Following the purchase of a Julie Fountain Tutorial...I'm hooked on buttons!

I've made so many button beads now! And I adapted the tutorial to make rings too!!!!

Christmas bargains on my website

I've been having a count down to Christmas on my website, with one iten reduced to 99p every week! They've been proving very popular with some selling within 5 minutes of me adding them!!!

This week is the last week, so one item has been reduced from £10 to 99p!
How long will it last.....

Even more Shamballa's!!!

I just can't make these quick enough. They are flying off my craft stalls and my website www.purplecobwebs.co.uk!

Lampwork Lesson

I had the oportunity to spend a day in the studio of Red Hot Sal (Sally Carver) and receive some amazing tuition!

When I got home I couldn't wait to practice what I'd seen, so out came the trusty torch, the propane, the oxygen, and the kiln, and here are a few of my creations! Would love to here your comments.
