Amber, Red, Yellow and Silver Black medley....

I am making a necklace and bracelet for my sister-in-law's 40th birthday, those are the initial beads.... just hoping they won't break until I can send them to Tuffnell to be batch annealed.....

Lovely!

Merci Tinker :-)

If you pop over to Frit Happens there's a long list of people who are happy to anneal for you - including some who would be a great deal closer than sending stuff up to Yorkshire. I'm pretty sure there are at least two members in Luton.

Out of interest, what are you keeping your bubbles in? It looks a bit shallow from the picture - they work much better with a bit of depth. The little miniature metal pails designed as pot plant holders work brilliantly for this.

De rien! I do like the silver streaking in the top one.
Good eye George, I didn't even notice that. I have the big metal plant potty-type things from Ikea.

Liking the Medley Beez,
I use a terracotta (not sure of spelling ) pot to keep mine in.

Very nice!

Hi

Sorry I fell asleep last night.... 9:30 pm on a saturday eve, I'm so rock & roll!!

MizGeorge I keep them in a Roses' chocolate tin, I will take your advice and change it. I have the same thing as Tinker mentions that I use as a bin in the kichen... but I think it is rusty inside now so may need to buy a new one.... Thank you so much for the tip. I'll check FripHappens, just discovered this last night, great to know there may be people in Luton that could anneal for me, would be quicker than sending them to Tuffnell.

Tinker - It is the handmade the Silver black from Effetre...

Thanks Batty (Nice to meet you!) and Mead Moon :-)

Ooh Beez, loverly colours in those!

Thank you Lisa, I think it will make a nice necklace

Lovely autumnal colours in those beads and very attractive patterning.

Thanks Odonata, I'm busing with ideas for the necklace and bracelet design.... I'm so impatient.... shame I have to send it off for annealing

Nice work Bea, love the colours.

Love the colours, look forward to seeing the finished piece.

Thank you very much, you are too kind.... finish piece in a couple of weeks (time to anneal)

I have had a play with the beads tonight.... sending them off for annealing tomorrow (could not find anyone in Luton or in the area)... I came up with this as a pendant.... made the coils (are they coils?!) myself! Quite proud of it all! lol!

I live in Kent but would happy to batch anneal for you if you pop them in the post

Nice coils Bea it works very well together.

Thanks Lakelady, I may take you up on that next time.... I had everythign packed to send to Tuffnell for this time but thank you so much.

Cornish, thank you, I quite like these coils!! lol!!
