I couldn’t resist the stripey lampwork beads I made recently.  After a very long time of not making any jewellery, I finally created something.  I made a cute lil pendant, and a pair of earrings.

I had a customer order some lampwork beads made up in pairs like some I’d previously made.  She had made some gorgeous earrings with the ones she’d bought earlier, and wanted some more.

Steph wanted five pairs, so I, of course, made ten for her to choose from!  I had so much fun making them, the time just flew past!  They’re all rondelle shaped with a coloured centre and encased in a thick layer of clear.

I even tried striped beads again!  When I had tried striped beads previously, I was never happy with them, but I’m loving how these turned out.

I wont post photo’s of them all lol  Just a couple of each style.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This last pair are my favourites.

I was working on a new colour palette set the other day, and ended up only making the one bead.  Had a delivery that I had to deal with which took the rest of the day. 

I rather like the one bead I made for this palette, though when I continue the order I think I shall change the orange bumps to purple.  The colours match rather well, I had trouble with the hot pink as you cant really get one in soft glass, but the rubino worked well over the bright pink base for it.

Palette…

 

 

The lonely bead…

 

 

It’s my mum’s birthday today, and I bought her some gorgeous orchids.  The colours of these are stunning!!
