My name is Sandy, I’m 50 years old and I used to live just outside Bath in the South West of England and had done so for some 25 years. Longer if you count the years I spent in the RAF beforehand. Although I now live just outside of Eastbourne, having relocated early this year.
I'm recently widowed and have two wonderful Sons that keep a close eye on me and some smashing friends (Maggie & Dave). On of the reasons I relocated was to be closer to my adult children, and spend more time making beads.
I make glass beads and on the odd occasion some jewellery from my produce, although I generally leave that to the experts that buy my beads. On my website you will find beads for sale and presses.
The beads above are from my latest batch which will be put on the site this evening. I have been playing with silver and a reduction flame which gives me this wonderful metallic glow to the beads. Pretty aren’t they.
Fat lentil Press
Spear Tool
13 mm Combo
The brass tools are made for me by a friend, Steve, his wife Helen, is extremely understanding by allowing him to do this and I thank her for that immensely. I consider myself extremely lucky in that I get to play with the prototypes first and then put them on the website for sale. I must admit to enjoying that side of my hobby extremely. The beads above have been made using the fat lentil press, so if there are any bead makers reading this page you can buy one if you like by checking out the tools section of my website.
