A substantial set of three 25mm lentils and five smaller lentils decorated with silver, frit and metallic glass stringer.  In shades of peach and blue.

A little set of five 16mm rounds decorated with glass shards and murrini (because my friend Kaz Baildon came to stay so I was thinking of her when I made these!)

These beads are very much influenced by the work of German and Dutch beadmakers, particularly Michou Pascale Anderson (look her up, her work is stunning - ohhhh, those little fishies ...).

I love the vibrancy of the bright opaques with the black comic book lines and the mixture of murrini, dots and dashes.

This was the first set I made in this style - and the green beads were the very first.  I think you can see the evolution of the idea (and also my skill at using very fine stringer!) as the beads progress.

Six 22mm lentils with seven spacers

Continuing the Continental theme, I fancied playing with a different shape idea - and I love the irregularity of this set.

Six "triangles" with seven spacers - the largest triangle measures approx 23mm wide, the smallest approx 19mm.

And finally, a set of four chunky rounds in the same bright colours, but the decoration on these is a little more restrained!

Rounds measure approx 16mm, with spacers.

A coordinated set of five 22mm coin shaped beads in turquoise with purple, yellow and raku decoration.

I love making these textured beads, they're a great way to get to know a new frit blend.

Seven 16mm chunky beads.

A set of 8 14mm rounds in my favourite summery colour palette, with spots.  Made on a 2mm mandrel.

These beads are also available to order from my Sunspots page and can be etched if desired.

Five silvered beads that don't quite match!

A set of three 16mm beads in my Colourfetti style - the base is light blue and the murrini flowers are deep blue with lime green centres.  The four spacers are decorated with a toning frit.

Five beads measuring approx 16mm wide.  Encased white base decorated with beautiful rainbow effect murrini (by Julie Haveland Beer) and tiny dots.  With 4 useful etched spacers.

These lentil sets are so easy to use in your jewellery designs.

Seven 20mm lentils in soft blues and browns, lightly etched.

Seven 20mm lightly etched in soft brown and orange.

A lovely girly set of 12 blue beads with tiny yellow dots and pretty rosebuds, finished off with a handshaped heart.

The centre focal bead measures approx 24mm wide.

Another pretty set in sunniest yellow with pale blue, and pretty rosebuds. 12 beads, the centre focal measures approx 25mm wide.

This is a sweet little set of my seaside-y beads.   The photos show both sides of the beads so you can see that the centre focal has a flattened back and the bead with the turquoise starfish is actually a button.  The other bead is a shell, and there's two turquoise spacers as well.

Seven chunky 15mm rounds with raised frit, in light transparent amber.
