New items of glassiness

These are a bit green, aren't they? Effetre Sage Green 019 (which isn't anything like a sage green) is one of my favourite greens. The opaque green here is CiM Meadow. The two of them together make me think of woodland and trees.

I've also made a couple of strands of some good old spotty beads. These are CiM Aegean encased with a thin layer of clear, decorated with Effetre Light Turquoise 232 spots. The clear encasing layer may seem pointless but it definitely adds something to a bead. A bit of depth, I think.

The spacers here are CiM Peacock Feather.

At the end of yesterday's shed session I had a few dipped mandrels left so I faffed about with some frit beads. I ended up with a few of them and amongst those few were a matching pair so I've made them into earrings. 

The beads are Effetre Dark Lavender 081 and the frit is one of the first frits I ever bought - Val Cox's Light Iris Blue. I've left it slightly raised for texture and I reduced it to a silvery-blue metallic sheen.

The little flowers are silver-plated pewter. I showed Chris the finished earrings and he said the flowers look like the Demogorgon off Stranger Things which isn't exactly the vibe I was going for but I'll take it.

The beads and earrings in this post are all available in my shop.
