Dear Shelley,

Most of my stuff is what I would describe as organic at the moment and I tend to use lots of ivory with silver foil and then twisty reactive stringers over it. I like vetrofond ivory (medium) the best. I make a base bead with the ivory then apply foil to most of the bead and burnish on. Then I burn it off but in the top part of the flame and don't overcook it. Next apply a stringer with reactive colors (copper green, turquoise, coral). I like my twisties to have both opaques and transparents to give them more dimension. I also dot some clear about here and there and make some swirls and stuff. And finally I usually reduce the silver at the end with a great big reduction flame. Here's an example and you can pm me if I can be of any help.
