Post by: Kaz on July 10, 2012, 07:05:10 AM

The theme of the month challenge is jointly sponsored by Tuffnells Glass (thank you Martin et al!) and Frit Happens!

Each month the lucky winner, chosen by a random number selector, will receive a £20 gift voucher to spend on-line with Tuffnells. The draw will take place at the end of JULY so make sure you get your entries in to be in with a chance to win the goodies!

Please note that the entries should be new work.

So, the theme for the month for JULY 2012 is SUGAR AND SPICE AND ALL THINGS NICE....

Thanks, i have resized it but its still huge!

Trudi, love the allsorts. I made my niece an allsorts bracelet for Christmas, and she loved it, but my sugary ones were not as nice as yours!

Title: Re: MONTHLY THEME CHALLENGE - JULY 2012
Post by: spexy on July 28, 2012, 03:28:27 PM

Lovely bead Shirl.

I was a bit stuck for inspiration for this one and judging from the lack of entries this month so are a lot of other people.

Sugar coated spice coloured discs.

I'll be brave and post these - my take on sugar and spice, based on Kaz's 'sugar pie honey bunch' frit. They didn't entirely come out as I expected, but I quite like them!

I like that colour combination Katherine - especially with the goldstone.

Title: Re: MONTHLY THEME CHALLENGE - JULY 2012
Post by: katherinem on July 31, 2012, 08:31:51 AM

Thank you! There was goldstone in the cane, but I think I must have overheated it because it went brown and lost its sparkle - so I added the stringer too.

(Though these ones got a bit too familiar with each other in the kiln, not so much kiss marks as full on snogging, so that's spicy as well as the sweets :o ::) ;D)
