An Amazing Bead Course

I've just come back from an amazing lampwork glass bead couse run by Lorna Prime and hosted by Amanda Muddimer. I had a fantastic time, developing better glass control for bead decorating.

If you would like to see photos of me at work and how a lampwork glass bead is made, check out the link on my facebook page:
Susan Lawson Lampwork Glass Beads Face Book Page

It got me thinking about the very first bead course I attended and how far I've come in just a few years.....

To see the change, here's a photo of the first silver core glass bead I made..


Well what can I say......! It's round, well, kind of, with slightly splodgy coloured circles and so so tiny, only 4mm wide - not sure why!! Needless to say, this bead didn't go on sale!!
To this...



What next.......????

Well I have loads of ideas from this weekend, different shaped beads with my new bead press, my own handmade Murrini glass for decorating and intricate bead designs. As soon as they are ready, you'll be the first to see.......

Back from Hols

Wow - had a lovely holiday in Portugal with the family.


Sorry to those who had a slight wait on your bead orders - all back to normal now.
I've even managed to make a few more silver core beads and bead sets which I'm in the process of listing.
