Still Catching Up!!!

These beads were made back on October 9th.  Now most of the information listed with these beads will just be technical information for my log but you still might enjoy looking at the pretty beads.  There are many photos of each bead in different lighting because this silvered glass shines so differently in the various settings/lights.

Overall group of beads to follow.

Bead 3 is my favorite of the day: Same application as bead number 2 but has a base of pink bubblegum.  I love the different colors that glow from those bubbles on this one!!!

Bead 4

Bead 4

Well bead 4 is an example of when silvered glass turns poop colored.  It is a base of 24K, with Kalypso dots applied hot and melted down hot, let cool before striking and reducing and clear capping but I think when I reheated to poke the dots and capped again, I must have lost those nice colors.  Oh well, live and learn right? 

That's it for the beads from this day at the torch.  Be back shortly with more of my log inventory catch up.
