P.S. I used Kaz'z Magical Mystery Tour Frit, which is gorgeous!

still playing with DH, this is terra 2 with antique clear encasing, adds a bit of the blue green lustre, the photo really does not do it justice, there is a nice sparkle as you turn the bead in the light

the antique clear is really nice to encase with and i will try it with others

Gorgeous Helen

I'm afraid mine are rather boring, I am completely without mojo right now

My first attempt at sugared beads with frit from Vicki Veebee:

For those who make them, should I have left the frit more 'sugary', i.e., less flashing through the flame?

They look OK to me! If you leave the frit more sugary, it can be sharp and scratchy too!

tomcat · October 17, 2011, 12:08:11 PM

Shirl · October 18, 2011, 10:12:37 AM

Antique clear and CiM rainforest, with kronos shards:

And I used antique clear for the encasing in this bead - it's got rainforest with a wrap of dark silver brown as the base and has cracked just through the base (I keep encasing CiM opals when I know it's not a good idea for most of them...)

Are we allowed to post twice here? Just realised that my first commissioned piece fits in here nicely....large beads with silver and spacers etched.
