Galaxy Bead Tutorial

Linda, did you burn off the reduction before encasing? I'm on a Hot head and tend to get that effect when there is too much redution on the surface before encasing.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrghhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!
No, Vee.
I thought I followed the instructions so well. GRRRRRRR!!!

<<<Looking extremely sheepish

To be fair, they are a bit squished up together but I didn't want to take up too much forum space

Madam Steph · June 26, 2011, 04:44:58 PM

No.....they were fine.
It was me.

I was trying to torch and read (and I thought I could multitask)

Soon as my Cricket arrives, and it should be on Tuesday, it will be one of the first things I will retry.

I don't like stuff to beat me

Added silvered ivory ends and some murrini (new Buttermint!)

Yup!!

Great tut, Vee. We did something very similar on the Andrea Guarino class with the clear trails that turn blue.

OMG Kaz.
That's awesome!

Ooh, Kaz - lovely!

This is one I made back in the spring - purple red and silver leaf: it has a bit of the blue halo effect

and this one I made yesterday with the clear stringer and encasing - much more blue, and I like the veining

I've had a go with the howaco blue silver just to see if it makes a difference. *sigh* I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
