Back on the torch... 😁🔥 Spent the money I haven't used in petrol on some new glass colours from CIM. Not entirely sure anything will end up on the website as I suspect most of it will end up in my jewellery box! Must be more disciplined... like that's gonna happen! 😉😁 #flameopal #glassjewellery #creationismessy #nodiscipline #summerwardrobe #newglasstoplaywith #sorrynotsorry #fortheloveofglass https://www.instagram.com/p/CAjDe71HrZn/?igshid=41lrouktxxeg

A spring tide down on the South coast always guarantees one thing - LOTS OF SAND! If only I could scoop it up and turn it into glass... an endless supply would be very useful! I'll stick to scrunching it between my toes and enjoying the view for now... ;) #holidayview #beach #springtide #sandbetweenyourtoes #flameopal #glassinsperation #walkingmiles #seaview #beachcolours #nextstopfishandchips https://www.instagram.com/p/B16OJHhHK0i/?igshid=nhdkbe43onsx

Back on the South coast for a short break and pilgrimage to Eastbourne pier where my love of lampwork began. Great to see the pier back open after the fire but sad to see some of the damage that was caused. There were several of these lights showing how hot the fire must have burned to melt the glass. It looks like their restoration is underway but the eerie ribbons the fire created are a reminder of how quickly it can destroy as well as be used to create. I think I'll stick to the creating side! #flameopal #eastbournepier #firedamage #ribbonsofglass #restoration #meltedglass #createdbyfire #seagullsnotbothered https://www.instagram.com/p/B1v1CRJnTac/?igshid=1mlsz8r77b30t

For once I was very pleased to not be handling glass today - I was sweating from this distance! Always interesting to see how other artists work and spend and afternoon talking 'shop' with other glass nerds at the International Festival of Glass, even if I am melting in the process! ;) #ifog2019 #glassnerd #flameopal #kilnenvy #toolenvy #ineedacolddrink #glassporn https://www.instagram.com/p/B1miruyHa0M/?igshid=s24cgzig3znv

Even the garden hasn't escaped having a few festive additions to brighten things up! If there's a chance to put something blue and shiny somewhere, it's going to happen in this household! Happy Christmas Eve all! :)⠀ ⠀ #baubles #xmas #iloveblue #festivegarden #anyexcuse #christmas #pretty #flameopal #mischiefmanaged

If you like gentle pastel colours and the soft texture of seaglass this is the necklace for you! Made from pale blue, lilac and peach glass which has been textured for a wonderfully tactile feel this is a very feminine look. The glass is combined with 925 sterling silver balls and a smooth 18 inch chain. ⠀ ⠀ #handmadeuk #glassjewellery #flameopal #handmadejewellery #handcraftedjewelry #glassnecklace #lampwork #sterlingsilverjewellery #seaglass #giftsforher #unique #elegance #pastels #blue #lilac #peach #tactile #glassart

This is a classic monochrome combination - shiny black glass with contrasting softly textured clear glass to give a black and white effect. Combined with 925 sterling silver balls and a smooth chain this is a lovely simple but elegant look. ⠀ ⠀ #handmadeuk #glassjewellery #monochrome #flameopal #handmadejewellery #handcraftedjewelry #glassnecklace #lampwork #sterlingsilverjewellery #seaglass #giftsforher #unique #elegance #blackandwhite #tactile
