For the first time today i got some lovely metalicy colours out of nyx but lost it again kept trying to get it back but no luck .
what am i doing wrong
thanks girls .
Remember you need to reduce it slightly to get the colours?
It can burn very easily and you'll get a mucky brown so you need to gently waft it in a smallish bushy flame. At least - that works for me!
Yep, I second what Sal says, once you have burned it, its hopeless.
Gentle wafting is the trick, not too hot.
Did you offer up prayers to the glassy gods and lay down offerings?
Yeah sorry I forgot, Tan is so right you have to pray as well, preferably on your knees, which is not easy when you are making a bead. ;D Practice practice practice though, as ever. ;D ;D ;D
Sorry, feeling very silly and I have only had two vodkas ;D
Yeah, I get so much ruddy broken glass in my knees....
Sal, I have that problem as well, must sweep up better before kneeling.
who kneels? The gods will only accept lying full length on shards of shattered glass, whilst screaming shrilly and wearing odd socks, but be warned the socks have to be certain colours on certain days
ROFL at Tan - you're bonkers!
nooo, just learnt the hard way,the first time I tried it with clothes on :-\
You have to be bonkers to be here, its obligatory. ;D
I guess this is where I have been going wrong Tan, I thought kneeling would suffice, obviously more pain is required before success can be properly achieved.
God I diden't realise you have to be naked, THATS where I am going wrong.
What colour socks please ;D
Now, you see....this is the magic,,,,,no one knows, its odd socks on different days and NO ONE HAS EVER FOUND THE COMBINATION!!
Uh huh...scared now aint ya, think that you will never truly conquer the gods of silver glass now doncha ;)
Hmmm....well I'm fine with the odd socks bit, got that one down to a fine art already. Not so sure about the nekkid bit - don't want to frighten the gods off...
You are so right Tan, its scary int it, do I even have the right colour socks? Its all such a mystery.
Your all mad :o :o ;D ;D
Thanks for all the tips ladies will try again tomorrow .
xxcatxx ps would you treat terra frit in the same way xx
No, you reduce Nyx but burn and strike Terra (ie get very hot till goes like clear soup, then cool quickly and reheat gently) - - unless you mean, would you roll in it? And then... well, its probably less painful than shards!
I'm *so* glad I popped in to catch up, you guys just saved my particular peculiar brand of sanity ;) ;) ;)
oh wow...I'd roll naked in Terra frit - that's my ultimate fantasy.
yes, but you'd need to go and sit by a very hot fire, then jump into an ice cold river to really make it come to life.
Come to think of it, isn't that a health cure?
