This is great and it has got me thinking about other styles of Focals to make. Images have been going around in my mind, but I haven't come to any firm decisions yet on what the next series should feature.
What did occur to me though, was that it might be nice to do some Accent Beads to compliment the focals. So I made some! These really were fun to make - I love making round beads - and I have made just three sets, to match three of the remaining Focals that are still on Etsy at the moment. Hopefully, these will be just as popular with everyone.
I have also had a great day, creatively speaking, and have made two new styles of beads. Pictures to follow when I have made them up into 1 necklace and 1 something else - not sure if it will be a necklace or a bracelet yet....will let you know!
Meanwhile, I am enjoying the gorgeous spring weather we are having and looking forward to my Birthday later in the week. The children and Darren are being very secretive!
Hope you are all having a great week too!

mumm. These are lovely. How do you get them so shiny?
Thanks so much Fiona! The secret to shiny? Gentle Sanding and then Gentle Buffing! No short cuts I'm afraid!!! (Wish there were - my fingers get sore from all the sanding!)

I love the new direction, Pippa! The sky is the limit with these, I just know it. I'm off to look at your shop! My fish bead is lonely, he needs some friends! :)
