Oh er, first go at focals & first time submitting something to a Monthly Challenge!. I made these yesterday, doing a simplified version of Shelley Bellamy's tutorial. Not ready for the whole thing yet! How about '20,000 leagues under the sea'?!

Another Harry Potter reference. Acid yellow (hmmm, why am I using that?) this time paired with Slytherin.

These didn't look much on the mandrel and quite nasty in a heap while being cleaned, but when I threaded them together for photographing I thought they looked quite good together.

Trouble with being given such a broad theme to play with is that I had no idea even where to start, so I'm very impressed with the rest of you for actually managing to pick particular books.

I still have no idea what's in my book, but it does have marbled end papers:



Credit where it's due: I have my mate Gwen to thank for this idea.
I think this may end up as a bracelet (strung on knotted leather, perhaps?) Also, the base colour for the bead in the middle, and half of the one on its right, was the rod labelled "tongue pink" in my mixed pack. Could have fooled me; I now think its other name of "striking terracotta" refers to it being thrown in the clay plant pot with the rest of the eff white.

Hi Gaynor,

I love your caterpillars, especially the different expressions on them. Lovely interpretation of the theme.
