I don't seem to have achieved much I can show in the last couple of weeks - another Christmas pressie and a couple of special Christmas cards - but I did make myself a sparkly bracelet and a dragon's egg ring, along with a bracelet commissioned by my lovely stepmum. Oh yes, and a winter-themed necklace - Frost - which will be appearing on the necklaces page shortly. I'm still on a lampwork-buying ban, so it was time to get out some of my precious lampwork stash and have a play. There are extra snowball beads (made by the talented Trudi Doherty of www.glitteringprize.co.uk), so I shall probably rustle up a pair of earrings with them. I'm still desperate to have a go at lampworking (making glass beads in a flame) myself, but I've been absolutely forbidden by my otherwise remarkably long-suffering hubby. Given that I managed to remove the tip of my own thumb whilst merely cutting a lettuce, I can't really blame him ...
