OK I've had another play with foils and added some paint details.
Mostly trying to get the finish to be better than the last time. Improvements certainly. The only set that isn't shown is one I call Starless - I'm saving that one (don't get too excited it is a very simple design) for when it is made into jewellery.

Here goes (these are on my flickr btw)

Pendants (only one side showing)


Streamers and confetti both side




Passionate Purple




Broken Hearts



Unexplored Nebula Earrings




And one of my Works in progress but you can see some more wrap beads. I really like the foil and copper powder ones. The focal (not happy with it) is Carnelian and copper. The two side focals are copper/sterling set art glass cabs by our Tan!




I expect you've dropped off to sleep after all that lot.

Michele

Lovely pendants and I really like your streamers and confetti

Di

Those are great.

I love the copper and carnelian one. Mixing polymer beads with other types of beads rocks! A real Mixed Media piece!

Love Broken Hearts too - really eye-catching colours and what a cool name!

Emma

Wow - you've been busy - and made some fantastic beadies

Oh yes. Another cracking batch.

You're getting good at this, hun.

btw...I WANT that heart cutter.

Thanks gals - gosh I want so many of the cutters! Where to start? Anyway I have a few so I best get on with what I have until I decide whether I'm any good at this.

Wow Michele, they're all gorgeous!

Wow. These are all so amazing. You've been so creative. I really like the effect you have achieved on the unexplored nebula ones.

Keep going. I enjoy seeing your work.

All the best

Sam

Michele they are amazing I love them all What a very talented lady you are chick

Thanks Liz and Sam (and Claire - you snuck in there!). Sam the effect was to use foil (red blue purple) for some of the pendants I made. The scrap I balled up and then put the scrappy bits of foil around the ball and gave it a real good quick roll around in my hands - that put more foil specks on the clay. Then tried to make a lentil (in my case a rather flabby lentil) but the effect is quite pretty in a subtle way.
