The hardest thing about lampwork is staying focussed!

Too many colours, too many shapes, too much wonderful inspiration out there, I don't think I'll ever be able to make a set of beads for a necklace I'm having way too much fun flitting from bead to bead.


Here are three barrels I made yesterday - I even named them! - Christmas in July (because it's got red and green but not Christmas red and green and it sparkles but it feels like a summer bead), Dreamtime and Codex. Dreamtime is my thinnest and longest barrel to date, I love the length and want to get 'em longer and tapered. I know, I'm naming them, that's a bad thing, that means they are becoming family members and you can't sell family members!!
