Profile Information

What is your favorite beading activity?
Stringing, Wirework & Lampworking
Other beading activities you enjoy or want to learn about?
I want to learn fusing glass techniques, this is next on my list of things to try, as I already know how to do stained glass and have loads of glass I can use. I have now purchased my new KILN and so can have a little dabble along with enamelling which I learnt at college, PMC and silversmithing which I will also in the future incorporate into my work at some point, I love to try new things.
About Me:
I have been beading and making jewellery for over 17years. My webstie is up and running and I also sell my beads and bridal jewellery and tiaras. I have listed my new web address below so you are welcome to go take a look and recently opened my Etsy store too, selling my beads and soon my jewellery too.

Finished It!!

I finished the tutorial and sent it off yesterday. Just have to wait til December to see it in print! It took me ages to do but I got there in the end. Hope the photos come out alright.

I have a large wrist you see 8" to be exact which makes it difficult to get some things to fit which is why when I want s… Continue
