Here are some beads I made recently.
I'm especially pleased with these:
The smaller beads are turquoise blue and I managed to get them all the same size. I'm really pleased about that. Although I work with my flame just right I think, in terms of it being neutral, one of the small beads has a darker streak which I think happens if there is too much propane in the flame.
The large beads have Corina's complex cane from Passing the Flame wrapped around then encased. I love the look of depth the cane gives the beads.
I made some more tiger beads. These are again from Corina's Passing the Flame book.
With this bead I was doing a bit of stringer control practice. I seem to be improving. The photo doesn't do the colours justice.
This is another type of stringer wrapped around a bead.
I like the ends where I feel it resembles a Spirograph picture.
And here's the art:
I love this picture so very much. It's been on the wall in my daughter's classroom for ages and I've admired it each time I've gone into the class. I'm thrilled to have it at home now.
Have a lovely week.
