Summer challenge

Not sure whether this is allowed since I made it for a different competition, but here's a fused glass pendant that I thought fitted the theme.

Elaine, that is amazing and such fun. It definitely sums up what summer should be like!

It really fits the theme and is just gorgeous. 

Its spot on for the theme Elaine, fantastic blue

I also made this a while back and actually it winged its way to Devon last summer.

Ripples on the sand and a rock pool - sterling silver textured through the rolling mill with lace and of course a pretty glass cab for the pool.

Three pretty pendants.
Like them all. my muse has gone walk about again. Not in a creative mood at all.

Wow they're both gorgeous and so different, but both capture the seaside perfectly!

That's gorgeous Lynne. I love the texture and the colours. Mmm... lace through the rolling mill...

Sounds good, I'd kill for a rolling mill lol!

That's a real beauty, Lynne. The ripples in the sand are just perfect.

Thank you ladies, I was actually sorry to see that one go.

Elaine, I have had some great fun stuffing all sorts of things through the mill to texture, sandpaper, watercolour parchment, feathers, netting, more or less anything with a bit substance  to it but not steel if my memory serves me right . I quite often do 2 together by making a "sandwich" of the texturing material, one layer silver and more often than not the other copper.

Lisa, I love my mill,  one of the best bits of kit I invested in, in fact it is so precious that its not allowed in the shed, it lives in the spare room.  I roll down copper wire to make bezel wire, turn round wire into D wire and of course texture.

I'd kill for a rolling mill to Lislarch!! 
Well I'll be hard pushed for a winner out of those choices, is voting over?
They all evoke a summer feel
