This is the result of a bead-making day last July, trying out some organic glass colours that Kerry at Affordable Inspirations sent me. It is always so exciting to try new colours so every time I order I make sure I include whimsical colours, ones that are not just repeats of what I have had before. Sandstone and Spanish Leather in the barrel, then in no particular order, Olive, Mink, Mudslide, Stone Ground, Marmorin and Butternut round the outside. The left end beads were Striking Orange which gives a fabulous red and I found easier to use and strike reliably than Striking Red.
I have always been obsessed with creation and colour. These days I play with glass and fabric as much of the time as I can. The rest is taken up with a little paid architectural work, family and playing with our two cats.
