This set of five beads are a bit different from my usual.  A base of purple frit, they were shaped and twisted and finally fumed in gold.  The gold fumes have turned them bronze but, if you look very carefully you can see the base colours peeping through.

Each bead is approx 18mm x 21mm and has been made on a small mandrel.  

Light red is the base for this set of ten beads.  They have been encased in a nice sparkly clear glass and a randem trail of clear wanders around each bead.   This has been left partly raised to catch the light.   Size is approx 14/15mm across x 10/11mm hole to hole.  Made on a small mandrel.

A set of nine red frit beads.  Each bead has a white base covered with red frit, then encased in a sparkly clear.  The red varies from a light red to a dark red with the white peeping out occasionally.   A randem trail of clear glass wanders around each bead, which has been left partly raised to  catch the light.    Size approx. 10/13mm hole to hole x 15/16mm across.  Made on a small mandrel.

A harliquin set of lentil and tyre shape beads in autumnal shades of dark ruby red, purple and green.   A lentil bead and a tyre bead in each colour with contrasting  dotts.  The lentils are 18mm and the three tyre beads are 15 - 16 mm x 10 - 11 mm hole to hole.  All made on a small mandrel 

A set of five pillow shaped beads with six contrasting spacers here.  The five pillows are transparent aquamarine, overlaid with a darker transparent blue frit.  Silver leaf was melted into the glass before the frit was added giving lovely, silvery, snails trails over the beads.  The six spacers are the base glass of of aquamarine etched for a soft, contrasting effect.

Three of the pillows are 21mm square and two are 15mm square.  The spacers are 11 - 12mm x 9 - 10mm.
All made on a small mandrel

Five tyre shape beads with a base of the silver glass auroa and encased in clear and glowing with whispy, pastel tones of yellow green, and blue. Clear dots cover the surface to catch and reflect the light.  Sizes are 15 - 17mm (including the dots) x 10 -11mm holel to hole.

Made on a small mandrel.

More Glam Rock in the shape of five 18mm lentil shape beads.  A very pale green transparent glass was used for these beads and a squiggle and dot design applied.  The final gold bath gives them a golden sheen, with shades of green and pink sparkling through..
