Fireseed, Journey Into The Flame

January has gone by pretty quickly! I had to put away my lampwork over Christmas as my daughter Rebeka and boyfriend James came to visit from Newfoundland for three weeks. So... what have I been up to? I found some very interesting beads called 'warring states' that date back to approx 300bc China, here's one that is in the Museum of Bristol in England.


I want to be able to make these beads, but oh boy! It's hard to control all those dots!! These are my best attempts so far -




Here are a few pictures of my latest stuff, I'm getting a bit more control of the glass sometimes and I'm really having fun with my faces.
