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!!

<br />
Well January was very hectic as I left my job on 19th January and 21st was my birthday and oh boy did I get some fabulous pressies.<br />
<br />
All for my art journalling...<br />

Can't believe how lovely it all is especially my new Distress Oxide inks and new Brusho colours. I also have new corner punches and a big circle punch, that's the big Green one in bottom right corner. Stamps and templates for circles, oblongs and ovals (bright orange can't miss them).<br />
Then other bits and bobs.... posca pens, knife and blending tools... etc.<br />
<br />
I'm having fun playing now that I have no work....<br />
<br />
Heres my family with me on my birthday having a lovely Sunday dinner.<br />

Sizzix Big Shot Die cutting machine<br />
<br />
Must stop looking at it and get on with using it..... I have put the handle on and unpacked it though!<br />
<br />
I have a few dies on the way but I do have a few dies already.<br />
<br />
<br />
So I must read how to use it and give it a go 😮😮😮<br />
<br />
Bit scared!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
Maybe tonight I will.<br />
<br />
<br />
Wish me luck 🙃<br />

I have joined a different group called Mission Inspirations which is run by Mike Deakin.<br />
<br />
Again it is an art journalling group with 8 promps each month to follow along with words and colours to also inspire.<br />
<br />
I have found this more challenging than Art Journal Prompts as those are single word prompts which I enjoy as I'm more free to choose the colours and what I want to do.<br />
<br />
I have given some ago though but not all have been successful.<br />
<br />
I would just like to add that I now have a WordPress blog as well and I have been using that for my journalling.<br />
<br />
Here's the link to that if you fancy checking it out.<br />

But Missions for September and October are below<br />

Magpies ... I've used the word Vagabond as Magpies are right little thieves even though them 'collecting shiny things' is apparently a bit of a myth. They just pick up all sorts of things.<br />
<br />
I wasn't too happy with this one as the early stages didn't come out too well but I think the gold may have saved the day!!<br />

Oh I did have fun with this though.... I used embossing powder for the cobwebs and my new Tim Holtz Pumpkin Patch stamps along with a few extra card cutouts I found on a Mr Kipling cakes box. ... very cool, matched perfectly!! (The flying witch, cat, bats and spider all came from the box).<br />
<br />
I'm a bit stuck on Novembers but I think December's is going to be much easier. I might just skip November's for the time being as I keep changing things and I'm not sure about my focal image.<br />
<br />
Its all in the learning and practice of course.<br />
<br />
If you check out my other blog you will find more things I've been doing over there.<br />

Until next time<br />

TIME - Week 25<br />
(with a little steampunkesque to it)<br />
<br />
I have joined a group on fb called Art Journal Prompts. Each week they have a new prompt (usually just one word) and you make a page using the prompt.<br />
<br />
So 'Time' was a past weeks' prompt (25) but I had already started this page so I thought it fitted the prompt well.<br />
<br />
<br />
The groups admin is called Nina Ribena who is in the UK so that's great as I understand where she gets her 'stuff' from which is so helpful. I found her YouTube channel and it's very inspirational and she always makes a video for each weeks prompt as well as other ones on various art journalling processes etc.<br />
<br />
I'm enjoying this group and hope to do more prompts soon.<br />
<br />
This week's is Nature so will love this one.... now to decide what to do!! 😆😆😆<br />
<br />
<br />
Till next time<br />

<br />
And a few others I had picked up from a free goody bag from some show I had gone too?? Can't remember which one it was!!<br />
<br />
I was so pleased to find them as I wasn't sure where they were!! They were buried in a cupboard in my workshop.... the reason why my workshop is NOT called a studio .. as I have many different crafts I've dabbled with in the past and that's where all my supplies and equipment are stored 😊😊 along with my Beadmaking equipment.<br />
<br />
I've often made special occasion cards in the past so I already had cardmaking supplies but now ... with all my YouTubeing, I have some better knowledge of what I would like and now need to find the things I like to do, and, of course, a better understanding of how to do it as well!<br />
<br />
1. Texture:<br />
Is definitely one of them (hence all the different stencils). So far I've had a go at making my own Gesso and Texture Paste. Out of my 'workshop stash' came Plaster of Paris which has more texture to it than using Baby Talc Powder (which can also be used). But I might give that a go too, then I would have a smoother texture paste as well. I enjoyed making that, so more will be done....<br />

This is my first Art Journal page... not quite finished but it has acrylics and a bit of pink Gelatos on the small script papers ( I'll do a new blog post with better photos when it's done).<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
And today my new Brushos arrived which are Pigment powders.... just add water..... can't wait to use them!<br />
<br />
Oh and a few spritzer bottles to add the powders to the water in the bottles.<br />

