🌸 May at Chockadoo

May is all about love, warmth, and the little moments that matter 💐
A month where creativity slows down just enough for meaning to take centre stage. As we move into Mother’s Day season, we’re celebrating colour, connection, and the beauty of handmade glass art.

This is your month to create with feeling, experiment with softness, and turn simple materials into something truly personal.

🎨 Colour Palette of the Month

We’ve created two palettes this month, designed to help you create soft, thoughtful pieces that feel perfect for gifting.

Palette One: Soft Florals (Bullseye Fusers)

This palette was created with Bullseye fusers in mind, using sheet glass for clean layering, gentle blends, and soft transparent effects.

If you prefer working with frit, you can recreate the same look using matching frits and powders. This gives you more texture and control, especially for delicate details like petals, shading, and highlights.

Palette Two: Bloom Details (Lampworkers)

Designed with lampworkers in mind, this palette works beautifully across both COE 90 and COE 104.

These colours are perfect for smaller, more personal pieces like beads, charms, floral accents, and keepsake jewellery. Think gifts Mum can wear, hold, or treasure.

Whether you are layering petals, adding fine dot work, or building dimensional florals, these tones are soft, warm, and made for Mother’s Day gifting.
