What I Learned in Caitlin Hyde's Class - Some of my class beads


We started out with faces. The face on the left is my class bead. The face on the right is the bead I made when I got home.

Oh, these beads are two sided. Stay tuned for side 2.

Here's side 2.

Skulls. The one on the left I made in class. The one on the right, I made at home.
-------------------------------------->

I've learned that it's all about heat control. I'm working with the smallest flame I have ever used now.















How about a creature?
This--------------------------------->
came about as a result of a doodle. I wanted to make a cell bead. It became a creature.


















It's my first Pixie bead. It's cute, but I like the second one so much better. Remember what I said about heat control? I'm learning. I'm learning!

















Now, this is my favorite. It was my last class bead. Caitlin's conference helped me so much!

Guess who this is?
------------------------------------->


I'm wire wrapping it tonight!








Thank you, Caitlin, your class was excellent!

I love seeing the progression of your beads from/inspired by the class. Your Pixie at the end is so adorable. The angle of her head and eyes just looks like she's peeking up at you.

I like the second one too, Mallory. It looks just like Pixie! Got her personality and everything. Looks like you absorbed Caitlin's teaching very well. :-)

How wonderful! I have always wanted to learn to make beads and reading your blog and seeing the last few posts I may just have to take a class so I can try...

Love your work!

Arya, I hope you do take some classes in lampworking. If you enjoy it, I think you'll be hooked like the rest of us!