<br />
Back in June, 14th to be precise, I was at work (at school) on the playground and had a FALL!!<br />
<br />
WARNING:<br />
If you are a bit squeemish.... look away now!!!<br />
<br />
Yes...mmmm... wasn't really a little 'fall' I went down with quite a 'Whalp' cut my forehead open which required 32 stitches, 8 of them were internal to close it up.... I'm afraid it went down to the bone....<br />
<br />
Aaaaarrrrggghhh!!!<br />
<br />
I also twisted my knee before I landed on it and that has caused other problems with my hip now.<br />
<br />
So, all in all, it's taken some time to recover and I would say I'm about 95% of the way there.<br />
<br />
I will spare you the gruesome photos but here I am showing my scar off<br />
<br />

I still get a bit tired but I am trying to get back to normal.... ha ha... whatever that is!!<br />
<br />
<br />
On my road to recovery I've been a bit obsessed with Mixed Media/Art Journalling and have now decided to dabble in this genre!!!<br />
<br />
I've been a YouTube fanatic for weeks now watching all sorts of techniques and inspirational mixed media videos.<br />
<br />
So now I have a few bits and pieces to start me off<br />
<br />

<br />
This one has a few stamps and some lovely decorative paper bags...<br />
<br />
As an 'arty' person anyway, there are certain paints and cardmaking 'stuff' I already own... along with what Billie has too....<br />
<br />
So with all that... I have finally started some pages, some nearly finished but lots in my head.....<br />
<br />
My journey begins... with my FALL. ...<br />
<br />
My future posts will include journalling pages as I make them... 😊😊😊 so if you are interested you can come along .... on my journey into mixed media!<br />
<br />
<br />
As for beadmaking I hope to get back to it...... sooooooon! 😜<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Have a good day<br />

<br />
I decided to use some of my roses and I needed something to set them off.<br />

I had recently purchased some poly clay leaves from the very talented Helen Backhouse. Along with a bit of wire wrapping here's what I ended up with<br />

<br />
Things have shot up in the garden since our bit of rain last week and yesterday I realised my peony has some lovely big blooms this year. So I decided to snap them and bits of the garden.<br />

Hubbie has just arrived home and now got his garden hat on and is tying things back so I just took these in time... hee hee!! Lots of string would now be in these photos.<br />

The rose on the fence behind will be awash with red roses by this time next month, always by my daughter Billie's birthday on the 24th June. One or two have started to appear.... I love it and the clematis which runs through it will have big very pale pink flowers too.<br />

This is the view from my patio (excuse washing line I'm just about to put my washing out) which is much lower than the rest of the garden.... the 'hubster' terraced the garden when we originally moved in which is nearly 30yrs ago.<br />
<br />
He does most of the gardening now as he loves it.... I enjoy being in it and being foreman of where I want new things to go, of course! 😊<br />
<br />
So that's my garden in the sun today...<br />

<br />
I fired the torch up and first I had a little play at making some ball end headpins as this was practice for something else I am starting to work on (more about that soon)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And so I then made some more bud spike headpins with the Opalino glasses I hadn't used yet.<br />
<br />
I love the pink ones<br />

I think they will make lovely flowers as the yellow and Carnelian colour change the pink seems to a little but I will see if I can get it to do a more contrasting effect. ☺<br />

<br />
I am in flower mode as the weather has warmed up a little. What a Spring like day it's been!<br />
<br />
It's been lovely and bright here and I love to see the sun as well as various spring flowers trying to pop up through the ground as they spark into life.<br />
<br />
I bought some daffodils recently and WOW the smell was so wonderful it just filled the room.<br />
<br />
My tulips are all different colours I love them (my favourite)<br />
<br />
Inspiration for beads I think!!<br />
<br />
Here's a few I made recently<br />

It's a colour changer and I love it as it has pinks through to orange which is brilliant.<br />
<br />
I will use it for flowers I think it will look fab!<br />
<br />
And I had a little play and come up with this...... dumbells. I think I will shorten the wire seems a bit long.<br />

I was concerned that the glass would crack and yes I did lose one on another one so I just cut the cracked one off!<br />
<br />
I will get round to trying torch fired enamals as I think it might be easier.<br />
<br />
Thanks for popping in<br />

