Sweetwater Give-Away <3

-


This pendant bead was created like all the others I make..that is, in the flame


with a rod of glass and a stainless steel mandrel and so many other fun things ~in this case, some copper foil and some powdered glasses (enamels). The copper reacted with the glass and produced that fabulous robin egg blue color..


But rather than using this one in my jewelry or selling it in the Etsy shop or Ebay, I'm offering it to you all.

I have a simple question for you to answer in the comments and then I will put your name in to a draw and Wah-lah ~the winner will get the bead.


Please choose your favorite color combination. Is it:

a) lime and pink
b)black and white
c) orange and turquoise
d) ivory and other neutrals
e) other combination..

Do tell!

Oh! A give-away! How fun (thanks for doing this)!

Hm... I would have to say that orange and turquoise are very pretty, and that turquoise with any other colour is also very pretty (when thinking back to the beads you make). I also like ivory and neutrals for matching clothing.

Another beautiful bead, Debbie. I just love your work.
Because I love colours it is hard to choose - but I would say from the choices given: lime and pink ~they remind me of sherbet and spring (wanting in this season of white!)and youth!

Usually it is red and black, all of my tattoos are in red and black. But lately is has been hot pink (the hotter the better) and black.

Oh thank you so much for the give away. My most favorite color the past year has been any shade of orange. So I must go with orange and turquoise. That combination sounds soothing and exciting at the same time. Like a sunset (soothing) over the ocean (exciting)

I love all the combinations you listed. I think my favorite of the group would be ivory and neutrals with orange and turquoise a very close second.

I'm so in awe of lampwork. I took a class only to find out I'm terrified of fire....so I'll just have to enjoy the creative artistry of other talented glass artist like you!

My favorite combos are definitely purple with turquoise or turquoise and coral. Purple is my favorite color, but I love anything vibrant.

Thanks for doing the giveaway!!! Pick me!!!

When I could make a choice I would choose a medium dark/light turqoise with silver.
To me they both accentuate each other, the turkoise gets even more beautiful, as does the silver.

When there's no silver, I choose white.
Turkoise and white. Marvellous!

Just one bead on a white blouse... nothing else...

Well there are alot of fave combos that I have, but I really would like to see aqua, silver and cream together. Kinda fresh and watery for Spring and Summer! ( How can you tell I am sick of winter!)

Even tho I am sick of winter and being surrounded by snow, white and silver, is still a wonderful combination!

I experiment with all different color combinations in my beadweaving and my art, but my all-time favorite - the colors I go back to time and time again - is black and white.

Yes, I know. It's kind of bland. But I just love the contrast! Maybe it's all those years of doing pen and ink drawings...

One of the reasons I love Glass..

-
Image
This set began with a rod of Moretti glass called EDP..a glorious dense pink-y purple that needs special working in the flame in order to achieve that color...along with a selection of powdered glasses and a wad of pure copper leaf. (Please excuse my love of run on sentences. I've tried to stop using them but they just creep back in every so often..feel free to stop and take a breath whenever you feel the need.) The result is riotous colors ..a tsunami of greens and aquas and pinks that weren't there before. These are simple beads, rounds ~nothing special and most beginners start here...but this set is precisely the reason I love glass. Set of 6 encased (to magnify and hi-light the colors beneath) rounds available now on EBay . 'Perfect Storm'
