The Reject Pile133 viewsHaving to make 8 of the same bead using only red and white proved a bit of a challenge for me.
I don't know how everyone else went with theirs, but here are 65 of mine that didn't make the cut.

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.

'Ocean' - Eni Oken style wire wrapped bangle.186 viewsMy second wire wrapped bangle ala Eni Oken. One of the forums I am a member of was having an Elements challenge with 'Water' as the theme. Being the ocean lover that I am, I immediately thought of making something that would show all the colours of the ocean. I added a couple of my hand made lampwork fish beads as well.

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.

"18" Butterfly141 viewsThis one was a bit more of a challenge to make. I should have taken shots of each step as I just made it up as I went along and by the time I got to start on the second wing, well, i had to more or less make that up as I went along as well... Seed beads, cats eye beads and lampwork beads make up this one. Wired again on florists wire. Happy 18th Chrissie. :-)

These Scrollwork lampwork beads are all made with Moretti 204 White and Vetrofond Clear. Clear Dichroic was used in the one on the far right and silver leaf was incorporated in the one at the top left, which turned the bead more golden that silver.
