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.

Finally something to show

I still cannot get onto the shed . Guilt about going into the shed , guilt when I do not go into the shed. I NEED to get in there...........

So here's some pieces I made up instead. 









And finally One Silly Moo is here to hunt me forever , I love the simple yet stylish cards , yet I am remembered as One Silly Moo . Good or bad I will be noticed.

Whilst the sun is shining

I have said before that sets are not my thing. Not that I will not be able to do a set the same in time , no that's not the problem here. Far from it . I do 2 or maybe 3 beads the same , then get bored and something else pops into my head. I enjoyed my full 8 hours in the pink room yesterday, free form beading or " the organic look" . Whatever you choose to call those days where you just put colours together to see if they work. Beads are not level or perfect , they are free hand . No rollers or bead presses to help get that " perfect " look. 

No the days I enjoy the best are the free form days, where anything goes !!! 

Shape , style , colour ............ Anything goes .... ...








                                                              And if it doesn't .........

                                                       You always have tomorrow.

The Humble Bumble Bee Look

I had not put these colours out when I started this morning, knowing I only had a few hours to get some beading in until the sun hit the shed full on and I melted, I had already put colours out ready to start. Having made only one bead in the colours I had chosen. I had a Eureka moment due to the sunshine and seeing the lovely Humble Bumble Bee buzzing about in our garden. I changed colours and bead these beads below. And I know these wonderful bees do not have Polkas , so stringer control will be next on my hit list to try .





Meanwhile enjoy the sun and warmth & happy beading if you can !!!!

Facebook Shop or Not

if people know me then they will know I do not do face book or twitter . Years and years people have tried to get me to join . But I have found today more and more people are setting up facebook shops. So the question is are you doing it and is it worth it.

Do I really have to be dragged into this social networking kicking and screaming and can I keep it all professional do I have to have the social side ( personnal ) of it as well ...........

Let me know you thoughts I would love to hear if you have a successful facebook shop
