Yes, I am still in the land of the living, just havent been able to make beads recently.. I’m pregnant! But, I got on my sisters torch the other day, and whipped up a cute little pair of beads made from a beautiful glass, Gaffer Chalecedony, then I rolled them in clear frit.
I still have another 3 months to go, give or take, so hopefully will be back at making more goodies eventually!
Hope you like them as much as I do!

As the title suggests, yes I have been a busy bee! Made a lot of sets lately, seems I have my mojo back..
Enjoy!
I made this BHB just for Australia Day!! (Hence the title) It has a transparent green base, then I rolled it in 24k gold leaf, and encased the whole bead in clear. Go the green and gold!! Really effective, I think!
Then I thought I’d try it in Rubino Oro – this is the result, and now have an order for 7 sets!! Yippee!!!
Had a go at these today, saw them on a lampwork forum and thought I’d give them a go.. Theres a frog and a cow…
Art In Glass
Well Hello fellow bloggers! This is my first ever blog, so I guess I’ll start by introducing myself.. I make lampwork beads (among other things) but making glass beads is my passion I have discovered! It all started about 12 or so months ago. Was introduced to Lampwork by my sister, through www.beadingforum.com.au We thought we’d give it a go, and did a beginners class with Tracey Brown of Wildlight Studios in Brisbane. It was so much fun, so I saved up and got myself a beginners kit and have had fun making my own glass beads ever since!! My favourite things to make are big hole beads – similar to those found on pandora/biagi/chamilia bracelets, I make these into sizes for bracelets, and also as a focal bead for a necklace. I also make pairs of beads up, and turn them into earrings, using sterling silver mostly. I have some of my work for sale at my etsy shop, www.artinglass.etsy.com ,and also once a month at local markets.
Thanks for letting me share!!!
