So here's a preview of one of the beads from my newest set. I'll list them on eBay either tomorrow (Monday 21 April) or Tuesday (depending on whether I have enough time before I start work tomorrow). I'm really happy with how they turned out. They're freeform (no presses used), and I've used a combination of Moretti and CiM (Creation is Messy) glass in Periwinkle, Aqua, Lapis, French Blue and Leaky Pen. A little difficult to tell in this photo, but there's hair-thin black stringer on these beads, but the part I'm really excited about is the murrini. I made these murrini ages ago and I only had 6 left, so I decided to use them in this set. As you may be able to tell from the photo, the murrini is sort of "floating" in clear glass on one edge of the bead, with a tiny bubble in the centre. I was inspired by Corina Tettinger's "Quark" beads, and I have some more ideas I want to try further down the line. The beads are lightly etched, except for the little "window" with the murrini which I've obviously intentionally left shiny.
So.. hope you liked the preview ... if you want to check out the entire set, remember to pop back either tomorrow or Tuesday. :)
