Really nice colour combination Mark

Beautiful beads, Mark, I love the butterfly heart and wow, blue over white looks lovely (have loads of white, never known what to do with the gloopy mess) so Trudi's beads are gorgeous

[helbels]

Lovely colours Mark!

hmm second attempt at posting my pics.... I need a new brain.First piccy is Ghee and light sky blue and the second is orange and light sky blue. Its the closest to baby blue I had.

The blue and orange combination is especially nice and summery.

Is it just me or is this a very difficult colour to photograph?! It's taken me ages to get a fairly reasonable picture... anyway, here's my effort!

Ooh, lovely   the ruby gold looks pretty over blue, I inherited a large tub of it and never had much success (I use it as a paperweight )

Some beautiful beads peeps, perhaps I'll have another go if I get some torch time this weekend.

Is there a special way to work ruby gold? I just stuck it on and melted it in

[Skyblue]

Love the blue patterned ones they look really delicate and pretty

[helbels]

Here's some from me using CIM Zachary (described as an opaque baby blue, so I figured it would count!) plus some Effetre baby blue transparent.  There's dichro in the central bead for a bit of sparkle.
