This worked beautifully \u003cb\u003eover different base glasses and encased inside clear glass\u003c\/b\u003e, and the results changed quite a bit depending on the application. Over lighter glass, it can stay soft and sandy with touches of blush and warm neutral color. Over darker and more reactive glass, it develops deeper smoky, gray-blue, and stone-like reactions. Encased, the colors soften into translucent layers with a polished shell or shoreline-stone look.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThe Gold Aventurine adds small flashes of sparkle throughout the blend. If you want to preserve more of that shimmer, try not to overwork or overheat the frit. Encasing it can also help protect more of the aventurine sparkle as the bead is worked.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eShoreline Opal Sparkle works especially well for mosaic-style beads, soft swirls, encased designs, organic stone effects, coastal glasswork, and neutral jewelry designs. Because the blend changes depending on the base glass and how it is worked, it can produce anything from pale sand and shell tones to smoky blue-gray, blush, amber, and earthy neutral reactions. It really looked great over any base glass color.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThe blend is designed for \u003cb\u003e96 COE glass\u003c\/b\u003e and may also be used sparingly with 104 COE glass, generally around 5–10% of the total design.
