Here it is!
This is the tenth colour challenge on Frit happens and it is for two months as i know how busy we all are over the xmas period, and it is
SILVER
This is inspired by the FOIL/LEAF thread that has been started and also the lack of Silvered glass i use!!!
You can make anythin that takes your fancy however it must contain silvered glass (Double Helix) Maybe Silver Plum, Foils, Leaf the possibilities are ENDLESS!!!
A focal, a set a critter it is completely up to you.
Sound good?
So lets go!!!
The next Colour challenge will be started in February

Hi!
Just wanted to show you a crunched bead I made with Ornela ivory covered in silverleaf, then burnt the silver in, did some scrollwork with a transparent stringer and then reduced the bead (after pressing and firepolishing).

It looks as if it were covered in goldleaf, but it was silverleaf.
They are lovely, everybody. I love that Nyx & silver leaf set. Verena, that bead is gorgeous!
Thought I'd play this month - anything clear and sea-like I had flying around, silver foil, and some of beadysam's fun'n'funky frits:

Absolutely stunning silver beads on here, my turn then, its hard to choose as most of mine have silver in them somewhere.
I call this one silver tipped

And then.......I always wondered how people get to a signature bead, develop their own style.....there is so much to play with....but I love doing these:
