I love this glass, LOVE IT!

And now I've got lots of it I was really indulgent and made some nuggets

So what's everybody else doing with Aurae?

Go make another one, Claire! ;D

Sorry, I can't help it - I have to show these two off as well!

Love the Aurae over Mystic Pink, Claire - you inspired me to give that a try (and it worked ;)).

Is your Aurae one of the odds direct from DH, Colette? Its gorgeous, mysterious and gentle ;D

Does anybody ever use Tongue Pink? I picked up a pack at the Flame Off and its intriguing me - goes great with Aurae!

I love this glass..not sure if it has replaced Triton in my affections though.
Gorgeous bead Julie.

Here is a clear hollow from me with Aurae scrolls, it has fumed the hole bead so it all shimmers.

Some more from me.
This is clear with Aurae raked design and ends.
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3639/3487827641_4eb6775549.jpg)
These two are both ivory with Aurae dots encased in clear. The focal has gone a really deep golden brown where the Aurae has reacted with the ivory/fumed it.

ooh lots of good tips and inspiration on here!!

I've only made a quick scroll

but dying to have a real good play this weekend!

Post by: LesleyMac on May 02, 2009, 02:13:13 PM

I love those lentils and the big hole sc beads, gorgeous.

I have made some aurora beads that I might add to others to make a necklace, haven't decided yet though, its these below.

(http://www.lesleymcfarland.com/6bead/Aurora%20necklace.jpg)

A couple of others I made as well, just playing at the moment

(http://www.lesleymcfarland.com/6bead/Aurora%20samples%202.jpg)

oh and both these beads have Aurora in them, the blue focal is dotted with it and has some inside and the tube bead has just a couple of dots of it. Both look better in person.

(http://www.lesleymcfarland.com/6bead/Ribbon%20and%20aurora%20focal.jpg)

(http://www.lesleymcfarland.com/6bead/Tube%20bead%20with%20SIS%20ends.jpg)

I have decided I like this glass, its very easy to strike to a bright shiny finish but I haven't mastered more subtle colours yet, bit more practice.

Title: Re: Aurae is here! Lets see yours!
Post by: Lush! on May 03, 2009, 08:54:09 PM

Those are beautiful Lesley, I really love the long tube bead.

I had some aurae shards custom made for me ;) and I made lentils and a couple of big round focals with Effetre clear.

(http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a111/biggirlsblouseuk/P5030099.jpg)

and this one is over a transparent deep violet
(http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a111/biggirlsblouseuk/P5030104.jpg)

My only complaint about this amazing glass is that its a bugger to photograph!

Well my love affair with Aurae continues, nearly out now as I only had two rods :'( just enough left for a few stringers.

Love all those lentils Kaz, and I really love how it reacted with dark ivory on Sarahs bead.

This is an Aurae set which is part of a series of DH silver glass beads I've been working on, I love all the DH's and wanted to find a shape and style that really shows it off.

Super stunning bracelet, Anouk!

I used clear as a base for these "shimmer" beads too.

Here we are, I got some with my birthday voucher - lucky for Martin he still had some ;D

Just a quick play, with a thin layer, will try using a bit more next time.
I absolutely love it, it is so obliging! :)

Post by: julieHB on May 20, 2009, 10:05:53 AM

Lush Julie, it's all your fault!! :o I was not going to buy any more fancy glasses before I could produce something worthwhile.....and then you started this here thread ;D ...and then all you others followed up showing the most gorgeous and delicious beads. In the end I caved in and bought some too... ::)

Haven't played a lot with it, but here's a very unusual colour combination for someone who finds it difficult to put down the blue/green/turquoise rods:

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/juliehb/3547470463/" >(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3368/3547470463_f97811e6b5_o.jpg)</a>

It's Ask Cinnamon with petroleum green, cim plum, SIS and....aurae, of course, partly encased. It's difficult to see in the photograph, but the aurae reacts very differently with the different colours underneath.

Title: Re: Aurae is here! Lets see yours!
Post by: Josephine on May 20, 2009, 11:36:44 AM

Love those cubes Kathryn. Very lovely and very unusual Julie.

I made some nuggets with Aurae and transparent light brown and made them up into a necklace with pearls, Swarovski's and silver.

I have managed to get my Aurae to get blue tones which I really like.

What do you think? I still love this glass, its so darn useful.

Not quite aurae but close, this is one of the DH odds which led to aurae

(http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2465/3633115538_bf2b8f4646_m.jpg)

and a silver core with the same DH odd

There are many, many delicious beads on this thread that had me itching to play. I came up with a simple plunged dot silver core:

Photographing them is a tricky thing...how do you all manage to capture the beauty of Aurae so well?

Title: Re: Aurae is here! Lets see yours!
Post by: dinah46 on June 21, 2009, 09:48:25 AM

Can I sneak in some DH odd forerunner of Aurae again as my aurae order has definitely been kidnapped by C&E :(

Here's a bracelet to show a customer who is wanting a chunky bracelet to go with her wedding outfit, we're not quite there yet but I'm increasing my stock whilst experimenting :D

Helen, Colette, Janey, Kaz beautiful stuff :)

I think at this stage I could safely say that if I were asked to pick a desert island glass it would be aurae, I'd need some clear obviously some ivory and a few dark transparent bases but that would do me :)

Some more from me....

More Aurae and Cobalt Blue, this is amazing it just POPS out the most beautiful dark metalic blue.
