Merry Christmas

and a

Happy New Year.

 

This school term has gone quickly, looking forward to the Christmas holidays and getting the heating on in my little cellar studio. Starting to get withdrawal symptoms.

 

Thank you to all my customers during the past year and especially Jenny B. who has more of my beads than even my mum :-)

April-   My lampwork has taken a back seat at the moment, I managed to make time to get a set of beads into the GBUK (Intermediate category) Lampwork competition at the Flame Off and totally delighted to say I won first prize with my "Cats In Hats" :-D

 Snowy Christmas Tree, I have struggled to reproduce this bead and managed one that I was pleased with, which is now in America, but I don't know what I was on the day I made this but can I have some more please....

to Helen and Jon who recently got married at Lake Garda in Italy.

A special thank you to Helen who gave me the greatest honor of wearing the pendant I'd made for her on her special day, it really meant a lot xxx.

Glad you had a wonderful day and from the photo's it looked absolutely perfect.

Managed to get a few hours in the cellar and made a set for the GBUK "day at the races" competition. I entered the intermediate category and won. Talk about gob smacked.... I was so sorry not to have been able to make it to the Flame Off in Towcester but my GBUK prize was posted on to me.

 

"A day at the races" set of 13 beads. (not unlucky for me!) 

My chocolate beads were in Bead Magazine.

It was first year as a GBUK (Glass Bead makers UK) member and I was included in the GBUK journal.

Passed my night class with Distinction...yay no more homework and

Just had my first European sale, a "Fairy Kitty" bead is on it's way to Norway :-)
