I pulled out a really lovely light transparent pink rod, chose a frit that I thought would go nicely on it & made an egg shaped focal. But when I finished it & pulled it out of the kiln the next day, it was a really dark pink colour & the shape was all wrong for something that dark. I should have gone for something thin, like a crunch or a lentil or even encased clear or white in it so you could see the colour, have made a mental note of that glass .
Ooooh, yeah, working with unlabeled BE is a crapshoot because a LOT of their colors strike! Especially the pinks.
