Inside Out Bead by Anne Clifton.jpg
One of Anne Cliftons' famous Inside Out Beads194 viewsNow, I'm not into yellow, but I just could not resist this bead. (And Anne didn't have any other colours left by the time I got around to buying anything off her...)

I am amazed at how Anne gets the glass to swirl inside the bead like she does. So impressed in fact, that I think a trip to Perth is on the cards... lol

I'm sure Deano would like to go visit his birthplace of Kalgoorlie... ;-)

'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.2 comments

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.

Lauscha_1_Supernova_-_Supernova_base,_clear_stinger_-_no_oxy.jpg
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...
Lauscha_1_Supernova_-_Hollow.jpg
Lampwork Beads made with/using Supernova. Hollow.88 viewsThis is a rather strong colour so I decided part way through making this hollow to put some clear windows in it to allow light through. It is a gorgeous colour and I shall practice making more hollows with it to take advantage of that fact.

the beaders colour mixing directory - on shelves March 20074 viewsI found it to be an excellent resource for colour mixing, especially as I need to actually see a colourway before I know if I'm going to like it or not. This is one of the project pages showing other colour schemes and the percentage of colours used.

the beaders colour mixing directory: 200 failsafe colour schemes for beautiful beadwork - on shelves March 20078 viewsI have been waiting for this book to come out for the past month and I have not been disappointed. It covers Colour Theory, has heaps of piccies of various Colour schemes including 'colour recipes' which show you the percentages of the colours used in each piece. It also has projects to make, with suggestions for alternative colour schemes, and a fold out colour wheel in the back. An excellent purchase for me.
