they’re fab. Question that’s been bothering at mefor ages. How long does it trake you to make a single bead?  I have no idea of the processes invoklved or the time scale at all, and your beads always look so beautiful and intricate.

Can i ask how easy was it to learn to make these sort of beads. I am very jealous knowing it allows you to be 100% unique with your work

I am really liking the last but one picture of the pink / purple set. Stunning

Ooh tricky questions!!!
Gaia a single coloured glass bead can take as little as ten minutes, but more detailed ones can take 40 minutes or more! Then there’s the set up time, the 8 hours in the kiln, and the cleaning time!!! So it’s not a quick process, but I think it’s worth it!!!

And re learning, well how long is a piece of string! I’ve been doing it for a year now and do about 3 hours at the torch per week, plus I’ve done a few courses. Bit I’ve still got loads and loads to learn!!!!
