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

[Shirley]

That's very sweet of you Madeline, and totally unnecessary! But if you're asking, I like purples, teals, aquas

[sarah t]

these are one of my 'mix and match' sets (think i get bored easily )

acid yellow,ivory,iris blue ,clear,aurea

[Yellow friend]

Love the butterflies Madeleine - & I wouldn't think you were copying Lorna's, your's have their own style but I know what you mean.  It often worries me if you get an inspiration from someone else's work - but who was the first to apply dots and make them into flowers etc., there are only so many ways you can apply stringer but then again I find its hard enough to copy my own stuff let alone anyone else's.(That's why I'm pants at sets )

Ooh, interesting reaction between the yellow and the rubino there Chris. 

I've pulled myself some twisties using Acid Yellow this morning so this afternoon I shall see if I can turn them into anything decent. 

[Amber]

I don't have any of this, I'm not really a yellow person  Very interesting to see what you're all doing with it though!

[MadelineBunyan]

I have discovered that I have 2 batches of this, one looks paler in the rod, thought it would cook the same...no, it cooks pale. I like it lots! pic later!

[Pandanimal]

Here are my acid yellow beads.
I'm very pleased with how these came out.
First, a set of tiny beads, 6 are acid yellow and the other 6 are mystic yellow. they are all wrapped round with lauscha teal stringer.



And a set of tabs made by gravity swirling acid yellow and mystic yellow, then encasing, then squishing!

[MadelineBunyan]

ooh, its yummy next to that turquoise!

here is a pic showing the 2 acid yellow batches I have

I love this yellow (Tan converted me) and find it particularly lends itself to critters.

A set of buttons done with Lush Julies Button press, and decorated using some homemade frit  made out of old Neals Yard blue glass bottles!!

[GaysieMay]

Yellow is not a colour I'm drawn to, but looking at all this treasure, I might have to reconsider, particularly nice buttons there Bob. 

[polly put the kettle on]

Very kindly Sue (awrylemming) sent me a couple of acid yellow rods so these are what i made
