How much fun is everybody having with this Guu !!

Dragonfire Glass

Here's mine. There was a bead as well but the guu is next to invisible.

Inexperience showing here, as two legs dropped off


and a little teeny tiny marble - love making these


Thanks for the opportunity Emma. Now, where do I get another oxycon .............  :D

Steampunkglass

ah, shame about the legs! looking good though, (or should that be guud?  ;D ) Tiny marbles are a good idea on one oxy, how big are they?

8 legs or 6 legs its still a wonderful spider 


If it's got a hole, it's a bead !

I am now equipped - and am playing tomorrow.  Oh, joy and happiness  :D

Dragonfire Glass

thank you  ;D
the marble is a bit bigger than a one penny piece in diameter - like I said, tiny  :D

Great spider - just the way I like them - incapacitated.....and your marbles are great too.

I am waiting for some clear boro, I'm saving half a rod of Guu for another attempt at something a little more - well,  shall we say desirable.... wide scope - plenty of options there then.

Stacy

Here are my attempts:

   

I have to say that I quite like it. It's got some fantastic striations which are nice and when its paired with Triple Passion it creates a great black line which I think is really cool.
I pictured the cored bead with some others because it is quite plain on its own but as an accent bead I think it works really well with nice autumnal colours.
My overall feeling for this is that on its own its a bit blurrgg but if you use it with other colours then its a really nice accent colour!

Thanks for the play Emma!!  :-*

Dragonfire Glass

As a colour I wouldn't have chosen it, but it does go very well with other colours.
Thosecored beads do have an autumnal look to them and the reaction in the top bead is great  ;D

Right, sorry this has taken so long, I had to wait ages for my glasses, then struggled a bit on my Minor.  This is my boro backscratcher (works fabulously well) with Guuey hair

My son pointed out something very rude about the nose which I hadn't noticed, in retrospect perhaps I shouldn't have used pink!  Needless to say, he doesn't get called Guuhead at home  ;D

 :DLOVE IT :D That backscratcher is such a genius idea and his face is so funny"

Stacy, yours looks way yellower than mine? I love that cored set tis very delish

NB. Do not touch hot rods of glass, it is stupid.

Oooh, he's fab!  ;D

I did promise a small prize to go with this competition, and Glenn has very kindly donated a pendant too - so I will do a quick round up of all those who posted, draw a couple of names at random and let you know  :)

garishglobes

Ok, well, Glenn and I did a random pick from all you brave people who took part in this, and I need to send a little something to Collette, while Rikki will be receiving something from Glenn.  :) Will pm you!  :)
