Made this on a base of dark topaz - swirled with silver brown & encased!
(http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e160/shine-on2/Beads/beadsFeb092024.jpg)
On CIM base of Chalcedony - mixed with Electric Avenue and Ocean!
(http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e160/shine-on2/Beads/beadsFeb092066.jpg)
NB the drop doesn't have a hole going all the way through!
Just realised that the rod of "purple" glass i used that came out deep pink, was actually reichenbach pink lady! lol!
So the middle and end ones are pink lady.

All Reichenbach: Pink Lady with Mystic Beige, and Mystic Pink with Mystic Beige (effetre ivory in the SIS though)
(http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a111/biggirlsblouseuk/P2120324.jpg)
Time to get this thread moving again, methinks!
I spent some time with me Mystics last night - first I wanted to see if they would etch so I made these Sunbaked style beadies in Mystic Pink, Violet, Beige and Grey
(http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a111/biggirlsblouseuk/444.jpg)
Then I etched them
(http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a111/biggirlsblouseuk/445.jpg)
Yep, I'd say they do etch quite successfully (although I think I prefer their shiny pearliness).
And I also got rather carried away making polka dot beads - Mystic Pink, Grey and Violet with Effetre ivory dots.
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3344/3335285152_600012b266.jpg?v=0) (http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3344/3335285152_600012b266.jpg?v=0)
Ooh - I can put my new ones in here! They're not as pretty as Julies polka dots though! Here you are.. antique green and magic..
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3351/3331515444_55bed402a7.jpg) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/53211004@N00/3331515444/in/photostream/)
Awwww Marion, they are brilliant - I want one, lol!
A rose made of Ocean, with palladium leaf - all the little flecks you see are sparkle, not dust.
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3317/3334623109_e3db4381cd.jpg)
Waoo! I need to get some Ocean!
Here is a set I made a long time ago! All raku with a tiny little bit of Intense black.
(http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2108/2279907276_0a324a3e69_m.jpg)
Beautiful raku beads, Annelyse, I love your stringer style!
Hey Shelia, I've just discovered Mystic Blue too, isn't it gorgeous!
These polka dot beads are mystic blue and mystic green, I haven't found a Mystic I don't like yet!

Oh well you can always discount it as an entry, but worth a bash.

Antique clear /shards/twistie etc
(http://i324.photobucket.com/albums/k329/Blueflamebeads_photos/2009%20beads/Shards2b.jpg)
and finally these dragon scale beads - Iris orange stringer dotted on SIS dotted on copper green ;D
(http://i324.photobucket.com/albums/k329/Blueflamebeads_photos/dragonlight.jpg)
Go on then ...
Well, I thought hard about how to do the draw. I think if you ask somebody to pick a number between 1 and 86 they'd usually go somewhere in the middle and I wanted to make sure everybody had a real chance. So I used an online Random Number Generator. It worked!
I couldn't believe it when it picked no 86!!
Last-Minute-Yellow-Friend is the winner ;D
Congratulations SHELIA!!
Martin said he'll take the prize to the Flame Off, but I'm not sure if you're going? We'll work out a way to get it to you if you're not.
Thanks to everybody who took part - its been brilliant to see all these gorgeous glasses put to such great use, I hope lots of people have been as inspired as me :)
