And then there were 65...

...beads - I really think I am starting to get the hang of playing with fire!!
I have grouped them into spangle sets, with a couple of 'spares' in the bottom left corner.
The top 3 bunches will even spangle a pair of bobbinsVBG!

I am going to make as many as I can over the next week and a half, then take them to the tutor to get them annealed in the kiln, before they are put on bobbins.
I still have to decide what I will make for my final bookmark in this round of the 25 motif challenge, but I dare say I will sign up for round number 3 after I am done...I am looking at a collection of coaster sized motifs...Christmas gifts for next year maybe??
Short and sweet today...please enjoy!

They are all so pretty! I'm sure I'd burn myself if I played with fire, so I think I'll stick to thread, shuttles, and decoupage glue!

The beads are wonderful!

As an old (as in years ago!) stained glass artist, I am so impressed! I never tried this type of glass work.
