MONTHLY COLOUR CHALLENGE - August 2013

[Yeske]

Wow, that's really really cool! I love how round they are, and how complex (given the fact that only a few colours were used)

[GaysieMay]

Oh my word - what a treat for the old eyeballs since I last looked - gorgeous! 

[AnnaSpanna]

Time to go break out the blues I reckon....

[AnnaSpanna]

Now I have the blues - couldn't make diddly squat that I was happy with.  I officially do not like baby blue or any derivative of pale blue.  Am most unimpressed with myself!  But here are my paltry offerings nonetheless showing various attempts of baby blue trans and any other pale blue I had to hand.

Those are really lovely Any combination of the upper three would make a gorgeous set of asymmetric earrings, I'm sure.

Some lovely stuff this month!

Here is my offering.  I had 2 rods of each colour, so I made a sort of set of one colour on another, both colours with frit, then one of each etched, one transparent dotted and etched, a couple of lentils, an encased flowery, and a disc (to try out my new roller!).  I apologise to Gay for my (inexpert) copying of her style with copper wire, but I had some wire, and hers always look so beautiful.  I intend to keep it, not offer it for sale, so I hope she doesn't mind.

Love all the different styles you have used Nick , the necklace is very nice !

[Nicknack]

Thank you, Lorna.  It was fun to make.  The only problem is that now I'm not sure if I have enough left of the two colours to make some little beads for earrings to go with it.  Haven't got time to get more, as I want them for my trip to America next week.  I've got a couple of stub ends, so I'll see what I can do (I foresee singed fingers, unless I take off the labels and join the stubs to another rod )
