AUGUST 2011 - COLOUR OF THE MONTH CHALLENGE!! WINNER NOW UP!!!

Pandanimal · August 03, 2011, 08:09:15 AM

I have three different effetra yellows. I wonder if any of them is acid. I hope it says on the label.
I want to have time to make at least one bead for the challenge. I like doing the challenge, but summer holidays and all, time is sparse.
Fingers crossed.

Ooooooo my favourite colour!!

It would seem I have 5 effetra yellows.
one labelled bright acid yellow 591416, one rod labelled 591408 which is a much more acid yellow than the bundle of glass labelled 591408 which is almost orange. I have 591412 and 591404 as well. are any of these the right yellow?

416 is Bright Acid Yellow Julia, thats the one for this month

408 is Opaque Medium Lemon Yellow, which have probably varied a bit between batches?
412 is Opaque Dark Yellow and 404 is Daffodil Yellow.

Hope that helps? xx

I love acid yellow! I love the name, it promises something so bright!
I'm sure the yellow here is acid yellow (I've not got many yellows)

And this is the bracelet made for me by Helen (HelsBels) last year in the bracelet swap, acid yellow teamed with creamsicle and turquoise. The little green beads Helen used also go well with these colours.

some ring tops with acid yellow

the butterfly is very much my design, but is the flower a bit too Lorna?
Lorna, I'm asking that of you too!

I'd like to make more, but if people think it looks like a copy then I wont bother.

Lovely, Madeline, and no, you carry on. You've got the 70's funky vibes whereas Lorna is more folky!

MadelineBunyan · August 06, 2011, 10:55:55 AM

thankyou. think I'll lose those raised dots though.
had to fight myself not to put a raised dot in the middle of the flower!
