Love it with the pink - which is effetre light pink BTW.

[spexy]

Yes, very pretty with the pink.

Here's my offering, the big bead in the centre is hollow.

[katherinem]

such pretty beads from everyone, must be the influence of the colour!

Here's my effort, based heavily on the 'Graceful Eastern' project in Joan Gordon's Creative Lampwork, but less intricate - partly because I thought I'd better stop while it still looked okay

light violet over white, with some dark violet in the layered dots, and light green raised dots - which have gone quite yellow.

[LilLizaJane]

That bead is simply (well, not at all simple really!) wonderful, Katherine.
It puts my pathetic effort to shame.

I know, I need more PPP ... and more PPP ...

[spexy]

Those beads are brilliant Katherine, better than my attempts at that tut and don't put yourself down Liza(? sorry don't know your name) that bead is lovely.

[Nicknack]

Here is my pathetic attempt, but it's the first time I've posted anything for this (just worked out how to post photos - thank you for posting advice in FH).

That's a great colour in the first one, Nick.
Has any one other than me found it hard to get the colour of the rod to show when it's melted?
Thanks for the moral support, Linda!

Beth

Beth

Thank you Beth, I think yours is lovely, as are all on here.  I did find it difficult to get the colour to show, hence over white and over clear over itself, which didn't really work.

Nick

[spexy]

Ah, Beth, thanks for adding your name.

I love your top bead Nick, it looks lovely over the white and the touch of silver glass is fab.

[tomcat]

lots of lovely beads, bloomin typical, I did not think I had any of this but I just found a half rod in the back of the jar
ah well next challenge please, and with a bit of luck I will have some that I do know about !
