new beads and Haiti Charity!
06:42
In other news, The Collective's Charity Auction for Haiti is going GREAT! A huge thank you to everyone who has bid so far. If you haven't checked it out, please get yourself over there, pronto! There are plenty of glass artists, jewellery artists and textiles artists who have donated loads of gorgeous pieces to this cause. With 100% of the proceeds going directly to charity, you can't go wrong! Thank you so much for all your generosity so far.. we've already raised £610!!! Woohoo :)
I'm off to melt glass.. if I can stop staring at the snow!
Have a great day :)
Love,

Confetti Twist yumminess :)
03:58
I absolutely LOVE these beads! I call them Confetti Twist and they are created on a transparent base with gorgeous pastel frit. I then heat them up and twist the center which creates the pretty swirl in the middle. I liked the beads so much that I turned them into a bracelet for myself ;)
I know I've shown the bracelet oodles of times before but, hey, I really like it! I threw the beads together, wired up one of my bunny bobble heads for the dangle and, voila, it's an Easter bracelet! Now, out of all the many (MANY) bracelets I own, this is the one that receives the most compliments. Yes, really. Something about it really intrigues people and so I decided I would experiment with this combination in a lentil shape.
And these are the result. What do you think? I think I love them even more!! I especially like the look of the pale pink spacers with the lovely frittiness (hey, NOW it's a word!) of the lentils. Is good, no? When the sun shines through the lentils they sparkle like magic. Yum!Off to raid my frit collection and see what else I can come up with! Have a great day :)
Love,
keiara
