This latest batch is completely unworkable. My worktop is covered in celadon frit from 2 whole rods....

Not just me then

I managed to get a set made, but not without much cussing and ducking and picking up green frit on the end of a clear rod ...

I got some in my March Tuffnells gift to myself last week and it isn't too bad on the shocky front. I have a couple to show, once I get round to photos. I really love the colour of this, but need to learn how to use it slight streakyness a bit better, or rather to my advantage! Lovely beads by the way everyone.

I have an "old" rod of Celadon which was fine - but then I added some Atlantis dots, and THAT was frit on a stick!

Yesterday, I took a set of beads out of the kiln having used some of your murrini, Kaz.
It's the very bestest results I have ever had with any murrini, ever and I'm delighted with them

I bought them via Julie at the Julie and George weekend way back and only just used some, and I reordered from you yesterday

My big problem now is.......I need to make some spacers...with Cpitty Celadon

These are gorgeous. I'm glad I don't have any if it's Frit on a stick!

Lovely beads everyone! I have 2 rods and have bought or swopped it from somewhere so no idea how old a batch! Tis a little shocky but my back rooms gets so cold the glass often spits a bit, my reflexes are getting really good!

OOh lovely Sue.

Here are my attempts!

A lentil, that I wanted to keep simple but is very streaky.

A stripey one

A set which will become a macrame bracelet, when I have a mo.

Found my one rod

And it was warm enough to bead today.

Pictures to follow.

awrylemming · March 11, 2012, 07:24:13 PM

I forgot what a lovely bright colour this is - I love your lentil Lotti

Madam Steph · March 11, 2012, 07:33:13 PM

Some good news re Cpitty Celadon....the rod I just used was wonderfully non cpitty

Never had to duck once and finished all my spacers
