My Creative Space

Well once again I am a few days late but like I have said before better late than never. 

The main reason I hadn't posted photos of my Creative Space was ...well... I was still working on the same piece, Spring Love, that I had been working on for the last few weeks so didn't really want to bore you with the same old pictures! But as you will have seen by my last post that piece is well and truly done and dusted!

SO... I have now started a new piece! I am currently working on yet another competition piece. I'll give you a hint... the colours I have to use are Amparo Blue, Turquoise and Pink Champagne.


I am using a glass fused cab I made in my microwave kiln which was created from a cracked lampwork bead made by Sally from Happily Ever Artist.  She makes the most divine lampwork beads (and she has just released a tutorial based on her stunning lily beads) and I was lucky enough to receive some of her cracked beads in an experiment to see how they would fuse in my kiln.  As you can see it fused pretty darn nicely!

I am not completely sure of how this piece will come together but it will include St Petersburg and perhaps a few other surprises thrown in here and there!

Watch this space as this piece is due 15 June so I better get a mosey on!!

Ocean Waves

I had my Brisbane bead meeting yesterday and shared the company of two of our very talented lampwork ladies -

Sally - better known as Happily Ever Artist
and Deb - better known as Debbie Does Beads.




So when one is surrounded by gorgeous lampwork beads what can one do but purchase... I loved these beads so much that I just had to use them that evening.




The gorgeous focal bead was made by Deb and the blue and whitish discs were made by Sally.



I loved the beach glass feel of Sally's beads and thought they complimented Deb's gorgeous focal bead, which reminded me of the ocean, perfectly.

Other beads used are glass AB rondells and czech glass rounds...oh and teeny tiny oval czechs.
