Finally, i got some time to make a few pieces, in this photo, i have used a large lampwork focal made by clare scott, she is a wonderful lampwork artist, i have used a heavy gauage wire in sterling silver, then the final piece is on hand dyed silk ribbon. Hopefully i will have this piece for sale on my etsy site in the few days. I have had a great weekend, the weather has been beautiful, had a BBQ with my lovely family for my hubby's b-day, but now the weather is horrible, thunder and lighten, hopefully it will get better at the weekend again,
