    Default I've been thinking about colour

    For the past few weeks I've been thinking about colour and how to express some of the things I see or feel. When I was a child, my mother used to tell me that if there was enough blue in a cloudy sky to make a sailor a pair of trousers, then the day would brighten up. I never thought to ask what size trousers

    A couple of weeks ago, I saw such a sky, which I have tried to represent in this necklace. The lampworked beads are by Rob Johnson, the chain is sterling, as is the clasp. I usually make my own clasps but they are rather heavy in style and I thought this required something rather more delicate.

    Awesome bracelet! I'd say the trousers would be a 32 Regular.....
    Love the "Patch of Blue"

    It reminds me of that first patch of blue that comes through on an early summer morning just before the sun comes up, the clouds aren't exactly rainy grey just a little dark still and so full of promise. Love it!

    Lovely bracelet! But I can't view anything except the thumbnail as it says I am 'not allowed to'

    Julie - 'LUSH'? Is that a hint to Jason for suppliers as in LushLampwork ? Or JASON did you mean suppliers for the kit to make lampwork beads?

    The really well-known lampworkers tend to sell out of their wares very quickly indeed - you almost have to be online the minute they post. I'm thinking here of folk like

    Emma Ralph
    Crystal Garden
    Lush Lampwork (famed for her 'torch porch')

    However, I like to support the less well-known artists and the ones in this particular piece were made by Rob Johnson.

    With lampwork beads, as with anything else, once you find somebody who seems to share your artistic vision (sounds up meself, but you know what I mean) its a match made in heaven.

    A good place to start looking at lampwork beads is: British Lampwork
