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.

Lauscha_1_Supernova_-_Turquoise_base.jpg
Lampwork Beads made with/using Supernova.67 viewsOn rechecking I found that these are made on Moretti MP228 Dark Sky Blue actually, so please just ignore that file name...

Lauscha Supernova base and clear stripes - no oxy.59 viewsWanting to see what this colour would do with lots of propane, I covered the holes up on my Hot Head to see what would happen. On looking closely at this bead in the sunlight, all the Supernova has gone brown/kahki, and you can see some blues, green and browns swirling through it. I shall experiment more with this method...
