Mosaic Beads - so excited to show you...

I am so excited to show you what fell off my mandrel this weekend! I never in a million years thought I could produce anything like these beads. 

Even I think they are beautiful... 

So I decided to make a pair to try out my new technique in a different reactive silver glass.

Oh yes.... and not forgetting the anemones!!

Thankyou for looking,

Yep, you guessed it....

....more Rockpools!! I mean seriously, how much fun can a girl have with her Anemones?!!

Hope you like them!

Love,

Rockpools forever ....

After having so much fun with my anemones, I decided to try my 'Rockpool' beads in different colours and challenged myself to make a full set - I can woohoo! The possibilities are endless :)

Hope you have had a great weekend.

Lots of Love,

Beads from the Seashore....

Well, I haven`t been on here for a while have I?

Some BIG news... for those of you who don`t know... my sister had a baby four weeks ago! Little Isabella Chloe Jane entered this world in the early hours of the 8th April. Mum and baby are thriving. She is lovely... such a cutie, just like her Auntie! haha! :D

Ok, so this isn`t a Mothers and Toddlers blog, this is a very professional artisan lampwork glass bead makers blog! So back to beads!!

A few weeks ago I ordered some Murrini. They arrived yesterday! Wahoo! Well, it would have been rude not to try them out wouldn`t it! So here you go... a few piccies for your perusal :)

Spring is definately here!

I have seen the first House Martin of the year today! So exciting.... he flew straight past me, then perched on a telephone wire for a while watching the world go by.... hopefully waiting for his friends to return! Exciting!

I would like to show you some beads I have been making in the new wavey shape, which you seem to like lots too!

Hope you had a good Easter break.

Lots of Love,

New Shapes!

Today I have been feeling a bit drained... probably because I have a bit of a bug I just can`t shake... so I decided to have an 'admin' day. 

I guess it`s good to have a bit of a rest sometimes.

I have been sorting out/rearranging/general tidying of my etsy shop into 'made to order' , 'ready to go' , 'destash' and 'focal' sections.
