Poor old Triton seems to have been a bit overlooked recently since the arrival of his beautiful sisters, Aurae and Ekho.
So, let's see your Triton beads (and any jewellery made with Triton beads too!)

ok - I made this with your silvered triton shards!!!!

Base is CIM's Sapphire - and this is a hollow bead!
Ooh I like that Trudy!
This is just dark iivory with triton stringer work - wanted to repeat this design but have not managed it yet so it must have been a fluke!

OK, I promise I will make something new for this, but I'll show this anyway.. The focal is Triton over dark ivory, and was made specifically to match the Clare Scott "frame" beads:

This is the first and only time to date that I have used Triton (I only have one rod lol!!)
I love Triton! :D
This was a bit of an 'oops' bead - I used a rod of Triton thinking it was cobalt! :P

Hi Guys
Well you will have seen this baby before but it is still one of my favourite beads - base is CIM Grumpy Bear (I think) with triton spots and eyes....

triton on black, with fine silver, encased.
It cracked during cooling, got worse overnight and had to be warmed up, reheated and pressed and it still seems to have a suspicious bit in it.
Promised I would make something for this, and I have! You may have seen it in my littly hoggy hog, so apologies if you have. The eye and other dots are all Triton:

These are some beads I made between New Year and my op - just got round to photographing them.

The middles are reduced and then encased Triton - I love this glass.

Okay...bearing in mind I consider myself a newbie with four months of Hothead experience, I thought I'd share a Triton creation with you. It's on a base of White covered with Ink Blue, with Fossil, Triton and fine silver frit (what a fab invention!). As a focal bead it's 4cm long...hope you like it, I'm quite pleased with it myself!
