Re: CiM "show and do tell" Competition

[Shadowdarner]

...and another one

CIM: Elphaba, Creamsicle     Vetrofond: Lt. Green Trans, Dk. Aqua Trans.     Effretre: Lt. Ivory and Crystal Clear



I'm more happy with the little 'sea fans' in the large clear dots on this one! It Can't be a 'Stegosaurus' though!

[Shadowdarner]

Here are a few more...



CIM: Butter Pecan, Simply Berry, Sepia and clear

Effetre dicro strip

Twistie is made from Butter Pecan, Simply Berry, Sepia and Effretre lt. Ivory....The reaction wasn't at all expected but I think if I would have 'wound' it tighter it would look like a trilobite or shell...

[Shadowdarner]

CIM: Ghee, Celadon and clear

Effetre: Opal yellow and Copper green

Wow! Ghee has so many different personalities depending on what glass you pair it with and how hot you work it!  Don't ask me what I did to get the topaz color.....maybe someone can tell me since this is the first time I've worked with CIM.

[Shadowdarner]

CIM: French blue, Glacier and Sapphire

Vetro: Trans pale blue

Effetre: lt. ivory and crystal clear

CiM Stoneground with SIS.

[Ness]

My first solo beads, Kryptonite with SIS.  A waste of glass really but I'm learning what works and what doesn't!!


I'd better get working on some more!


I originally put this in a double-pic post on the previous page.  Sorry, edited to comply with the one pic per post rule

I love those beads Heather - I've been admiring them and wondering if they were stoneground  I've fallen in love with it too - these are stoneground, wasabi & brick red with SIS. The reddish tinge in some of the beads is from the brick red -  there are some very pale blue & a pinkish tinges coming from the SIS where it is just with stoneground.

Those kryptonite beads are great too - isn't a wonderful colour?

Coming screeching round the corner to meet the deadline:

CiM Very Berry & Effetre White (and intense black, but not on the CiM)


I was just starting to get a bleed when I managed to finish shaping it, so handle with care and not too much heat if you want a crisp distinctive line between the two.

And Dirty Martini with Effetre Intense Black (=Lace) and Effetre Standard Black (=Flower), etched.


So many gorgeous beads on here!! I keep meaning to try Kryptonite, my stash remains untouched so far!
