Welcome to my wonderful world of handmade lampwork beads and handcrafted jewellery .

I enjoy making handmade beads that are not mass produced and have that original feel and look. As my beads are not mass produced not every bead is the same and can vary ever so slightly . This is why I feel excitement each time I melt glass as each time is like the first time. Any imperfections are stated in my descriptions so buyer please be aware .

Enjoy looking at my beads.
It is our imagination that lets us create these wonderful designs.

Still not had enough of Double Helix Glass

And I have the silver wire as well , that was me set up for the next four hours.











The rustic look for me . I will wish to be the perfect bead type and be able to make beads that match , but for now I am having fun with Rustic and Curvy !!

Playing with Double Helix

After cleaning my shed with soap and water , yes full clean although not the floor . I decided for the couple hours I had spare yesterday that I would play with some double helix. After some attempts at using the lentil press that was deciding it did not want to play or I did not want to play . I  decided just to go with the flow. Put some colours together with white and ivory and silver and see what came out . I now have some silver wire for my next attempts at these types of focal beads . I rather like the organic look .

On the day he goes back to Shetland

So he went for the spring birds back to Shetland . How do I feel about it ? I do not know , mixed feelings . He likes it and has a form of connection with the place . I do not simple as that . Or is it !


 I mixed a few colours up today , lacking in mojo still I want ideas to come flooding in . Or should I just let go and play I wonder . If it works it just works , if it does not then it can go into a large jar I have for my " not wanted / not good enough beads "




On a positive note , my son has found that he likes skateboards . I was into skateboarding as a kid , so I think I was more excited at seeing all the skateboards than he was...... I want one at I want one now , my son on the other hand thinks I am too old now and that I should act my age ... As if ...

A bit windy

I have been itching to go into the shed , after a girly day Sunday by going to the cinema to watch a girly move . And my mother & her Partner coming for tea the Saturday. I knew I had Bank Holiday Monday to go into the shed. I did and I knew I should not have right from the first bead. Nothing came out as I want or woud have like and I knew I should have packed it in then and there for the day. I did not . I refused !!! And these are my results from that day. I blame it on the wind , it may be sunny but boy is it not half cold in that wind.
