I was just going to ask what the sparkle was, then I read it!
Beautiful beads!
Thanks to Helens encouragement, I've been practising dots lately, not as pretty, but not bad

Those beads are delicious Helen ;D
Thanks everyone! I love P.S. but have been using it in the tiniest amounts possible! Think its a less is more type of glass anyway so all good :)
Sue they are fab! Love the silvery dots on the bottom one!
Dots, I love dots.....

Good thing you said dots not spots, else you'd have gotten the gremlin with the spot on the end of her nose!
Oh, now I want to see the gremlin. Go on, show us the gremlin, pleeeeaaase. ;D
And thanks Helen (FC) - they are a lot more even than before. I used to be able to do pretty good dotties on the hothead, but still struggling with heat control on the Minor :(
Oh dear, I'm really bad at dots :( But then I suppose this is called a challenge... ;)
And here was me saying to myself no more dots :-\ :-\ Ahhh well you can never have enough of them and they are fun to do
a little out of season - a bit autumnal. But then spots don't exactly go out of fashion do they?

I love those dotties too ... and the zitty gremlin, looks a bit like my teenage son ::) ;D
The gremlin is so cute :)
Here are my dots, plunged and raised.

They are nice Kath, I love the white one. Did you make the goldy coloured spacer type beads as well? I cant tell by the photo if they are glass or metal.
HURRAH, guess what I am doing on Monday!!
Here's mine:

spotty heart, and its evil twin? a photo editing accident...now I just gotta figure out how to make the bead that looks like it! grasshopper green perhaps? EDP, olive and rubino...maybe?

OMG the colours in that second one are devine!!!!!!
shame its not real...
OOoer bit of gorgeousness so far here goes my effort from the past
(http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s276/dybyk/Dotty.jpg)
Lovely Tan - that's really pretty!
Here's my effort from today - a while since I made dotty beads on their own I have to admit:
(http://i557.photobucket.com/albums/ss13/helbels/009.jpg)
Ooh! Thank god it isn't based on skill- oh I may as well enter too ;) I'll go on the torch right now and do some ;D
Yay, that's the spirit Dean - go and get stuck in! :D
oo! I really like those zingy blues and greens Helen, and Tan's multicolour too,
Shirl, the spacers are supposed to be silver, not made by me!, it must be the light I photographed them in made them come out goldy.
kath
Here's my homage to the dot! ;D Unfortunately they won't come off the mandrel :(
Round (ish), bright and dotty- just like me ;) ;D

Practicing raised dots and reducing! Sadly this bead has a huge thermal crack in it I only noticed when I took piccies of it. :(
(http://i702.photobucket.com/albums/ww22/northdevondumpling/Glass%20beads/IMG_0184cropped.jpg)
Playing with Pysche, bit of a problem with the encasing but it's a long story. :) Getting there slowly slowly and having lots of fun. :)
just for Trudi...
here's the real version of the photoshop accident
(http://madelinebunyan.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/dscf3647spotty-heartgreensm.jpg?w=490&h=505)
I also put some of the other funky 'fake' ones I came up with while messing around on my blog.
Ohh I like that Madeline!!!
Loving seeing everyone's dots - I can remember a time (way before I even made beads) that I thought that they all had to be smooth, no bumps at all. Luckily I have now got over that strange fad I had!!
DOTS! oooooh yes, i love dots, in the spirit of challenging myself im going to have a go at stacked dots at some point...although you probably wont get to see the results because im betting they will be pretty baaaaaad ;D
for now some "normal" dots

MEEEEEEEE ;D i already want to run off and make more dotty beads, although i have about 5 more photos i could upload here anyway!
Dean actually i was going to say how good your orange-y coloured dotty bead was, really nice consistent dot size and placement! what is the colour of the dots, looks very yummy!
Oh wow thanks! I'm sure I don't need to say how amazing yours are as you've heard it so often ;D On the orange it's mostly just Effetre Soft White with just a few dots of light ivory- that's because dots take more stringer than you may first think and I ran out :P Yours are fantastic, I wouldn't even know how to start making a pattern like that!! :O ;) ;D
Im rather impressed, i cant do dots with stringer at all, i just get in a mess, i do all my dots straight from the rod!
Those dots are made with rubino oro, its the reaction between the glasses that makes the patterns, i love making them, its kind of magical watching the reaction!

Oh my god. Wow. :O Now I don't know what DH really means but I'm guessing Dynamicly Hot in terms of beads! These are amazing!! ;D They really remind me of like...the orient? Like a very Mediterranean harem or opium den (in a very poetic, beautiful way!! :P) I love the dark dark ivory and all your reactions...Really blown away, they are beautiful. ;D

DH stands for Double Helix Dean, a silver rich reactive make of glass!

Oh my these look super!!

I must have had Helen's beads on the mind when doing these! Base on the right is tongue pink (only struck one half) and the other base is the pale unique plum, which does interesting liney things under the dots.
Can`t resist adding more! Triton on ivory.

Very clever!
Lots and lots of lovely beads, getting very inspired to play with more dots, spots and bumps if I manage to get behind the torch this weekend, which I must as I am having major withdrawal problems! :)

WOW!!
there are so many lovely yummy beads here.
I am not a bead maker, just a (bad) glass fuser so am in awe of all of you.
Maybe I will have a go next month...
I'll draw these tomorrow and put up the new challenges for March - February was such a short month!
Just in time for another one.... dotty buttons
