Glass beads

Well I never thought I'd ever actually MAKE a glass bead.... how cute are these??

The four beads I made

...and the same four beads from a different angle!

I made the black and white stringer, but had trouble making a bigger bead, so my friend took over!!
Made another staircase spiral necklace with black, turquoise and red beads.

And for my Uncle who is 80 - a special golf ball card!

Well, how did you make the beads? Did it involve a kiln?

hi Tom - yes it did - I used the kilnn to anneal the beads (it stops them shattering!!)
