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!
