I want to melt glass!

Good morning everyone, been a busy few months with Uni work, not much time for playing with glass...have decided to have a day a week now of getting creative...all work and no play!!!...so today is shedio day, mandrels are dipped and ready, kiln is on, so mug of coffee and away I go...lets hope for success after 8 months away from my torching! xxx

I is back!

Thought I would resurrect my blog ahead of some exciting news! I will be back very soon and hopefully with something to blog about :))))) x

Law!

Well it's ages since I did a post in here, my course is going well, but I need to make beads again too, so have decided that after xmas I am getting back to it properly, all work and no play are making Mandy a dull girl. Started getting christmassy too, put the tree up and have actually now started shopping! It's snowing too, which is unusual for Liverpool, looks lovely out there, but glad I'm inside. xxx

Good Morning :)

Not been blogging much! Very slack of me..will get back to it..been so busy lately with bead making, decorating, studying, and life thast I don't seem to have a spare minute.
Anyway have a great day my little blogging buddies wherever you may be :)

Beads today

Well after the sewing bug has had hold of me for a while...I am finally back at the beads....new heater has warmed the shedio up enough for me to venture out. Had a play with implosion beads yesterday, great fun and lovely results, so it's more of the same today, hopefully better as I learnt a few little tricks along the way yesterday.....
My first proper doll is gorgeous will post pics in a bit....very pleased with her, she's called Viola, and is the first of many I think. It's very satisfying to sew, something incredibly relaxing about it. Be back later....M xxx
