Might be a thread hog here, but after a week of just not getting anything worthwhile, have finally got the hang of this tutorial, and made a LOTof these, trying different colors. Will describe without giving away 'secret' of the tut.
(Think at fist I was trying on beads that were just too small for the way I work, and the torch [minor] and flame I use, so these are all fairly large, and most of them pressed and with final encasing of clear)
All glasses mentioned are effetre/moretti unless specified otherwise.
This one uses a base of uranium yellow with coral.
dark turquoise over pale blue transparent
copper green over transparent ink blue
