The Devil Wears Prada - great book, is about the Cruella da Ville of the Fashion Publishing - Anna Wintour, Hellen Gurley Brown, all rolled into one.

She is evil. With the drama our industry now, I think of things in terms of movies and laugh.

It's a Gilda Ratner thing.. well I am Canadian, and spent many years in Toronto, and those who know me, know I am very funny.

I also have a pretty optimistic was of trying to deal with life.

Right now, my 20 year old cousin is in ICU. He is as bright as can be and is entering third year university. He has a rare form of MD, he is at the stage where his lungs are not working. Between that and having a neice and nephew in Israel, and a big job interview tommorow,


It is always something, I sure hope I don't have a big piece of snot hanging out of my nose during my interview.


I'd better get to bed, so I don't look and sound like shit tommorow..

As the resident LUNY, I wholeheartedly approve! Whisker, what is that ring around your amber moon? Is that silver too?

Thanks for a great tutorial, Debbie! I can't wait to try these. I assume this is a similar process for creating the beach scene beads?

I would assume so Darelyn! I haven't tried those.

I'd love to see pics of any that anyone creates!

Here goes...

I'm a real newbie (torching for about a week) so please don't laugh, well, at least not too hard.

Debbie I love your lunar bead and it really inspired me but it was obviously way too advanced for someone like me who is still trying to get the footprint right. But never being one to back down from a challenge - here it is! It's lopsided, the colors are crooked and I didn't have any white for the moon so it looks more like a sun but I was really excited to see what would come out.

I'm actually not completely disgusted with it - EXCEPT - what the heck happened to the ivory half!!!??? I mean...Blech...It's a hideous dull gray!

I used silver foil and it burned into the black half really nicely - lots of little "stars." So what's the deal with the other half?

Laurie, great bead!

I think maybe it was silver leaf and not foil you used? Also, whether you use dark or light ivory makes a difference. Not good or bad, just different.

Looks like you got it down though!

I thought you said we could use either silver leaf or silver foil? I'm not getting 'stars' at all just this scummy grey looking under tone, whether I encase it or I don't. Any further tips on how to get the silver to melt? I heated it last night till I saw it bubbling.. still no 'stars'. I LOVE the look of the beads and would really like to figure out how to make them. TIA for the help and for the tutorial.

Debbie - I went back and checked to be sure - it's silver foil.

The ivory was just labeled "Ivory" not light or dark. If I had to guess I would say light.

Weird how something will work fine on one color and not on another...I obviously still have a lot to learn.

I'm on a Minor Burner ... I've tried transparent Black and Intense Blue neither one causes stars.

You did get stars on the black half. That is the only place I usually get stars.

With the ivory, are you using effettre (moretti) dark or light ivory? Dark gives more color variations usually.

You can take some different colors and drizzle or trail them over the ivory before you wrap it in the silver and that will give you variations on the bottom half. Try transparents or reactive colors like Copper green.

OK I just saw this.

Burnish on the silver really well before heating it. To burnish you roll the silver onto bead and rub it real smooth all around. Then heat it till you see the silver disappear. Let the bead cool slightly the reintroduce back into the flame. I think that is when I see the stars appear.

I'll have to try it again tonight and note what I am doing.

I'll try that tonight... here's a picture of my lunar bead ... the two spots you see are NOT a spots they're a reflection of a light over the bead. Unfortunately, the scummy grey undercolor doesn't show up at all on any of the pictures I take.


Let me make sure I've got the steps right,

1. Lay down black and ivory
2. Round up and smash into the desired shape
3. Heat to glowing orange, roll in silver
4. Use burnishing tool to rub the silver into the bead
5. Re-heat bead until silver disappears (?) (this is the missing piece maybe, the silver never disappears for me...)
6. Allow bead to cool
7. Re-heat bead and spots should appear
8. Cool bead and apply dot for moon

Please correct anything I have wrong... Otherwise I'm going to try again and try to get the silver to disappear

I am using Silver leaf or it could be foil that my instructor gave me a sample of at my private lesson... she had shown me how to pull silvered ivory stringer, and I have used it for that. I assume it is .999 silver, but I'm not certain. I have some PMC laying about, could I roll out my own silver using that? It's .999 Silver for sure.

OK I just wanted to be sure you weren't using fake silver leaf from the craft store. Cause that would just get scummy.

One additional tip I can add to the original tut is to not burnish the silver. Just wrap it on well. When I burnish it in I get greyish stuff not stars.

Default different photos of lunar style beads

ok...first attempt at lunar moon bead, excuse the crappy pics.



And for those of you that say you can't see the moon from the moon, here's one of a view of earth from the moon



I tried the cobalt and tried adding some texture to the moon part but it didn't work out too good...I'll try again on the weekend.



I was trying to just simulate the milky way with coloured stars...oh...minus the fingerprint in the photo...lol Not as many stars as I wanted but I'll try it again



Janet
