What I did yesterday

Ok, these below are what I made yesterday with Kaz's lesson and her frit. I put this together. Rather pleased with these I must say ......

I also had yesterdays session using 2 oxys , soooooooooo much better and quicker just a bit noisy in the shed now . Oh well will have to turn up the radio more .

 Then as I am not doing so well at the flowers , I am finding I like putting the twists in to mix the colours and these are how they look , much better in person camera pics are not so good today.

Again trying to use colour and PPP the flowers , it might happen one day. I must say though doing encased flowers is really really hard then trying to encase it without the flower bleeding and all the layers you put in OMG is all I can say .

I made these focals before my lesson with Kaz . 

PPP with the heart press and new double helix glass .

My PPP at bead rollers .

Mallards !!

What a lovely couple 

I cannot believe this landed at the back of our garden

kaz's Day out

I said I would post pics, these are some beads that I made after Kaz's showed us what to do. 

From shards to ribbed to goldstone frit to encasing , Murrini I cannot forget that or stringer lessons again !!!!

A quickie

I have been doing beads HONEST !!!! I went on a much needed next stage course with Kaz last weekend both Saturday and Sunday. The husband and son I hear you say , well they went to Barcelona to watch them play . This was our son's Xmas pressie from us so Dad had to go with him as he is only 12 .

And I had the house to myself all weekend so I went on Kaz's course. I need not say anything more about the Master and her teaching skills. I learnt so much and have put some of it into practise today. As soon as I  recharge my camera I will get around to posting my efforts. 

On a lighter note we have a pair of Mallards in the pond. 4 hours they have been in their and Bella has only just noticed we have movement on the pond. Pics will follow when I go into the office next week it shall be first on my list of things to do . 

Updated Website

Just to say I have been updating www.60degreesnorth.com with bits and pieces of my work. This website will be going through a change when I am able to change the domain name in August . I am still unsure how I want it to look so plenty of extra homework for me this year, researching what I would like stylewise etc.

I am having problem with sizing of my photos on the website. I upload bigger images than I am supposed to. On my mac it says crop so I crop. I do not look at what size I am making it. ( my eyes are glazing over just talking about this. ) I know my 12 year old would do a better job than what I am doing of it at the moment !!.
