Glass and BronzClay

I'm just back from a wonderful holiday in Italy, where we were near enough to Venice to go for a day to see all the glass making in Murano for a day. Well, I have now developed a new obsession. I just spent £50 ordering the lampworker's bible (oops) and I'm dying to try lampworking again. Apart from that, I have also been working with chainmaille (very fancy, photos to follow) and just completed a bronze bracelet which i had for a commission. I'm so pleased with it, I have a photo of that to go up soon too. I made it with BronzClay, the relatively new bronze version of silver clay. Its a bit tempremental, so I was really pleased to see how it turned out. Photo to follow!
