MONTHLY THEME CHALLENGE - February

I love everyone's beads! and they're all so different!

Organic really isn't something I've tried, I think maybe I need to learn a bit of restraint, especially with the silver foil

Here's my effort, front and back of the same bead (apologies for the dodgy photos)

Loving all these beads - stoneground is one of my favourite glasses too. Here are my organic seascape beads - I used a picture Lotti sent me as the inspiration

Sorry picture is so appalling but we haven't seen the sun for a while!

Beads are all really yummy!

Phew - been in the making for weeks! Eventually finished it last night. It's an idea from the Bullseye tip sheets.

Decided to play with my new parallel mashers :-)

This is sediment, ivory and avocado

Plus a beach bead using sediment and ink blue

Decided I like sediment . . . .

Jeannette: that is fab!

Love them all, but I really love the effect of the sediment glass. What is it, where can I get some?

Sediment is an Effetre glass - not sure if it's available in the UK - but if you would like a rod to try PM me your address and I'll fling one in your direction next weekend (I'm working away all this week).

Ohh Jeanette - you finally finished the plate .... it looks amazing. I will have to pop round for close inspection!

Loving the beads everyone ... I've been making quite a few organics since this challenge popped up. Lots of inspiration on here!

Ooo, there are some lovely beads in here.
I don't normally do organics but my mum asked for something to match in with her lapis and I'm quite pleased with how this one turned out...
