Sunset Embers Lampwork Bead Set
This turned out to be such a pretty set of lampwork beads. It look several extra days to pick the right color combination. Some of the beads I selected had too much green or gray and so it took a few extra days to finally get the right color combination. This is definitely a winning combination.
Double Helix Pink Glass
Last week, my new Double Helix light pink glass colors arrived. The transparent one is a test batch BGX-894 and the opaque is Oracle Pink Pastel. These colors are technical colors and are not striking or reducing. These colors did not disappoint. They melted very nicely as expected when using Double Helix glass. There was no bubbling and shocking when making these beads. Really just a no fuss pink which is not usually the case with Effetre and CIM pinks.
