I love this song from War of the Worlds, so I am hoping it will inspire some beads for October as there are lots of different themes to work with in it!

The summer sun is fading as the year grows old,
and darker days are drawing near,
the winter winds will be much colder,
now you're not here.
I watch the birds fly south across the autumn sky
and one by one they disappear
I wish that I was flying with them,
now you're not here
like the sun through the trees you came to love me
like a leaf on a breeze you blew away
through autumn's golden gown we used to kick our way
you always loved this time of year
loose fallen leaves lie undisturbed now
cos you're not here
like the sun through the trees you came to love me
like a leaf on a breeze you blew away
a gentle rain falls softly on my weary eyes
as if to hide a lonely tear
my life will be forever autumn
cos you're not here
can i enter this necklace i made a few months back ? .......autumn leaves
(etched glass varrious colours )

I have not long made these - and they were made with autumn in mind!

Peace with a sepia encasing - goldstone and sam's triffle frit - yum yum! (it really is a nice frit blend this one!)

Topaz base - can't remember the frit blend (somthine with raku me thinks) and more topaz and goldstone. The green spacers just for the zing!

Sorry if you have seen this before. But, but but it is sort of autumny with the rich colours.

Great. I feel an I made this one earlier moment coming. ;D
Me too! In fact, I think I made this two year's ago.....but it is
very autumnal. I had forgotten all about it until I saw this thread!
Anyway, here it is.......

I had better go and dig it out, and wear it!!
Oooh, if we can have a "here's one I made earlier"..... here's my old faithful, which you've no doubt all seen a million times before, but hey, it's autumnal :D

I love these autumn colours, and so do the glass manufacturers! There's so many gorgeous oranges, reds, browns and yellows to choose from, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ;D
Here's a fun seasonal set from me

Some of my beads for Big Bead.
Some great beads here so far, love the colours in those flowers Julie.
Lovely autumn colours on here! I think my trees look autumnal..

I think I'm getting the hang of it but it is hard work, had fun making these last week, have been trying to upload ever since! thanks Trudi

Last try, then I just give up,
This is a combined effort. I make the beads and Beadraggled puts the jewellery together. I love the autumn colours.

I have an entry too! I already showed this bead in the S&T of this week but I think it belongs in here as well:

I love those leaves, I love amber glass and all the Autumn colours :)
I did a calendar last year for family and these were in it, so they aren't new beads, hope that doesn't matter

superb display!!
julie - fab beads / necklace - stylish
Kaatje - wow that implosion is fab!
Ingrid - please keep showing - can never get enough!!
Here's something new to me that I've been working on:
(http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e160/shine-on2/Beads/MapleFocalTab1.jpg)(http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e160/shine-on2/Beads/MapleFocalTab.jpg)
I made it with the new press I bought from Jessie (thanks!)
I also made a great huge ball in the same style - but it cracked when I got it out >:( >:( - it was a stunner too. I did increase my soak time, so I can only guess that I needed to give it more heat after decorating it!!
I had the title for this set ready before I made the beads: Autumn Glow. With the shiny aurae bicone spacers I wonder if it is a bit too xmassy...
(http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh238/have-a-beer/autumn-glow2.jpg)
Those are gorgeous Julie ;D
Here's mine - Forever Autumn
