Updates post

Bit of round up post (that's right, whoopie pies get a whole post to themselves, everything else is shoved into one shared post. Priorities people!)

First news: I managed to get a tutorial into Beads and Beyond this month (June issue) which was lovely to see - I used lampwork beads by June of Beaujolais Beads to make a diamond motif bracelet. Here's a variation, also using her beads:

Lampwork bracelet


Second thing: I'm still enjoying these carved beads, so more are going up in my shop and the Etsy shop. They're quite calming to make, and I hope they're pretty to look at too...












Third item: Yeah, there is no third item. Oh wait, how about a plug for an awesome vegan cake service (there've been a few birthdays lately), Vegan Cakes Direct. I normally do my own baking, but sometimes it's a treat to receive something pre-baked *G*

  1. Ooh, I saw your tute whilst on holiday last week - hubby doesn't get why I get all excited because I 'know' Hazel! Well done you, I thought it was really pretty. :)

    (Still no idea what whoopie pies are - must go and look it up!)

  3. *G* I do the same Louise - I point out lampworkers in magazines and tell people 'I've talked to them online!' They're about as impressed as your husband was :D

    (Whoopie pies are made of scoops of cake batter dropped in little mounds onto a tray for baking...then you take two of the little 'cakes' and sandwich something between them. I would have named them 'cake sandwiches', but 'whoopie pie' it is *G*)


    Thank you Deci - I'm unreasonably excited about it *G*
