May 2008 - part 2!

Wow, I even had to make a part 2 in my collection! It's just so much... But all so pretty ;)



I'm really into the dichroid beads right now, just love how it shines...



And I still love the combination of black and sweet pink...





Or for that matter, lime green and sweet pink!!



Whoopsie!



This is a new color pink I tried - I like it!

And what about retro?


I finally found the right temperature to anneal reduced beads in the kiln - whow, that's probably a whole lot of words you don't recognize... Well, it keeps them from breaking :)





And one more, in my favorite colors of last winter!

Made by Suus @ Totem

I've never really seen my stuff for sale at Totem because I usually leave Oman after I drop off my things at Susan. Today we had a peek of my stuff for sale in a REAL shop. Cool!

These pictures where taken quite a while ago, before Susan redecorated her shop again last Christmas









This is the new collection, now available





Hope you all get a chance to enjoy it too!

Anouk bead

I won this beautiful bead in a lottery on HGGF it's made by Troll Lover ( Also named Anouk ) She makes the most amazing beads using beautiful silver glass. I'm the proud owner of this bead and made it into a necklace instantly.

A tiny update

It's been quite a while, but I just found some time to torch again...

Leaned how to make an implosion bead from Peter Minson, during his workshop.


And a necklace for my classmate.

Moving Down Under

On November 19th 2007 I moved from the cold Netherlands to the hot Perth, Australia. Because of this, my bead- and jewelry making supplies are temporarily in between continents. At this moment, I hope my stuff is in Singapore, on it's way to Fremantle.



As soon as I start beadmaking again, I will send in new jewelry.

So for now, it's just me and my Koala bear.
