I do not know what this other method is, but would be interested in hearing about it as well as what Davide Penso has to say. For a long time on Murano they made their beads on copper wire. Beadmakers would then soak the beads and copper wire in acid until the acid had removed all the copper.

I heard, but cannot verify that some beadmakers would then toss their used acid into the toilet or directly into the canals....not good for the sea life that lives in the canals and not good for the people who eat the fish that swim in the canals.

This is all very interesting.

Speaking of Politics I just returned from Victoria Canada. I bought a bumper sticker, but am not exactly sure what the message is:

"49% of the U.S. population and 100% of the rest of the people on this planet know this"
