The colour of the month challenge is jointly sponsored by Off Mandrel (thank you Sean and Gillian!) 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 Off Mandrel. The draw will take place at the start of **January** **February** Last entries before midnight of the last day of December January so make sure you get your entries in to be in with a chance to win the goodies!

A reminder that the entries should be new work.

So, the colour for the month for December 2012 is Transparent Olive (this will be EFFETRE 025). Come on let's see your creations!

Good luck!

Has everyone forgotten about the challenges this month or are you all too busy?

Nothing inspiring for this one. The base is Olive.

In light of the overwhelming responses  ;) I shall extend this to the January challenge as well.  I have a feeling that 'christmas' has been enough of a challenge for everyone (Appart from Linda - well done  ;D )

Lovely eye candy, I'm never sure about the colour so stay away from olives and greens but you have both inspired me to order some greens and have a play.

Lovely beads so far, this is not a colour I have (I don't think), but it does look rather tempting after seeing what prettiness you have all come up with. x

Hiya  ;D

Rather late entry from me for this one - I had made a focal with Olive Green last weekend, but then the bugger wouldn't come off the mandrel, so I had to try again this weekend.

Here is a set made with Olive Green, etched, over Acid Lemon Yellow, and with Val Cox's Sunflower Fields frit (courtesy of a sample given to me by marklaird!)... It's a nice colour when etched I think.
