I made new flowers. Like new design a lot, they looks very delicate and airy . On the down side: this beads are very fragile.

 

Shards making day :-)

Last week I took a class with wonderful Astrid Riedel. We were learning how to paint with enamels. I absolutely love this class!

 

Murrini making process

Some beads I made with help from  Claudia TrimburPpagel book (http://www.glassbeadtrip.com/en/)

Bought a press for making flower petals, from this etsy shop https://www.etsy.com/shop/Lampworktoolscom?ref=pr_shop_more
Now can not stop making flowers :-)

I made some 3d flower murrini with Astrid Riedel tutorial.

I love SodaLimeTimes magazine. Lots of good tutorials in it.

I was experimenting with flower press. I tried to add flowers to a big bead, and it works really good bead and flowers did not crack. I do not like this particular bead, but it opens a lot of possibilities.

   

Happy Valentine's day! :-)

I got my beads from Lisa Fletcher workshop in the mail today :-) very happy on how they turn out.

I never made beads this big (except hollow beads). This one is 2 inches long

I keep working on the beads Lisa Fletcher teach us. Love her beads a lot, always was admiring them on http://www.lampworketc.com
Here is my latest creations :-)

and this two did  not turn out very good: one is too dark and second broke in the kiln
