Look out for jewellery made out of my tiger beads. I actually made a batch of these in December and turned them into jewellery but with the Christmas rush, they just didn't get photographed. I sold everything that I made with them and my sister (Sandy, the one who doesn't make jewellery herself) dropped some heavy hints when she saw a pair of earrings so she got an extra pressie from Santa.

I have made some more of these today so I should have lots of them to make into jewellery.

These lime bubble beads have come out well and these will also become jewellery but these are brand new for 2009. You get the bubbles by rolling a small bead in baking soda and then encasing with another layer of glass - the heat and glass forces the baking soda to bubble up creating this great effect.

I have experimented with a very pale pink colour today and in the crystal shape instead of round. I am waiting for them to come out of the kiln to see how they turn out - if they're as lovely as I think, I will make a big batch tomorrow
