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.

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 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.

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...

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... ;-)

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.

The Mirus Beads challenge for August 2005 - Alice in Wonderland.98 viewsAlice peering over the mushroom at the hookah smoking caterpillar.
I had the brilliant idea to make these multi-piece beads. Remind me not to attempt this again unless I have a kiln. This was the 2nd Alice I made and her skirt broke whilst taking her off the mandrel.
The first Alice was too tall and skinny. I suppose I could have entered her as the 'growing Alice'. lol
The signed blue mushroom was a perfect find at a Antiques Fair that was in town for the week.

My 2005 Mirus Beads Valentines Exchange Bracelet99 viewsI have been on a roll lately. I spent a couple of hours this morning finishing off this bracelet. It contains some of the beads I received in the Valentines Exchange and I included some of my beads that were left over from the 80 odd that I made... The faces, the heart, the cylindrical "Love" and the small square with hearts are mine.

The first beads I ever Made - September/October 2003259 viewsI quit my job and spent my money on a 5 day Beginners Bead Making Class with Kathryn Wardill in Brisbane.
NOTE: I had other reasons for quitting my job - it wasn't so that I could earn an income from my beads... It doesn't work that way... lol
