Jane, your bead work is stunning....I can just see one of your pretty girl bears accessorised with

them...have you thought of combining the two in some way? I too have a passion for jewellery in all

its forms, and these beads are absolutely beautiful.....do let us know when you are ready to sell

them!!!

Absolutely amazing Jane! I am in awe of the beads and their beauty! You are such a talented lady and I am glad you are still making bears. I cannot wait until you start selling your jewlery!

I am so envious, lampworking is so cool! Your beads are gorgeous, they're not good enough to sell?? really??

I agree, not enough hours in the day. Life itself is too short - I want to do too many things!

I agree re: bear eyes, you think you'd ever make any?

I wish each day had about 40 hours in it - and I had the energy to survive those days!

Beautiful beads  Jane. Is this the type of glass work that you can make little animals and weaved glass baskets and such?

Those are beautiful Jane. You can do both by making little lampwork bead necklaces for your bears. Kill two birds with one stone  bear_tongue
I think it's the artists in us that make us want to be a Jack of all Trades & a master of every single one of them, but there reallyi s only so much time in a day.
Great job.
Big Hugs,

Wow - your bead work is wonderful Jane.
I know what you mean with not having enough hours in a day! and hope that you manage to find time
for both your bears and beads.

Thanks everyone - no I won't be making glass eyes.  Just beads - glass eyes don't have holes in them, and I'm only making beads that have a hole right through.  I don't think it would be worth the time and learning curve to figure out how to make the glass eyes.

Matilda - Yes some "lampworkers" make little animals, but I think the woven glass baskets is another type of glass work.  I have purchased a few glass fishes and horses from some of the lampworkers on ebay, and they are just incredible.  It will be quite a while before I tackle anything like that.

Wonderful creations.  I have been doing some beading and love working with the colors.  There are too many kool things in this world to try and not enough hours in the day do them. bear_wacko
