The theme of the month challenge is jointly sponsored by Tuffnells Glass (thank you Martin et al!) and Frit Happens!
Each month the lucky winner, chosen by a random number selector, will receive a £20 gift voucher to spend on-line with Tuffnells. The draw will take place at the end of OCTOBER so make sure you get your entries in to be in with a chance to win the goodies!
Please note that the entries should be new work.
So, the theme for the month for OCTOBER 2012 is Halloween.
This is a two week (ish) challenge so get your skates on and good luck
OOohh ... coolies !
ooohhh, now I'm set up again I'm giving this a go. ;D
Looking forward to seeing what you make Denise.
Yes Linda me too, I can make good things honest ;D (not just chewed up toffee mess)
I've got a couple of ideas up my sleeve I has.
Sorry about the non halloween spoons, but these pumpkins went last week to their new home.

Hopefully I've done this right ??? (This is the first time I've posted a photo),
Thanks to generous people that contribute to SLT - I'd like to contribute my Halloween offering. The fingers and eyes were done on the mandrel, and then tack fused to the plate and then slumped.
Nina
Loving everything on here so far but that plate is wicked. ;D
The plate is great!
I made a new Cat At Midnight bead (on 7th Oct, so may not count? Have only just got round to photographing). Am planning to get something else done by the end of the month anyway.

Heeeee, that pumpkin! :D
Lovely spooky beadies! ;D I love those fingers, Nina!
I could post this in the monthly colour challenge as well, but that feels like cheating :D

Lots of fantastic spooky stuff.
Loving all the spooky beads.. Well done, I'd be hard pushed to pick a favourite out of these.
Aw... just loving the theme and the lovely pumpkins, bats and spookies... :D :D
A few more fingers from me, this time as pendants,

Happy Halloween to all, Nina x
Fabulous!
Brilliant stuff!!!!!
I made these a week or so ago, haven't had time to do anything about them until now. Sorry about quality of photo - explained in Colour Challenge. Unfortunately I dropped a bag with these and some others in on the tile floor of my workshop. Ghostie lost the tip of his tail, and Frankie is frit!!!!!!!! I meant to make some more, but, what with the orchid show, and coughing so much these last 2 days that I couldn't hold the mandrel still, I haven't managed it.
Ghostie

Zombie - quite pleased with him, but could have improved him with time. I used Iris Orange powder frit to give him the leprous look.
