Aquarium murrini gallery.....

Morning, I have enough new ocean themed/aquarium themed murrini now to merit a cheeky little post about them, strangely none of them are fish!

To the left is a large focal necklace made with Mandy Mudcrab murrini and Red Inside-Out Barnacle murrini.

Next up some bumpy tide pool bracelet beads featuring Terry Turtle murrini with his cute patterned shell and also with Blue Inside-Out Barnacle murrini.

This little chap is my absolute favourite, Harry the Hermit Crab. Looks can be deceiving, he is likely the most complex murrini I have made to date, he is certainly made from the largest successfully pulled gather.

Here is sweet Sammy Seahorse - it took three tries and a full days torching to work out how to get him looking just right.

This set features some rather cool conch shells, if you put one to you ear and maybe, just maybe  you could hear the sounds of the Ocean.....

 Last but not least is this delicate little two tone Scallop shell murrini. All of these and more are available in my Lampy supplies shop (link below). There are definitely going to be more ocean themed murrini along soon, they are so much fun to make!

Mini Mo' January 2013 - Turtle Bay and Mandy Mudcrab

The first collection I have put together for the new year is called Turtle Bay. I have used Effetre pastel Dark Sky Blue, Light Ivory, Aqua Transparent 034, Petrol Green 318, Vetrofond Light Grass Green 216, CiM Split Pea and CiM Dirty Martini. There are two different murrini turtles and Inside-out Blue Barnacle murrini. The shards have been laced with silver glitter Pixie Dust.

The first bead I have to show is this multi-layered petal bead with wraps of Turtle Bay twistie under encasement.

This chunky necklace has Turtle and Blue Barnacle murrini under deep encasement.

last up for Turtle Bay is this pretty trio of Bracelet Charm beads in  Effetre light turquoise transparent with two kinds of Turtle murrini and Inside-out Blue Barnacle murrini.

The second collecting is based around a cheeky red Mudcrab murrini called Mandy. I've used Effetre Carrot Red 424, Yellow Ocher 460 and Light Ivory with Mandy Mudcrab murrini and Inside-out Red Barnacle murrini. The shards have been laced with fine silver.

Here is a trio of Bracelet Charm beads in gorgeous Efftre Dark Teal with Mandy Mudcrab murrini and Red inside-out Barnacle murrini,

This chunky necklace shows what Mandy and Red Barnacle murrini look like under deep encasement.

On the right here is a large layered encased focal using the twistie from the Many Mini Mo' collection.
