Hummmmmm, that colour is quite yummy, I think that will have to be my next buy.

Here are some things. I don't like yellow ochre as a colour, so it's been a bit interesting seeing if I can make anything I like from it.

First I did these, with grass green and dark red brown. Don't like them much, and I have to work on my dots.


Then I tried rolling it in silver leaf. Ooh, it went blue! Also with dark ivory and dark red brown.


I tried it with some of Kaz's frits. (Green Green Grass and Tobacco Road). Some dark red brown stringer. Hmm, not quite what I was hoping for.


This one's turquoise with very fine yellow ochre stringer, then dark red brown stringer spirals on top. I dragged the surface a bit on purpose when adding the spirals.


Whoops, I forgot to include these! Amber and yellow ochre. I like these ones  On the BHB the stringer sunk in a bit when I was heating it a lot to round it off.

I love what you've all done with this colour, it's probably my least favourite colour but i don't think i've really given it a chance...

That bracelet is gorgeous

[♥♥Tan♥♥]

Its so nice seeing this glass making an outing and I am liking the results

[Yellow friend]

These flowers were done with yellow ochre and lemon with straw yellow on top - does that count?

[Ness]

Ooooooh, I'm loving this.  Gorgeous beads!

I love that bracelet, Fiona and Tan - that giraffe is too cute 

Had a look through my rods but I don't have any...  It is going on my shopping list though!

This is Yellow Ochre, Clio and various decoration... The bit in the bottom right hand corner isn't mucky looking in real life - not sure why it looks like that on camera:

[cbeadies]

I found some of this colour in my starter pack, still unused!

Cobalt with yellow ochre dots - I quite like this colour combo. Same beads, with / without flash.



The twistie on these lentils is yellow ochre / orange / red - the ochre seems to be a bit overpowered by the other colours but it is there, honest! I am slowly getting the hang of the lentil press.

I love yellow ochre, it is a favourite colour to wear as well as bead, these are just simple tumbled pebbles but I like them.
This is a great thread with some lovely beads.
