I've been making beads for around three years now. I'm not sure that I have a signature style yet as I like to experiment with different styles, but perhaps my particular style might be emerging with my newer focal beads!

The beads are made using "soft" or soda-lime glass.

Recently I'm enjoying making "organic" style focals - sometimes reminiscent of rock strata or other organic materials, and sometimes bright and funky. Often this involves playing with the glass and seeing what happens! Here are some focal beads straight out of the kiln...

One of my favourite things is to make "critter" or creature beads... my specialilty is cats, and lately I've made quite a few sheep, but you'll also see a few fish and other experiments.

It's fun to experiments with more "sculptural" beads... here's a little experiment: Santa's Jacket!

Sometimes very simple designs can be very effective... I make "Simplicity" floral beads which are raised flowers on a plain base.

Simply styled round beads... Blue Tile Beads, Ocean Tangle and Honey Crunch.

Sometimes, what looks deceptively simple is quite difficult to achieve! I adore these Dragon's Hide Beads, created with frit and silver leaf.
