lampwork beads, making stringers, and bracelets using all my own lanpwork beads

Today I finally made a very nice bead with 6 dots within dots.  The base is white, the first dots are yellow and the second dots are green.

Tomorrow I will see if I can make another one like it.  It would be nice to be able to make matching beads for a change.  So far I have only made singles.

Today I also finally made some very nice straight stringers too Yaaayyy

It seems the youtube videos I have been watching are finally sinking in.  Although it really does take a lot of practice even if you know how it is supposed to be done.

Two days ago I made 3 bracelets using wire and my beads I have made.  They are for two of my sisters and my wonderful Daughter in Law.  Shhhh don't tell, they are for Christmas gifts.

Here is a small hand full of beads, they are my first useable ones.  But still, they are not as nice as I would like.  They all have their glaring imperfections  but they look surprisingly niiiice when put together in these 3 bracelets.

These are the three bracelets I have made from my beads for Christmas gifts.  As you can see, I still have no control over size as yet.  Working on it :)
