Finally, I'm managing to get something out of the silver glass!!
Well these aren't anywhere near the same league as Isabelle, but I had a bash with the Gaia last night, got reasonable results. The pics aren't brilliant, I struggled a bit to get the colours to show up but hopefully you'll get the idea!
Hello people! So I have been on the torch since February and decided to splash out on a mixed pack of Double Helix from Tuffnells and I am now officially OBSESSED!! Why didn't someone tell me how addictive this glass is? Here are my favourites so far (they are thumbnails which should enlarge if clicked...I hope lol!)
I just can't believe what this glass will do even on a Hot Head, amazing, I would love to see other peoples DH beads too....

Here are a couple from me, I have had the most success with Aurae and Ekho. I have had zip success with luna, and I haven't tried triton yet. I'm on a HH too.
Ekho:

And early experiments with Aurae:

Sorry, bit of a hog!
So a few more experiments from the weekend: 1st one is Luna, 2nd is Luna & Aion, 3rd is Nyx & Psyche, 4th is Nyx I think!, 5th is Luna and Gaia. They are all thumbnails so should get bigger if clicked. My macro lens is so good it has even picked up all the dog & cat hairs and dust that I omitted to clean of them whilst photographing OOOPS!
I have also made a little pendant with some of my Triton ones and I am testing ebay see if I get a nibble!! So cheekily....I think this is the link if anyone is interested!! http://shop.ebay.co.uk/jennie8789/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=25

Triton dots over chalcedony.
C'mon then, lets see 'em.
I tried Clio over CIM mermaid, then encased.

Hi Julie, can't believe the colours you've got I'm jealous! I have been playing too, have some images on show and tell this week but have been experimeting with different clear and opaque bases heres a selection, it seems to change dramatically depending on the base, that little mink bead - base of chalcedony has a real pinky purple to the bumps that is lovely but doesnt really show in the photo and a single unincased bead a base of CIM Grumpy Bear that was quite pretty.

Oh look, hello me! :D
I have a couple of encased ones but just couldn't photograph them, Clio is one tricksy lady!
BTW, the BHB is only the second one I have ever attempted, I'm so chuffed with it! ;D
These are pure Clio reduced -

Love this glass!! ;D
Just posted these in Show and Tell but they are Clio so here they are again :) Apologies if you have already seen them !
(http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f392/Muddimers1/IMG_6499.gif)
There are some fantastic beads on here and a fabulous range of colours. I haven't tried my clio yet but this is one of the odd lots which it was based on.

Its a beautiful glass but a pain to photograph!
