Hi Dianne!

The first set is made with Bullseye sheet glass scrap... I don't remember the number, but in the sheet, it's a lovely cranberry and white swirl with hints of blue.

Hetch Hetchy was made by melting the end of Uroboros Alpine Blue and dipping it in Kugler Capri Blue frit, melting that into a gather, and then making the bead from the gather. This method, done with various colors, is one of my favorite methods for making beads! I finished the beads by tumbling them for a matte finish.

For my squeeze beads, yes, that is exactly what I do; I start with a nice even donut shape and then squeeze.

Thank you so much for the encouragement! I love hearing other people's success stories!
