As mentioned previously, my first glass beads were from my dearest friend Chrissie, who was tragically killed in a car accident, long before her time - I still miss her so. These are those beads - not particularly stunning or valuable, but to a me as a teenager they were "diamonds, dreams and seeds", and I treasure them still.

These are some other beads in my collection:
Davide Penso's Tartaruga (turtle) bead - Venice 2003
These SO intrigued me, and now I can make them!!!

Stunning Foiled Hearts - Venice 2003
I must get the mould!
