Hmm, I don't think I mixed the clears. I think I made one with a little bit of lauscha clear on the end, picked up the goldstone, melted in and double encased in lauscha clear. The other was made the same way only this time I used moretti super clear as the base and double encased in the goldstone with moretti clear. The stringer is left raised. Maybe I'm just burning off the sparkles. I am making a big bead and am worried about keeping the bead warm so it doesn't crack. Probably should apply the goldstone as the last step instead of doing the feathering at the bottom as a last step.
