Themed S&T: Double Helix

[Isabelle]

Finally, I'm managing to get something out of the silver glass!!

[Carol]

Well these aren't anywhere near the same league as Isabelle, but I had a bash with the Gaia last night, got reasonable results. The pics aren't brilliant, I struggled a bit to get the colours to show up but hopefully you'll get the idea!

Hello people!  So I have been on the torch since February and decided to splash out on a mixed pack of Double Helix from Tuffnells and I am now officially OBSESSED!!  Why didn't someone tell me how addictive this glass is?  Here are my favourites so far (they are thumbnails which should enlarge if clicked...I hope lol!)

I just can't believe what this glass will do even on a Hot Head, amazing, I would love to see other peoples DH beads too....

Here are a couple from me, I have had the most success with Aurae and Ekho. I have had zip success with luna, and I haven't tried triton yet. I'm on a HH too.
Ekho:




And early experiments with Aurae:

Sorry, bit of a hog!

[Jennie Lamb]

So a few more experiments from the weekend: 1st one is Luna, 2nd is Luna & Aion, 3rd is Nyx & Psyche, 4th is Nyx I think!, 5th is Luna and Gaia.  They are all thumbnails so should get bigger if clicked.  My macro lens is so good it has even picked up all the dog & cat hairs and dust that I omitted to clean of them whilst photographing  OOOPS!

I have also made a little pendant with some of my Triton ones and I am testing ebay see if I get a nibble!!   So cheekily....I think this is the link if anyone is interested!!  http://shop.ebay.co.uk/jennie8789/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=25

I made this one, its Triton believe it or not. And can I replicate it? not a chance!



Triton dots over chalcedony.

C'mon then, lets see 'em.

I tried Clio over CIM mermaid, then encased.

Hi Julie, can't believe the colours you've got I'm jealous!  I have been playing too, have some images on show and tell this week but have been experimeting with different clear and opaque bases heres a selection, it seems to change dramatically depending on the base, that little mink bead - base of chalcedony has a real pinky purple to the bumps that is lovely but doesnt really show in the photo and a single unincased bead a base of CIM Grumpy Bear that was quite pretty.
 

Can't wait to see more........Lets see them!!

Gorgeous colours girls -its lovely to see all the different effects , this is Clio on Amethyst , it goes so well with a Victoriana twist !

[LesleyMac]

I like the range of colours with Clio from dark to light, its really nice.

Here are some of mine

Large hole flower focal





A range of round beads of varying shades of pink




and a bicone which has a lovely peachy tone that doesen't really show up in the photo

[Lush!]

I tried Clio on dark transparent teal


and compared it to Psyche also on teal (Psyche on left, Clio on right)

[Veebee]

Pure Clio, heavily reduced on the left, light reduction on the right:



Oh look, hello me! 

I have a couple of encased ones but just couldn't photograph them, Clio is one tricksy lady!

BTW, the BHB is only the second one I have ever attempted, I'm so chuffed with it! 

[Clare Scott]

These are pure Clio reduced -



Encased and pure Clio -



Love this glass!! 

[MangoBeads]

Just posted these in Show and Tell but they are Clio so here they are again  Apologies if you have already seen them !

[Sarah]

There are some fantastic beads on here and a fabulous range of colours. I haven't tried my clio yet but this is one of the odd lots which it was based on.



Its a beautiful glass but a pain to photograph!
