Hiya!

I need your help!!
My school wants to send me to Canada in two years and I'm fine with that! The only problem is that I can't live a year without making beads...

So do you know if there are any studios near Laval that would let me make beads?

Thank you everyone!

Here comes the first set!

I was actually aiming for a much brighter shade for the base, but I like this peachy colour too.

Here's the pic-link (click on the pic!) :

I have some great news! I just got accepted in a super company for an internship after passing an exam! I start in July and finish in December. Here's their website if you want to have a look : hypios.com (cut and paste it in your browser)

No new beads until I get home otherwise...

Yay! The tools have arrived!

Any minute now a parcel is going to arrive for me... I'm so excited! I've been waiting for it to come for a week or so now.
You're probably wondering what I'm going on about. Whenever I miss my torch and glass like now, I tend to go through a spending phase... And among all the things I've bought recently, there are a couple of new lampworking tools! I bought them from Cgbeads on Etsy and they're called Cg-Beadrollers. If you want to see, here's a link, I don't know whether I'm allowed to use her pics or not : cgbeads.etsy.com
Have a look and imagine what I could make with them! :) Feel free to send me ideas!

Hey!

I've been looking at my past bead sets looking for inspiration for the next time I get to the torch and I wanted to show you my favourite sets :

This one is so delicate :


I don't make many pressed beads, but I really like these ones :


A simple copper green set :) :


And the traditionnal encased beads :


What beads do you like best?

Thank god school is nearly finished! Three more weeks of annoying project partners (well there's only one really) and stress day and night!
I can't wait to get back home and go back to bead making, so many ideas are floating my head! I'm planning on making lots of colourful encased florals, and different shaped beads with the new tools I've ordered. I've also ordered a silver lining tool to line my beads with silver tubing.

Can't wait to be able to show you photos!

I'm doing this to empty my shop before I fill it up again when I get to make beads again in June. ;)

Hiya,

Just wanted to let you know that for the moment you can't vote because I haven't had the time to add the page. However, if you want to be added to the hat for the competition of the month, send me an email!

I think that maybe it's time to tell you who the winner of April's voting competition is!
Well done Lisa from Georgia!

Here are the prizes I sent for the March winners:

I'm really excited about this new website, everytime I come back, there are new comments on my guestbook! :D
And I so can't wait to get back to Normandy in June to make beads, I'm itching to get to my studio... Custom orders are piling up and I have so many ideas that want to be made into reality!
Today I saw a book that was full of color ideas a bit like www.colourlovers.com, I'm thinking of buying it because it was so pretty.
I'm at school at the moment, we're planning on working all night!
Have a nice evening :)
