I found the pattern for this bracelet in a wire magazine some months ago and liked the design. Only one bead on the clasp, but I didn't want to detract from the pattern of the maille itself.

Here's a close-up of a few of the links and beads

Beads made with red and green spectrum waterglass. The beads are 5 and 6mm in size and the links are made with 0.8mm 20 gauge gold-plated hobby wire. I had to make just under 300 jump rings and 200 small beads.

Kat bought me a lentil press for my last birthday. The press is so called because the bead is pressed between two blocks of brass to give it a lentil shape, a flattened sphere.

I made these beads today, trying to get two the same size and pattern. As I didn't have any head pins, just the wires and some silver very thin wire, I improvised and these are the result. When I get in some suitable silver wire etc. I will probably redo these as the twists of the wire are not very symetrical.

Using some of my stained glass store of glass instead of bought rods.

These beads are all made from Moretti glass rods.

These are my first 22 beads using my new Hothead torch
