Spiky Lentil!

Here is is then , The 3D is gorgeous in reality, it has spikes all the way around. I am so pleased with the design, will do some more ...







The wait...

I can't wait to get my beads out of the kiln later this evening, I think it should be some exciting stuff...
My daughter has started making polymer clay beads, so much quicker to get the results, only needs baking at 110 degrees C for half an hour!

Hollow Pleated bead!

Taking the pleats a step further...

Don't you just love the enamels, it feels like painting,  but unlike painting the colours don't blend they stay perfectly the way they are, so each colour is placed next to the other, but together the create a song of happiness :))

3D squares!

When I first started experimenting with the hollow bead technique I made 1 or 2 of these, I have had such fun this week with all the 3D effects again, and if you want to have a go at them, I do have a tutorial on this technique.

You can imagine the play of shadows this technique creates, the light box tends to take away some of that effect.

Moon Night

What I love about making the "moon Face"beads is that I can still be creative with the backgrounds, as each one is unique.

Spring Fever!

Even though it is Summer here ;)

Just for my Northern hemisphere friends, to cheer up their dreary days :)



Do you feel Spring is in the Air ?

Well, today's bead will certainly help to get Spring fever a little early ;)


The Flow Magazine!

Yeah, I did a little happy dance when I found out that I was chosen for the "Emerging artist award"
in the Winter Issue of the Flow magazine. This really special as it is also an issue dedicated to women in glass.

Thank you The Flow!
