Kalera,
I love to fuse with transparent Bulleye orange as well, usually I use one
of
the Mardis Gras clear with stringers over it. You know, I never used to like
orange, but I dyed my gray, formerly black hair, blondish and now I find I
like
a whole new set of colors.

It's amazing how a change in hair color can adjust your whole way of
looking at colors! When I dyed my hair auburn, I found myself strongly
attracted to earth tones. Normally, I am attracted to jewel tones, like
the orange I love so much!

Bullseye's transparent orange is a real knockout, too. There's nothing
like it! Have you tried layering it over opaque yellow? It's amazing.

My favorite color to paint in is orange. It's my happy color. I can
work
for days on a painting that has blues, violets, or any other color than
orange or finish a huge orange painting in a manner of hours. My fellow
artists get a big kick out of watching me paint in orange because it
makes
me so happy.

Sure! There's just one up here, but you get the general idea; they're
transparent bright orange with an opaque core, and I make them in
various shapes with varying colors of raised dots. The one here has
light green dots:

And though I am compulsive enough to at least open each message,
particularly since topics morph so easily and the subject isn't always
a good indication of the content -- there are always some I just can't
take time to give my full attention to... regretfully, but otherwise I
couldn't tune in at all.

It is hard to prioritize and be selective. But I don't want to give up
on staying in contact most of the time.

Deirdre

Teah, the contact thing is really important to me, too! I feel like I
need to keep some kind of handle on the group. Well, I guess if I miss
something, no one will be *too* offended! Seems like we all have so much
going on.

I've been a very active participant in another group for about four years.
I had a spell when I couldn't post there, which lasted about six months or
so. When I came back and started posting again, it was like I was in
another world. Lots of new people there who didn't know me, who thought I
was new and wanted to show me the ropes, and a lot of my old friends weren't
around anymore.

I've learned from this that it always pays to stick a toe in now and then
just to say hi, even when you're not feeling much like being involved.
Newsgroups are constantly in flux and there's an ongoing evolution to them.
It avoids a lot of confusion to stay in touch.

Laura

I love that bead, too.

Speaking of orange and green, I've noticed lots of orange and green around
recently-- not just in jewelry, but generally in design. There appears to
be a real retro seventies thing going on, at least here in Philadelphia. Is
this going on elsewhere, too, or is the retro thing just really big where I
am?

I think it's everywhere, judging from the Target commercials I've been
seeing. No offense to those who like it, but I thought harvest gold, autumn
orange and avocado were awful the first time around and should have stayed
gone. G Some variations on it are nice, but I grew up in a gold and
avocado kitchen and, well, it wasn't very nice.

OTOH, I'm getting a giggle about lava lamps coming back.

I agree with this. And there are so many people here that I like, and
whose lives and thoughts are interesting to me. Wouldn't be happy with
losing that if I let the high volume push me away, so I skim wildly
when necessary, and catch up more thoroughly whenever possible.

Thanks!

I have a strong urge to make many like it, but with subtle variations.

Big nationwide, and also huge in London. (Yecch!)

Retro Sixties-Seventies is hitting bigtime here... shops are springing
up, and prices are sky-high.
