I had a bit of fun yesterday making lampwork beads. My mental list always includes beads for red, black and white necklaces. Then I am free to do anything else at all. So I try to practise everything. The big disappointment was in trying to flatten the green stuff I inadvertently melted in part of the flower petals on the large purple bead middle right. Grr. Concentrate on where the heat is being applied, green on first and all sorts of other self-admonitions. Son K named some of them Totoro beads so I am now going to have to make a special piece to display them in. I wonder...
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.
