Gorgeous show!

[Fruddy]

Wow, what superb work on here so early in the week.

Steph - I absolutely adore your fiery heart (that's not a declaration of love by the way!)    

I have been working on trying to perfect something for a few weeks now. 

As you know, a lot of transparents go murky/dark over silver leaf and wire, particularly colours like red, orange and yellow and I have been wracking my tiny brain to try and find a way around it, which it think that I have cracked consistently now. 

I love rainbow colours but also adore the shine that silver foil provides, so wanted to try and combine the two.  I got very excited when I first managed it in "Spellbinder" below, but thought that it was a fluke, however my heart did skip a beat a bit when I pulled "Keep the Secret" out of the kiln this morning, as I wasn't sure that I could do it again!   

Anyway, sorry for the hog and thanks for looking.

Wow, fab beads every one.  My favourite is Dee Dee's first heart - truly beautiful!

[Dee Dee]

Steph - I absolutely adore your fiery heart (that's not a declaration of love by the way!)    

Are you sure?

Thanks everyone for the fab comments about my hearts!

Beautiful reactions Rachel, you make the most stunning BHB's!
You got fab colours Shirley from the Chalcedony!

Another couple of hearts from me....

Can I ask how you make the hearts with the one side clear with the flower inside and the what looks like steampunk jacket round the outside??

I think that might just qualify as a trade secret.
