a very hot flame to strike abit more, next turn the flame down a bit but keep the oxygen up, reduce in the middle part of the flame, don't over reduce ! and encase.

Colour my day!


Colour is so much part of my everyday, you would think it is easy, it is something which is all around us everyday, in all the possible combinations, yet it is quite an art to take the pallete before me and decide which shades to use, to create a rich and interesting mood something which creates an exitement in my soul, most of the time it is just in the small details of the "painting"that I find such pleasure.
