Glass Beads

About 4 years ago I took a lampwork bead course.  I really enjoyed it but was to scared to do it in the basement of the house becouse of the propane tank, so I never kept it up after the 2 day course.   I did how ever buy a basic starter kit thinking that I will be doing it.
So 4 years go by and I run into a friend that has been doing it and says to come by and she will give me a refresher on how to make them.
Well after spending 4 hours with her and making lots of boboo's I made these 4 beads.

They are really bad but at least it got me thinking of a way of trying to practice at making them again.
So the weather has been extremly nice and I decided to practice outside under one of our costco tents where we park our car.

And this is my next set.

Still needs a lot of improvment but way better than day 1 and this was I think only took me 2 hours to make these little guys:)

3rd set

I am just using glass I purchased with my starter kit so I really don't know what everything will turnout like when I am making the beads so it is all a surprise.  I think this took me over 2 hrs to make.

I like the way that these guys turned out.
Okay last set

 

These guys are really tiny,but I think they are cute♥

Anyways just wanted to share these with you as I was so excited that I actually made some glass beads after 4 years lol!
I just need to find a way to make them over the winter so I can keep improving

Have a great weekend everyone!
