It feels like Show and Tell time

[donner]

Time to post what you've been working on lately. Whether its a new or old technique, whether you're new or experienced at the torch, haul out those pics and post your work here...I'm in need of a good Show N Tell fix..and I'll start:


Some encased flowers I've been making lately...


show us your stuff!

I really love those Donner. What a unique, fresh and fun color combo that *works*.

(I made nine beads tonight, I will try and have pics by Tuesday! )

[margi]

Yes, Donner, you're absolutely right--it IS time for some eye candy! I was going to start such a thread myself, because we've been getting awfully technical around here lately and there hasn't been much to look at!

Lovely florals, really lovely. I haven't mastered those layered petals very well yet myself, so I really appreciate seeing your's. But I've gotten some cool results with other things, so will post some pix later tonight...

Thanks for getting the ball, er, beads, rolling...

I adore those flowers! I've been on a floral kick too, no pics though they are still on one of these 2 dozen discs that have been staring at me for days screaming......fix me!

Well, it's 4:35 a.m.--seems like a good time to post some pix. I can't seem to keep my hands off the silver lately--actually, hardly ever!--so all of these involve silver in one form or another. These kinds of beads are all over my table right now--guess it's hard to keep a jeweler away from the metals--even when she's working with glass! The first bead is about 2" long, the second, 1":

And here's a necklace, and a close-up of the focal bead:

I posted pix of the necklace already in the Pewter Findings thread, but I think it got sort of lost in there. If you look at the whole album in which these pictures rest, you'll see lots more silvery beads, some of them quite old now...

I did all these pix on my HP 2110 3-in-1 machine, BTW. (Too lazy to deal with lighting for the digi-cam at dawn...) I'm always surprised at how well the scanner does (thank you again, Sara darlin;, for recommending it--and for everything else!)

Bring on your own pix, kids!

Hope this works:

Tangerine Mango Pink Lemonade Liquid Sunshine Droplets!


(24K gold fumed onto trans pink and another trans color which I cannot remember.)

This one is white gold (that has palladium in it) fumed onto rubino and trans pale aqua.

Hi Donner... BEAUTIFUL floral beads! I enjoyed your post... thanks... Gracie

[gracie]

Margi, BEAUTIFUL beads! Your whole album is fabulous... especially loved your "crazy bracelet"... what fun... GORGEOUS colors and design.

Take care, Gracie

Lovely encased florals Donner, such precise dot placement for those.

Margi, my favorite bead is the smallcrop...it reminds me of a peacock feather w/a silvery/gold edge.

Donnabee, those are beautiful and I like the name...Tangerine Mango Pink Lemonade Liquid Sunshine Droplets!

had some fun w/ Halloween witchs and cats lately, here are a few,
