Thanks, Caliente! Me too. I am way determined that way. As you can see a few cracked beads didn't stop me yet! Close though...
Sarah-Lol, Very interesting. I am so surprised I am just now finding out about this weird yellow/orange thing. Good to know though!
NO! Holy crap! WEIRD!! Glass is such a strange creature, isn't it?
What great insight Jaci! Yeah that totally make sense. Well putting all of the info together with heat/colors really sheds some light on these issues.
