Nice advice Lynda,

I have used bullseye from the beginning and love it. I collected Morretti and never use it.

For the white French vanilla is my favorite. It is the only white that is actually opaque. I seem to use mostly opaque glass

When making black and white beads I normally use the deep royal purple for the base black. Using black or stiff black....I haven't figured and much difference with these two, for upper layer dots and stringer work. I find the first heating goes fine. It is when you reheat the blacks that they bleed.

Mixing the mint green with dichroic glass (mixed with clear) can give you a nice opal, like the stone, effect.

Send me your email address and I will send you a blank color chart I created. Print it on card stock and glue your color samples on it. From the "Torch Tips", Bullseye has, I lifted the glass ingredients and the what they react to and put it on the chart for easy reference.
