Boro colour contest - not for the faint hearted!!

Hey no fair, for us newbies, showing our guu next to the likes of Marcel, exercise in complete humiliation. Could you at least not try to make it look amazing

Secretly, looking forward to seeing what all you clever people can do with it.

If you've got any left Em I'd love to give it a go too!!
You know how much I LOVE colours which give a challenge!!

Hi Stacy, how are you liking your Scorpion? Janet

Unless Marcel knows something I don't, he is on a level playing field making this one look nice

I should just add - I will pick a winner at random from the results shown in this thread. I'm afraid this means you will have to post the lovely results you get to stand a chance of winning

Oh this will be fun

Ah, I seem to have a bit of this, I tried it in implossions and wasn't greatly impressed with it, but I'll have another go and see what I can do too!

One quick question; the rod I have has areas of lighter colours streaked though it, is that usual compared to the rest of the rods?

All posted out today, apart from Stacy and Fi, who will have glass popped in the post tomorrow.
Good luck, folks!

And yes, Glenn - I am afraid so

Looks like I am first up!

Turquoise and Turbo cobalt blue which has come out near black, but mostly guu (and a huge bubble that got trapped

). I twisted the Guu to see what effect there would be as the rods aren't even in tone. I tried a second one, but had alot of problems with those clear striations on the rods starting to bubble.

That's gorgeous!! :O

JKC · February 15, 2011, 12:48:30 PM

Very nice. I am excited, just got my guu. Getting my hair done, so can't play yet, but soon.
