Hmmm first try didn't work... maybe this time? ???
Pretty bead :)
It's a lovely bead but isn't the idea of it being a 'challenge' and not digging something up that we have already made?
Here's my collection
I love white and kept them simple!

Thats a very nice heart ! im having a bit of trouble not smoking my cim peace for some reason, its ok when I encase it but other than that goes silver or brown in places. :)
Loving all the white - lovely heart!
I tried one of my 'Abyss' beads in white...

Lovely stuff so far. Love the polar bear.
I'm keeping it simple - there is some sparkle but I'm not sure it's really visible in the photo...

Been busy in the studio with white in mind for the challenge, everyone has made some stunning beads it inspired me to have a go.
I used CIM Peace with some Inky Pen and then Frit from a play tray bought from Beady Sam. Must admit I was pleased with my session.

Sam's lovely Jean Jeanie Frit on these.
Did you have any trouble encasing the peace, Sandy? I had to use Effetre for mine as the half of my first batch developed a crack after annealing.
Such beautiful work everyone. That CIM inky pen looks stunning.
Sarah x
some lovely beads on here :)
The encased peace is fine, no problems at all with it ;D

Must just be me, then
This lentil is white with Stary Night Val Cox frit - not a brilliant bead, not a brilliant picture, I'd forgotten how gloopy white can be (or is it just my batch?).

I found the CIM Peace is much firmer to work with than Effetre White. The bead is lovely by the way, I love that Frit.
Gorgeous beads so far. Love the heart, Sarah, and the abyss bead is to die for!
Here's my offering - white with a hint of colour. Sorry about the photo, I took it yesterday indoors, came back from the orchid show with a streaming cold, and didn't want to go outside! Made the beads a week or so ago, but haven't had time to photograph them before.

It's on the next shopping list then! The white I have could gloop for England in the Olympics!
