Hi Michelle,

You might want to give silver foil a try first. It probably doesn't have the same effect, but it sure is cheaper (and very nice too.....)

I have also tried silvered ivory on a black base, an ivory base and a sort of pinkish/beige base. I like them very much and indeed they look kind of organic.

Hi Tess,

I've tried the copper too, but even though it kind of burns off right away, you'll still get some effect from it. If you heat the bead really well after encasing, bubbles appear on the...

Hi Debbie,

I know it's not exactly lime green, but pea green by Moretti is a lovely color. But I reckon you already know that.

Not to argue with either of you, but my experience is, that the one time I hadn't noticed that my frying pan didn't heat up, due to a malfunction of it, more of my beads cracked than normally. When...

Hi Lynn,

All kinds of glass have their own COE. Sometimes they are compatible like Moretti (COE104) and Lauscha (I think COE 102-106). I don't really know what COE stands for, but I do know that,...

hi Tamara,

I'm righthanded with most things, but when making beads, I hold the mandrel in my right hand and the rods in my left. Usually I even apply dots and things that way, but sometimes I...

I use a small frying pan/fondue pan that is filled with vermiculite. I warm it up to about 100 oC before I start making beads. After I've finished with the torch, I turn off the electricity and let...

Thank you for your reply. I will try this method, but I do have one more question; you say you don't heat up the base bead with the silver on it, but doesn't the bead cool too much then? How do you...

Hi Maryse,

I'll give it a go. I also bought some silver foil I have yet to try. Couple of weeks ago I thought myself smart by trying aluminium foil first, before buying real silver, but I can tell...

Hi Maryse,

Thank you for your reply. I must say that the bead I made yesterday wasn't all that bad. I'll try it again with a white bead as you suggested. I don't work with enamels (yet anyway),...

Please explain how it works. You make a base bead, then roll the hot bead over some copper foil, and then what? When I tried it, the copper burnt mostly, so I must be doing something wrong. So, after...

Check out 'www.stainedglass.nl, then 'webwinkel', 'beadmaking', 'benodigdheden'. You'll find these mandrells in different sizes, and also a complete set. It's a Dutch site, so the...

Maybe this is a stupid question, but what do you guys mean by 'getting it to strike' or 'trying to strike it'? I don't know any better than that a striking color is just a color that changes once you...

Hi Lil,

I don't know how to mix colors myself, but reading your question, I was thinking, can't you mix two frits first and when you think the mixture looks gook, then melt them onto a clear rod?...
