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

[dangerousbead]

Oh dear I'm almost too embarrassed to put this on, everything is so gorgeous, but I'm well chuffed as it's the first time I've used murrini, which the lovely honeybun Sue Awrylemming generously sent to me 
So I'll cringe and bear it for her sake.

There are some beauties here! Here's my Bucket & Spade set;

I've been playing a bit with freeze & fuse. My first starfish and seahorses turned out too thick for jewelry, so I decided to try and make a tealight holder instead.

[k00m]

Well my entry is a whole combination of firsts for me. My first seaside bead, first successful application of murrini, first use of my own murrini, and first window bead. I was trying to create the illusion of looking into a rock pool, but it hasn't worked that great. I was obviously working too low in the flame for one part, because the transparent section has got a dirty sheen to it. I do like the murrini though (thought I better say something positive about it ).

Thanks Gaysie

[Veebee]

All gorgeous, but particularly loving Bucket and Spade, that lovely heart and the script transfers, yum!!

I finally got round to making some challenge beads, it feels like forever since the last time! These aren't brilliant, a work in progress, but my gas ran out as I was coming to the end of the bottom right one 



My first ever rockpools, thanks for taking me out of my comfort zone 

[helbels]

Wow Vee, they are fantastic, they have got so much depth to them! 

[Veebee]

Aw, thanks Helen  I just hope I haven't overdone the frit and they survive the kiln
