My Owl Family

Welcome to my owl family.

I started making these for a stall at my sons school and they were so popular I have made some more.

Lampwork Glass Bead Owls

You can buy them as focal beads or I can make them into Pendants or Bookmarks for you. I am also looking into ways to make them into home decorations, so these should be coming soon.

I have lots of new ideas in mind for 2011 and have been sourcing materials for this. Sadly costs have increased for Sterling Silver and also due to the VAT increase and therefore my prices will increase slightly to reflect this. My prices will not change for existing stock, as materials were bought prior to the increase, so grab yourself a bargain at 2010 prices!!

Thanks once again to all my customers and friends who support me. I hope you enjoy your beads as much as I enjoy making them for you.

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.

Merry Christmas

Wishing you all a very merry Christmas.

Yes it looks like it will definately be a white Christmas this year!! Hope it hasn't caused anyone too much disruption with any travel plans and that you've been able to enjoy the snow.
