Kalypso Heaven......

Yes it seems I just can't stop playing with Kalypso silver glass!! I go out to bead for a commission request and can't stop reaching for this glass.

Not only do I love the pink and purple hues that are produced but also the many different ways it can be used ....with Goldstone, silver foil, with bubbles and I've also produced small stringers of Kalypso glass to produce a swirling effect. Here's the results....





Health Warning....don't look for too long or you may become as addicted as me xx

Winter Warmers

Yes I know, it can be a bit dreary at this time of year, so to cheer myself up I have been playing with some lovely deep colours.

I have just bought a new glass called Kalypso, which is a silver rich reducing glass and therefore one of the more expensive glasses but worth it, as look at the fantastic results. I think this may become my new favourite glass, as I just love the depth of colour and shimmer.

Happy New Year

It's good to be back beading after my lovely break in the Breacon Beacons with family and friends.We loved it so much, I've just booked to go back for Christmas 2011.

There's a few new things on the site today. I'm trying out a new photography table with a reflective background as it makes the beads really sparkle, so hope you like my new style photos.
