Last saturday I attended a workshop from Dora Schubert. She's a wonderful glass-artist and I really like her beads. She's got an amazing stringercontrol and I really like the combinations of texture/design and colors.

She also turned out to be a great teacher as well. I had a wonderful day, it's always nice to meet fellow-lampworkers in real instead of "speak" with them on the forums, we laughed a lot but most of all we learned a lot and now al I need is practice, practice and more practice...

Here's a grouppicture from the ladies that took the workshop. Dora is the lady in the purple sweater and Miriam who organised the workshop wears the bright pink blouse. She also made the pictures (more to see if you click on the link)

These are some of the beads I made after attending the workshop of Dora Schubert. I was impressed by the size of Dora's beads and tryed to make mine bigger also. I'm still looking to find the right size for me thow. Small size still is very comfortable for me but increasing the size results in more "canvas" to make a nice design, guess I need to practice some more ;)

Here also a set wich I think turned out to be a beautiful colorcombination:

Yesterday I spend a lot of time making beads for some beadswaps I am taking parth in. I ended my day playing around with some of the new glassfrit's I bought and that's when I made these two. This was the second time I made fish-beads, the first one I made unfortunately lost his tale because I dropped it shortly after it was released from the mandrel...
