The Mirus Beads challenge for August 2005 - Alice in Wonderland.98 viewsAlice peering over the mushroom at the hookah smoking caterpillar.
I had the brilliant idea to make these multi-piece beads. Remind me not to attempt this again unless I have a kiln. This was the 2nd Alice I made and her skirt broke whilst taking her off the mandrel.
The first Alice was too tall and skinny. I suppose I could have entered her as the 'growing Alice'. lol
The signed blue mushroom was a perfect find at a Antiques Fair that was in town for the week.

Mirus Vessel Challenge - December 200537 viewsTechnique: Hollow bead made on end of mandrel.
Colours Used: Light and Dark Turquoise; Coral; Ivory; Lapis and Intense Black. All Effetre I think, but there could be some Vetrofond in there as well... Not sure...
I wanted to use reactive colours so I could turn the heat up and get that ancient look to it.
