The theme of the month challenge is jointly sponsored by Tuffnels (thank you Martin!) 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 Tuffnels. The draw will take place on at the end of the month so make sure you get your entries (beads and jewellery) in to be in with a chance to win the goodies!
So, the theme of the month for SEPTEMBER 2010 is TOTALLY ORGANIC!
Feel free to interpret the theme in whichever way you choose!
Good luck!

Thank you, you have inspired me to post a bead that I made a while ago, apologies if anyone has seen it already.

Ok, not your traditional organic look, but it's organic for me!

And so are the other lovelies in here. I didn't think I'd done any organics, but it turns out I have ::) Here's a couple:

Fresh out of the kiln this week:
(http://i630.photobucket.com/albums/uu26/veebeads/Beads%202010/sea_comp.jpg)
Shame about the devits, but I still like the bead ;D
I've used Sam's Hot Buttered Toast and Transparent Seas frits. Oh, and a cheeky bit of silver glass too..
(http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l45/bearhouse_1968/Thurs5.jpg)[image width=500]I finally got my silver brown to do something ;D

I got me some kaleras in different stages of organicness ;D

The green swirly one with SIS is Vetro odd lemongrass, and the orange one is a random Vetro odd over clear. My photograph could be clearer here - I've been putting off doing pics for a week!
Beautiful beads, everyone! Can I come and play?

Here's my contribution....Looks huge here but it's only a little bead.

Here's some I think match the theme:

I'm embarrassed to put my offering on here in such accomplished company, but it is organic!
(http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u80/crystalNess_photos/BEADS/nessjune10015.jpg)
So many lovely beads on here!
Some Autumn colours from me...the large bead is my second ever attempt at a hollow.

Inspiring beads here! I love the stone effects :)
I just made this for my DD. I think its quite organic.

Me too, didn't make recently, but the torch is only just working again now.

right, finally found it, I had made this at the beginning of the month, then misplaced it.
it was the predecessor to something else I have been doing more recently
anyway, here it is, silvered ivory and maple and barnacles and stuff, same bead, 2 views

I thought cave painting straight away too Tan. That one appeals to me lots more than the dragons. I like the dragons, they are clever and sweet, but that one is one of a kind.
I have this one little offering just come out of the kiln.
It's stinger dipped in "smoke on the water" frit from Beady Sam, I blame Tans frit thread for this, over a base of C.I.M. Phoenix.

The first one has ivory, silver leaf, mystic orange, and a murrini I was given by Trudi at one of our meets. The second one is either pea green or petrol green with silver and various stringers and has a special Kaz murrini (that I don't think she is making any more...)
Some amazing beads in this thread - I LOVE organics!
Sneaking another one in ;D
