I have just bought the lighter one 082 last week when I went to Tuffnell's didn't see this one, but it is very pretty.  Have made a dotty one for the other challenge in the lighter shade, hope it comes out of the kiln ok.  Those are lovely ribbed beads Trudi.  :)

Well, this is the first time I've ever managed to make some beads that fit the monthly theme and that I'm not too embarrassed to share with the rest of the world!

They're nothing that interesting, but I like them.

Hiya

k00m, those are great - well done for sharing!

My Dark Rosata has arrived, so I've had a play.  These beads are weeny - made with my new bantam bead roller, but I think they are quite cute. There is some white & opal raspberry here too, and I've etched some of the Rosata and left some shiny.  Don't know if it was just me, but my Rosata kept wanting to go go very bubbly.  You can see that even on some of the etched ones:

Whenever I have used Dark Rossato - it looks a lovely colour before annealing - but after annealing it goes sort of brownish (my Pink Champagne does the same).

Any ideas anyone please?

I would love to get colours like some of these fab beads on this thread.

Thanks, Helen