<br />
It's been a strange few weeks as I've been a bit 'out of sorts' I suppose!! <br />
<br />
Something to do with a near miss last week, with a car coming at me head on on my side of the road...... freaked me out... Big Time!! 😲😲😲<br />
<br />
This, I realised had an adverse effect on me and I have been suffering with a painful shoulder and neck and then added a stomach bug to my pain! So as you can imagine I was feeling very sorry for myself.... indeed! 😟😟😟<br />
<br />
I finally started feeling better this week my shoulder and neck have improved and my tummy finally calmed down.<br />
<br />
So time for a bit of wirework ...... I had some fun searching for beads to pair up for earrings I wanted to make to go with some outfits!!<br />
<br />
How can a jewellery and beadmaker go out and not have any jewellery to go with any of her wardrobe! <br />
<br />
Scandalous I tell you.....<br />
<br />
<br />
So here's what I have come up with so far....<br />
<br />

I love dangly earrings and I'm really happy with the way they turned out,<br />
considering I had them apart twice before I was happy with them. 😀<br />
<br />
I hope to have more to show you soon.<br />

I love red so was very happy to receive the red one.<br />
<br />
Now what to do.....<br />
<br />
I did leave it a bit late starting but I ended up making some deep red and cream coloured spacer beads to go with the heart.<br />
<br />
I found some resin black rose beads and some small red pearls and a few crystals. I decided on antique gold/brass findings and chain and my usual asymmetric style.<br />
<br />
So here it is<br />

<br />
So you need to be quick to enter as I will be closing my giveaway on my <a href="http://www.facebook.com/ChatElaineGlassCreations">ChatElaine Glass Creations</a> business page on fb tomorrow 12th February so it's just in time for Valentine's Day (well for UK participants anyway).<br />
<br />
These earrings are the prize.<br />

They were originally made for a Component giveaway challenge on an fb group called Artisans Create Together. The spear shaped polymer clay components in the centre were made by the lovely Helena Benkoczka of <span id="goog_379470522"></span><a href="http://www.aretobeadsjewellery.etsy.com/">Areto Beads and Jewellery Designs</a><span id="goog_379470523"></span> who was the sponsor of the challenge components for January.<br />
<br />
The polymer components I realised when places together forms a heart with a zigzag cut down the centre.<br />
<br />
So I loosely based the shape of the wire into a heart then wrapped the seed beads along the edge of the zigzag. They are then topped with a pair of my bells and finished with copper beads and my own handmade earwires.<br />

It has been some considerable time since I've been blogging and I am going to try my utmost to start again.<br />
<br />
I found that the blogger app just never worked very well for me but now I have a better phone I may be able to do a better job of it! <br />

<br />
<br />
So here goes ....<br />
<br />
What have I been doing in the last year or so...... mmmmm mainly concentrating on my beadmaking. I have had many online shows in facebook groups, as well as my Facebook page (ChatElaine Jewellery).<br />
<br />
I have now also created my own group called ChatElaine Glass Creations on facebook. This is a closed group with only a request to join facility so I can decide who to allow into the group to stop spamming and just have friends and customers that can view my work under no pressure or obligation to buy!!<br />
<br />
I will have my own Auction events from time to time, but purchasing or ordering can be done if you would like to as and when new items become available.<br />
<br />
So here are a few of the new things I've been doing<br />
<br />

My bell caps have proved quite popular and I'm trying to finish off orders right now. It's been a bit of a long haul as I was ill before Christmas (as usual when I was really busy of course), the backlog was getting to me a bit but I've ploughed through them this last week or so and I'm nearly there!! Sigh of relief!! </div>

Up until now I hadn't made a full rose only buds and a half rose. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Week 12</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">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.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">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</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">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.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">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!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">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!!</span><br />

But then I am biased!!! 80))</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">My Mum has many talents, she knits, she can make clothes and also she makes fabulously beautiful cross stitched pictures, cards and other bits and bobs over the years.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Last weekend a friend was getting married to her long term partner (finally) and I asked Mum if she would stitch a sampler for her. She loves pink and so that was the main colours in the sampler.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well I think she is clever, and Josie really liked it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I helped her reverse the heart design at the bottom so it could go in both corners, I choose what I want on it, the words and the colours and then she does the rest. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I got a silver frame for it and popped it in .... jobs a good un!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />

