I made these beads today - rather hurriedly - I would probably have another go, they are growing on me. Based on a project in Linda Peterson's book which I've just got. I agree with someone else's comment about the poor editing but there is some good stuff in there.
Sorry about the poor photo again.

Well, in that case, I'm actually more impressed. They have a lovely 3D look about them so you've used the stamp well. Great job, Di. Thumbs up

I love those! It's one of the projects I've been meaning to try from the book - I shall certainly want to get on with it now! They look fantastic!! Daisy

Do you reckon, though, that the ones in her finished photo are carved, rather than stamped like her instructions - it's likely that she took a selection of her favourite pieces and recreated them for the book.
