Ordered some gold leaf from two different sellers on eBay yesterday - and both packages arrived today! Very impressed. Sadly, I'm away til Sunday so can't try it out! Still no good source of silver foil. Leaf a-plenty, but no foil.

I'm in heaven - I love this thread, so many pretty sparkly things - brings out the magpie in me.

You called?

Sparkly I can do, and lots of.....
Sparkly glass/pixie dust/silver

Then there's CZs, the little ones are OK, but put a 5mm one under glass and there's compatibility issues...

And finally (yes I can hear the sigh of relief that we've got to the end) it's shiny rather than sparkly, but has that 'ding' from the sun hitting it in just the right spot!

Silver on order from Martin as we speak. Thanks for the heads-up!

Oh Helen...lovely.

Here are my silver sparkly BHBs

Ooh, I'm getting brave now, entering my very first challenge on here!!!!

I used silver wire to give the beads their sparkle, and them teamed with lots of Swarovski to make a very sparkly bracelet!

LilLizaJane · May 21, 2011, 10:53:39 PM

VERY pretty, Gaynor! Lovely colour - ink blue?

Dee Dee · May 22, 2011, 03:22:13 AM

Lovely bracelet Gaynor!

These have been in the gallery, but as they are sparkly I'd put them here too!

They couldn't be more glittery, ....or sparkly ....Madelaine!

GaysieMay · May 22, 2011, 11:45:19 AM

Mmmmm beautiful - love your bracelet Sarah, Madeline those little twirly beads are absolutely stunning and Stephanie I was drooling over those nuggets in the gallery.

MadelineBunyan · May 22, 2011, 11:56:08 AM

Thanks Pris & Gay.

I think I should make a set (I know, don't fall over in shock, well maybe if I actually do produce a set, then you can fall over in shock) of those little silver glass ones. but that would mean I'll have to make another twisty for the swap...I used 2 bits that broke off for those

or I could just make more twisties...shame!
