Carolyn,
When you say this:
"Wrap it around the base bead in a random pattern twice. Leave some silver showing! This creates the intense fire color you need over your silver."
Do you mean that you are applying two layers - one on top of the other, in a random pattern each time? SO the left side and the right side both get gone over twice?
Also, do you shape it after encasing with a repeated cooling cycle (encase and shape cool), or can you just heat well and shape without concern?
Thanks very much, I am planning to make some of these when I get the glass you used.
