AD- New beads (again, again!) from the Tillerman on JustBeads and eBay

Wow, has anyone told you those beads look like NW Coast (US) tribal art? I've never seen such precise-looking lampwork. Way to go!

All are lovely beads Su. Planning on coming to see you at Hartington on Sunday am. Shirley

Wonderful, Shirley! See you there unless it gets snowed in. Keep an eye on the weather reports, as we have to come through the Snake Pass to get there and it gets shut so easily when there's any bad weather.

Barring that, we'll see you on Sunday.

Thank you, Georgia.

I love SW and NW art and have for years. Mike's very interested in it and has been trying to reflect the themes in his recent work but no matter what he's just in love with making layered dots. I love the idea of how much they resemble tribal themes too, and have tried to name them appropriately without being twee or overdone. He's promised me my own set of beads like 'Sigh' so I've shipped him off to the studio early!

Wow! Awesome new beads from Mike! Thanks for sharing them with us Su! :)

Those are all just gorgeous! I love the colors in Sedona, and the patterns in Sigh are just amazing!

Thanks, Paulette and Dawn! It always gives us such a lift when people take the time to look at Mike's beads.

He's feeling really inspired now, somewhere in the past two weeks he's had an 'aha' moment and is now really steaming ahead again with new patterns of dots and colours.

I was SO close to keeping 'Sigh' but the beads he made for me especially are just as lovely. I'm wearing one as a pendant now and as soon as I make them up into something this week I'll post a photo link.

You guys are always so nice!
