MONTHLY COLOUR CHALLENGE - November & December

[Krysia@No98]

   
The colour of the month challenge is jointly sponsored by Off Mandrel (thank you Sean and Gillian!) and Frit Happens!

I have joined the two months worth of challenges together as I have a feeling all of you will be far busier then me over the next 7 and a bit weeks and I know at the mo I'm manic!

Each month the lucky winner, chosen by a random number selector, will receive a £20 gift voucher to spend on-line with Off Mandrel. The draw will take place at the start of **January** Last entries before midnight of the last day of December so make sure you get your entries in to be in with a chance to win the goodies!

A reminder that the entries should be new work.

So, the colours for the month for November & December 2013 is Transparent Red (striker) (this will be Effetre 591076). Come on let's see your creations!

Good luck!

Amazing devil, I love it!

I used trans red, and then swirls of helios on these beads...

Love the way the helios has darkened the red , they are lovely beads Gaynor.

That devil is amazing!  And those red and helios beads.  Don't think I have trans red in my abundant collection.

I made fish! 



The tails still need some work, but I'm improving.

(Two have the transparent red, the third one doesn't!)

I do wish my attempts to make something sculptural looked like the things they're meant to look, instead of just melting into a blob and falling apart afterwards.
Jane, not only do your fish look like fish, but the two red ones make me think of strawberries-and-cream flavoured sweets.

I decided to make myself an earring pair and ended up in my default setting of "slap some dark ivory and sparkle on it and swirl it about a bit, and you're done".
I'm pleased with what the ivory did (my first attempt at homemade shards, BTW), but the rest turned out to be more tricky than expected. In fact, I need to make another one to actually have a proper pair.
Clockwise from top right, in chronological order:
1. Didn't like the design enough, and anyway the red struck a little unevenly.
2. I do like this one, but this is the last thing I could make before the rod ran out.
3. ... and then the other rod I had turned out to be a slightly different colour. Still, there's enough of that left to repeat number 3.

Aww thanks Kathy - can't see your pics???

Jane.

Aha! Can see pics now! Love the cone shape and the swirls! The goldstone really sets off the red/cream combination - very nice.
