..well I have to spend the money, or I'd be making a profit on the beads!

This press has possibly been the hardest to master, so particularly happy with this bead set. That said, it's the only purple set I've put up for auction that hasn't sold..

It's basically a sort of two-part mould; LIKE THIS that helps you to get consistent sizes and shapes, but need to be able to make the basic shape first before the press finishes it off.

It's a lovely shape, Tina: strange that the bracelet hasn't sold. Well done for getting to grips with it, though.

Thanks girls. It's not a bracelet though, just a set of beads!

Maybe they haven't sold because you should have them?
