Just mix colors until you strike one you like...
Half the fun of making beads are the " Aha" moments. Mixing greens w reds and orange/corals give some great combos!


You can also try raku it does some kewl things when
Mixed with other colors!

I would take a brown fritblend, make a white gather, roll it in the blend, melt in, perhaps encase and then pull without twisting.

Good suggestion. Might also be pretty if you used a a glass in the brown family, such as Stone Ground or Canyon de Chelly, instead of white.

Yes, just make sure it doesn't react (too much) with your chosen frit.

Thanks Danelady,
Great ideas for vines! I will have to experiment with the colors you are showing me.
I guess I am bumping up old -( new to me ) - tutorials, and I am still digging in the archives. So much information on the website.

That's awesome Mary; I love it. Thank you! I am so glad this got bumped up.

Without silver - I used sediment and reichenbach coffee brown. It's on the green floral below.
