Lampwork Beadmaker and Mixed Media artist.
After many years jewellery making I have hung up my tools and found some new tools in paper, paint, stamps and all sorts of wonderful art making media..... Mixed Media is my new journey with some journal making thrown in too.
Lampworking has taken a back seat at the moment and I do intend to get back to it but the workshop is in dire need of a massive sort out and clean!!
Roses that's why I went to have a lesson with Laney I really wanted to learn how to make roses. Up until now I hadn't made a full rose only buds and a half rose.
Week 12
Orange petals with the yellow around the edge was still the way to go, as I did have few remaining from the previous time, I made lots more and this is how it turned out.
Very proud that it survived.
Week 13
My new Ombre style headpins which are two-tone and named from the hair trend at the moment with dark hair on the top part of the head graduating down the hair to a light or blonde at the ends
I have had my first online show on the new facebook group page called UK Lampwork Showcase, you do have to become a member to view and buy but its easy to join, just put in a request and someone will let you join.
As it was my very first online show, with no stock, I had lots of late nights for over 2 -3 weeks before, getting my stock together. As I was so busy I have neglected my blog posting, terribly Sorry!!
The show is over now, it was on Saturday 25th April, it went well I think, I sold some of my new things including my first daffodil. Happy, happy dance!!
I have also made a few tulips with a stem on a headpin
along with my other beads, cabochons and headpins.
I am really enjoying my sculptural flower journey, all I seem to be doing is finding pictures of flowers that I can reproduce in glass. Its fab, I LOVE IT!!
I will be back soon with some 52 things posts, as I am now weeks behind with that too ......
