After some greatly appreciated help from our Pam (Maple Glass) I actually lit my torch today and made some beads. From 50 mandrels , these are the survivors. Aww, my liddle babies Very Happy Now I'm off to prepare 50 mandrels for another session tomorrow!

Wow, Denise, looks like you're a natural. Like the look of those ivory one's at the front. Looking forward to seeing more from you.

The more you look the more you see, some quite advanced techniques there Denise and from where I'm sitting pretty well executed. A natural I'm sure.
Well done.

They aren't perfect, honest, I was clever with the photography Tee hee
Let me have a bit more practice and we'll get together and play, shall we? I've e-mailed and phoned Nicky this week about the kiln, but I think she may be on holiday Confused
