Hello Everyone
I made these beads a little while ago and haven't got around to showing you them yet.
I read Corina's words on encasing in Passing the Flame. I definately improved thanks to her words of wisdom. I also took the opportunity to practice a bit more stringer work:
I made one transparent amethyst bead. Can't remember why:
I had another go at one of these. Corina talks about encasing without distorting the design underneath. I've not mastered that skill yet as you can see from this bead:
More stringer practice and trying out a colour combination that Corina talks about in Passing the Flame:
A very complex cane I made up. Complex because there were a lot of colours that included some goldstone stringer. I quite like these colours but would have liked more depth. I think there should have been more transparent colours and I really do need to write my colours down:
These are just some beads I made from twisties. They are small ones:
Another complex cane that I like very much. The encasing is ok here. It's very even but I would have liked to have kept the wrapped rounds more in tact. They got a bit squashed as I added the encasing:
I was practicing encased dots. They are as hard as Corina says:
That colour combination again:
I was trying to copy some beads Corina has in Passing the Flame. They are white and clear and look great. I did ok with these but they need a dark background:
More encasing and stringer practice:
I've now properly run out of bead release. I've been eking it out for ages and have come to the bottom of the pot. It's not a good time for me to be spending on anything other than the essentials due to some expensive dental work I need.
Hopefully I'll get some soon though do I can crack on with my lessons. Although it's a tad hot at the moment to sit with a kiln and a blow torch!
