First beads for April.....

New work...... 

I am working hard on making matched pairs of beads on the same mandrel...

fairly simple designs in bright colours.

Also I have recently been making a lot of encased ammonite beads, so loving the colours in this one!

I bought an impression plate with a butterfly motif (designed for use on metal sheet rather than glass) and used it to make these shank buttons but am not convinced the texture is deep enough.

Last up a bit of wall storage that I bought in ikea recently, it does a great job of organising my graphite tools.
