Class with Lisa St. Martin

Lisa St. Martin specializes in sparkle! It was so much fun learning new ways of incorporating dichro, silver, copper and even copper dish scubbies. Lisa is always thinking about different ways to work with metals. We fumed with gold and apparently I have to practice this since none of my beads got anything more then a pink hue. This is good, but I wanted to see the golden glow.

These pictured above are made by Lisa. Check out the sparkle on the right! This bead was subdued compared to some others she had that were over the top dripping dichro. Too much fun! I absolutely love the Carribean blue hue of the sculptured vessel on the left.

These are the beads I made. Hmmm, gotta get a little more sparkle and wow going. I was really pleased with my beads and now want to play with all of the dichro I bought. Yikes!
