Such a nice glass, but I found it quite stiff and couldn't help getting some bubbles.

I got some antique clear out today, now i remember why i don't use it!

It's sooooo stiff, i wrangled it into a bead eventually though so pictures later maybe

I must have several different batches of this. Strange how they all look the same in the rod and before you etch them.
And then they do this :-

Beads with lots of different size holes. Top string are 1 mm next round is 2.4 and the last string is 1.6. In the centre from the top they are 5 mm, 6 mm and 3 mm in the little cluster to the right.

Hi
This is is my first ever post on FH - but loved the idea of a monthly colour challenge and I thought I'd give it a go! Never used Flickr either so hope it works!! Lovely work everyone! Very inspiring and a little daunting to a newbie like me!!

Here is Sea Breeze - Antique and Ivory etched

Lovely bead, Claire...and welcome to FH

Trudi · October 31, 2011, 03:43:20 PM

Ohh Claire Louise - that is a beauty!!

Julia - that colour difference is strange!!

I love this colour etched, but for some reason it seems to be very hard to get it clean properly afterwards. Anyone else have that problem?

Well seeing as I dont have my own set up yet and pay by the hour to use one, I dont have my own glass except some lauscha clear which is gorgeous , I have to say all of the beads are beautiful and I am loving the colour chosen .

GaysieMay · October 31, 2011, 05:23:51 PM

So many beautiful beads this month - I bought this colour especially for this challenge and I'm so pleased I did - I think I'm in love!

These are both hollows with a bead inside - finally cracked it (poor choice of word!) Only just now have I seen how mucky they still are - back to the wash bowl before coring!

Think I have a found a new LOVE-FAV colour hehe