I can only write my blog on my laptop as I can't get pictures to load from my Samsung Tablet onto Blogger for some unknown reason. And as I am always on my tablet my blog gets a bit left behind because my laptop battery is completely fried and I need a new one, so my laptop is a bit of a chore at the moment.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">S</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">o here we are then Week 10 first</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I was actually off ill with a bit of a bug this particular week from work, but I did manage to put a pair of earrings together just before I was ill. I used some of my spiky pod like headpins in a deep dark blue CIM glass called Trade Winds, well originally I thought it was CIM Marine but when I checked the other day, I had it wrong, they are called Marine Spiky Pod Earrings, it doesn't matter as they are for me.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I used black patinated brass metal bead caps and beads along with black patinated wire which I used for the hooks but I think it could be copper wire, these came from Fallen Angel on Etsy. I have others which I intend to use very soon as well.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I couldn't sell these headpins as I had dropped them after a photo shoot, so I just had to keep them for myself, not that you can see the tiny scratch on them. Plus I need a pair of earrings in these colours for a top I don't have any jewellery for anyway!! I do enjoy making jewellery for myself but I just never seem to get round to it much anymore!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Right onto Week 11 then</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I am getting to my torch at least once or twice a week now, as I really am determined to get more beads made along with new designs in headpins, cabs, well anything I can come up with.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I am still practising with my flowers and thought I would have a little go at putting one onto a cab, not sure if its quite good enough just yet, its a work in progress....</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well now the answer is: there is only markings on one side of each half of the leaf shape.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I didnt use enough pressure so it only shows on one half of each side, I flipped the leaf to do the other side not swung it so I marked it on the same side but the other half of the leaf. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I hope that makes sense!!!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">^^^^^^ ----------- ^^^^^^</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I've been making headpins, I love making headpins --- so thought I would try some more leaves and just try out some shapes and markings to see how they come out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Well can you see the mistake I have made on these?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">So I thought I would have a little game with you, if you can see the mistake write it in the comments below.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Anyone can comment but if you have not got a google account you will need to tell me in your comment who you are and how I can contact you (email preferably).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">If there are more than one person with the right answer, I will pop you in the hat and pull out a winner.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">What will you win, well how about some headpins (not these - unless you really want them!!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I will make some new ones for you or you can choose from a few others I have, if you prefer!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">You have until Friday 6th March by 5pm GMT to comment.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Happy guessing!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Wanted to use a nice Red glass because I had a few new ones and hadn't had a play with them yet, mostly CIM glasses, my favourite type of glass, this one is called Radio Flyer its opaque on the rod but when I pulled the petals -- Wow it was gor-ge-ous!!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It turned transparent and started to 'strike' fairly quickly! Most red transparent glass has to be 'struck' which means you have to cool the glass then reheat it to bring out the true colour!! I've always had trouble with 'striking' reds especially, they never seem to stay a good red, they can go a semi clear which can be quite annoying, just my own inexperience and lack of patience mainly!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This one was a dream, I LOVE IT!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I will be using it more often, me thinks!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I also had a go at a sort of tulip which didn't really work, but the more I practice the more I learn!! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Also made some spiky pod headpins with my 'confritti' decoration on (this is frit - tiny chips of different colours of glass), which I leave slightly raised, basically its not melted all the way into the base.

<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yep!! I used the wrong green for the base colour, so now got to try and find the right green for the darker one and make more of the lighter one too. Ha ha!! Thats the trouble with artificial light, can't always tell!!! Think I need a daylight lamp up in my workshop!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />

I wanted to make some headpins with leaves and then I had a go at pulling some petals for a flower, they came out quite small and so thought I would try making a headpin flower, not sure if its any specific type of flower but it was fun trying.</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I also had a go at making some rosebuds too.

<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Right then, I was booked for a lesson with Laney of <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/IzzyBeads">Izzybeads</a> to learn how to make glass flowers and leaves on Tuesday of half term, this was my birthday present.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She lives quite a long way from me, she is in Hereford which is practically in Wales, about 4 hours drive away! I live in Bedfordshire!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Off I went Monday as I was staying the night in a hotel on the Monday so no driving on the Tuesday morning except for about 15mins down the road, but I was driving back that night after my lesson. So a long day ahead.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had a great time, we chatted on Monday into the night, catching up and sharing anecdotes and also showing me what we were going to tackle the next day!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was really excited!! Her work is amazing!! I had been waiting to do this for a long while now so I really was going to enjoy myself but I was quite nervous too.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is what we both made, Laney's demo beads and mine mixed in together. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The yellow rose was my first ever rose with a white rosebud and different leaf shapes to start with, for practice of pulling different shaped petals/leaves. The other roses and the pansy are Laney's of course!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had great fun, quite pleased with what I had achieved, so now I'm home I have lots of practising to do.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I recommend having lessons in lampworking especially if you want to improve your abilities, I learnt lots of tips as well as how to put the flowers together and Laney sent me some tutorials to practice with too.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thank you Laney for such a fab time xxx♥xxx see you at FO in April.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Til next time</span><br />

So now it is christened!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I thought I would give it some of my 'trails' treatment in the decoration, with some nice orange and blue glass combination, I have to admit that adding murrini depends on how you feel. I didn't do a particularly good job of it but its there just not very noticeable. I added some black stringer (trails) with the dot on dot decoration and this is how my first attempt came out.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I thought it wasn't too bad for my first go, it took quite a bit of glass to fill the press as it is deep. I will be happy using it again.</span><br />
