I treated myself to a day of jewellery making on Sunday but this time I made sure I had a chance to use some of the stash of Lampwork beads made by the wonderfully talented Laura Sparling. I have said before how much I love her beads and the set that I used for this Sterling silver bracelet was especially hard to part with because I love the colour purple so much! You have to be pretty quick to get hold of Laura’s beads as they sell so quickly (probably because she is so damn good) so this bracelet is even more special!

I also managed to make a few other bits using more of Laura’s beads but I have yet to get them up on the site…Plus I am still deciding whether to keep them for myself!

Thought I would let you all know that my lovely friend Laura Sparling is running a competition on her blog. Laura makes some really beautiful lampwork beads (she is my personal favourite lampwork artist) and she has decided to run a competition to win 41 of her designer beads. The competition runs until the 4th of June and entries need to be on her blog (in the comments section) by 7.00pm. Good luck!
