It's been a while........

since I posted here, where does all the time go?

Here's a new shape of bead that I'm quite taken with at the moment having borrowed a friends brass spiral tool.

I've used some double helix odds to make the shards that give it the pinkish colour and the rest is anonymous stringers left on the table :) A truly unrepeatable bead.

meanwhile, back to the anodised aluminium

I've finally got around to making a few things with the anodised aluminium (or anodized aluminum for US searches :) ) I'm beginning to really appreciate it's possibilities when I can make co-ordinating lampwork beads to put with it. I'm really pleased with how these earrings turned out together with my hand forged earwires.

All I need now is another 12 hours in every day so I can do all the things I want to do!!
