I am really loving the colour green right now. You saw the green beads I posted last time. Well I have more green beads. I can’t stop this fascination and I feel compelled to explore all green glass in all the different glass ranges. Oh my stars, that would take me a long time to complete. I’ll just have to ride this wave until it gives out. Last time I obsessed over a colour it was for white. And I broke my arm half way through that so that spoilt that fun.
Look, I’ve even bought some green nail polish. Not one shade of green, but two. My fingertips look like wasabi and I’m now thinking of doing some nail art with the 2 shades of green and bottle of white. I’m thinking I can paint my bead patterns onto my fingers nails 
. Oh yeah, I’m totally hooked on green.
I then etched the green beads
And then macro’d them
And a picture of the green nailpolish. It’s green. I had to take a photo of it!
Hi Avril,
Lovely beads. Your photos are really nice as well. I’m a lampworker too and need a new camera. What camera are you using? Kathryn
Hi Kathryn,
Thanks for your lovely comments. My camera is a Canon Digital Rebel XT (or 350D in Australia) and I have 2 lenses that I use to take photos of my beads with.
A EF-S 17-85mm for regular shots and a 100mm f2.8 macro lens for close ups. Both Canon’s. I also have a photography cube set up as well, which helps diffuse the light. I find the cube is well worth it. Hope that helps.
