Lesley McFarland Handmade Glass Beads

Hello to everyone, I am very excited to say that I have won a Bead Challenge, this is the bi monthly one on the The Angry Mandrel forum, prizes were given by Karen Leonardo so lucky me as I have won some nice new shiny tools.  My entry is below and the link to Karen's website can be found on my links page.

I have also been very busy making new beads and exploring all sorts of possibilities, I have yearned for a long time to make a mermaid bead but my efforts have not been very satisfactory, however I finally made a bead that is almost what I want, see below.  I will have to keep trying and one day I might come up with one that is exactly right.  Hope so.  Making this one has given me some new ideas, so watch this space.

Have a lovely week.
