Jellyfish and other boro

[liquidglass]

I love the colour choices, esp 20 and 21. The green flambe on the back of 19 is fantastic.

I made some Christmas jellyfish 

Jelly 22. This is Chinese white, Momka carmen red, and the backing is Momka sparkly green. I like the carmen red over white on the cap, but on its own in the tentacles it thins out too much. That's why there's such a gap between the upper and lower tentacles: the outer ones were all red and they don't show up enough. The sparkly green's transparent and not a super-saturated one - used like this, the sparkle I got looks more like airy glass. Not bad, just not blingy.



Jelly 23. I made cane with Chinese white encased in Momka cherry brandy for this. The tentacles are a mixture of that and pure white ones. I think the cane worked well. It's a pinker red than the carmen, though. The backing for this is Momka ivy green, which is an absolutely gorgeous colour, reasonably opaque.



Here they are side-by-side.

Ive just read all the way through this post and the jellyfish are amazing Heather . Its fascinating watching how you are experimenting with the colours and backgrounds etc..

Jelly 24

I used two Momka striped shorts for this, applying them as twisties. The jellyfish is the blue/beige cane. I used the pink/clear one as the background, then put a stripe of cobalt behind it to make it show up better (had no idea before applying the pink how much was clear and whether any of it would strike). I had to adjust the photo colouring a bit in the top 2 pics - the pink-coral was showing up as bright red, which it really isn't in reality!



Cane


Anemone
This anemone cab was made with the blue/green Momka short and a small dot of blue exotic on the back.

Beautiful jellyfish as always Heather, but I was more taken with the nail polish display

Fantastic Heather !!
I love using the striped, you can get some really lovely colour combinations


 

[Kalorlo]

Thank you!

LOL Pat! That's one of the magnetic polishes that do a mica-shift type of thing.

Oh my I can't believe I have not come across this thread before. I absolutely love jellyfish.
I had a wee go making teeny ones on my hot head and just love it. These are stunning.......
Just so beautiful. Cheers Claire Xx

Heather,they are beautiful

Jelly 26 - Sasha's oil slick (not treated right I think, but hey) and Chinese white, with GA peacock frit on the cap and background, backed by Momka beige/brown short. A bit wibbly-shaped because I noticed a surface defect after the first time through the kiln, so removed that next time, but didn't sort the shape - I was just hanging on to it with pliers rather than puntying it up again.



Momka short - went pastel and checked when encased, but looks way more interesting on the back surface!



Jelly 28 with checks - Momka beige/brown short backed by GA dragon's eye frit. The in-hand pic has the best idea of what the background really looks like most of the time.



Jelly 27 - blue exotic and Chinese white, backed with Momka yellow/pearly green cane.



Obtainium gremlin - my first gremlin in boro. Need to add some colours with more contrast to my eye murrini - you can see the slight lines in very bright light like here, but otherwise it looks more like uniform misty teal. (And use black for the pupil - I just went with cobalt this time). I scummed up the back rather too. I should dilute my *obtainiums for these, I think! Wasn't intending it to be quite so opaque.



Harvest beads - NS silver bullet with GA dragon's eye frit. My first boro beads. I'm not sure I like making beads in boro - getting them into shape is very annoying (these are *not* the roundest...), and pendants are much more fun. They are very pretty, though.



Multi BHB - NS multi with GA dragon's eye frit. Swampy.

[Rascal]

They are lovely, the gremlin is really fun. My favourite is Jelly 27, the 'tenticles' look stunning the way they 'swirl' in the water. 

[Kalorlo]

Jelly 29 is NS silver seaweed and Chinese white, with dark orange backing.



I made dragon eye murrini and another gremlin (NS rootbeer body, over clear and encased. Silver bullet lips and eyelid, random end-of-pull vine twistie).

Beautiful work Heather.

Love the jellyfish and the gremlin - I am also impressed by the paintwork on your fingernail
