Sets, Vessels and a Cabochon

I've had a chance to get some torching done lately, and have really enjoyed the time. I've started making hollow tabs, and I'm working on expanding my sets.

I've decided that I'm going to go that bit extra with my beads, adding more details. I feel it's time to.

Here's a peek at some of the lampwork items I've created recently.Hope you like them!!

Cheers
Anne :D

Designer Quest

On the beadingforum.com.au we have a 'Designer Quest' where everyone that enters gets the same beads and findings and has to make something from them. Well the start date for posting photos was today, and do you think I had even looked at my beads in the couple of months we had for designing? Nooooo...... lol

So yesterday was a made dash to make something up. I'm still not sure about it but oh well, it'll have to do. I made a necklace and earrings. This Quests sponsor was Crystal Flair and we received some red aventurine gemstones and ceramic beads, as well as the necessary findings. I've never used ceramic beads before so I thought I'd enter and check them out. I found them very hard to use as I like all my beads to be equal in size etc and of course ceramic beads aren't that!!

Anyway, here's the pic of my creations using the Designer Quest pack, let me know what you think!

Cheers,
Anne :D
