Bead by Larry Brickman.329 viewswww.brickmanartglass.com

I went looking for Larry's site and found that he has suffered a recent health scare. So while his site isn't up and running at the moment, I'll leave the link here anyway for future reference.

The December issue of Bead & Button will feature this bead on its cover and contain an article on Larry.

To those of you who didn't get there, but really wanted to, what can I say?? You should be kicking yourself... or at least giving yourself a severe talking to so that it doesn't happen again. lol

If what I hear is correct, then there will be 3 similar shows next year. Melbourne in May, Brisbane in June & Sydney in Oct. Woo Hoo!!!

Beaders Dinner on Sunday night142 viewsYes Cathy, I'm putting this picture in anyway, even though you were being silly. lol

Thanks to Nancy for organising this dinner and for finding a restaurant who was happy to open just for us. They served the most delightful food too. Just ask Anne who ate and drank everything that she normally wouldn't. Meat, eggs, milk etc, etc... She was a very naughty girl, but oh so much fun... ;-)

Purple Floral Lampwork Bead by Kerry Harper.jpg
Purple Floral Lampwork Bead by Kerry Harper197 viewsThe first bead I bought at the show was this one from Kerry.

I had picked this bead and the following dichroic one before Kerry told me that she had only been making beads for 12 months - and she is using a hothead!!

It almost made me feel like giving up bead making altogether! But I sorted myself out and am now even more determined to be able to do this well myself... ;-)

Good work Kerry...

Floral Lampwork Bead with Dichroic Core by Kerry Harper329 viewsMy second bead purchased was also from Kerry Harper.

I have not had much success with Dichroic, so I was very impressed with this bead as well.
Blue Floral Lampwork Bead by Kerry Harper.jpg
Another Bead by Kerry Harper333 viewsThis one was bought for me for my birthday by Anita. Thank you Anita.

I was actually going to buy this one myself when I was having a look at Kerry's beads, but I decided to stick with purples and pinks...
Inside Out Bead by Anne Clifton.jpg
One of Anne Cliftons' famous Inside Out Beads194 viewsNow, I'm not into yellow, but I just could not resist this bead. (And Anne didn't have any other colours left by the time I got around to buying anything off her...)

I am amazed at how Anne gets the glass to swirl inside the bead like she does. So impressed in fact, that I think a trip to Perth is on the cards... lol

I'm sure Deano would like to go visit his birthplace of Kalgoorlie... ;-)

The Reject Pile133 viewsHaving to make 8 of the same bead using only red and white proved a bit of a challenge for me.

I don't know how everyone else went with theirs, but here are 65 of mine that didn't make the cut.
Kathryn demoing a hollow bead.jpg
Kathryn demoing a hollow bead198 viewsMy very first glass beadmaking class was with Kathryn Wardill in Brisbane in September/October 2003. I had seen some Lampwork Beads on eBay for the first time about a month or two prior, & although I had just quit my job, when I saw an advertisement for the class on the website of Albion Glass in Brisbane, I signed up. I was only going to do the 5 day beginners class, but ended up staying on & doing the three day advanced class afterwards. My entire final pay went into it, but it was money well spent.
