Try a search for Pandora, Tracy (go to Home first to get all the folders searched). There were one or two threads when it was new.

When you say played with, these are the beads I made to go on my 3 sisters Pandora chains they got for Christmas;

Or have I got the wrong end of the stick completely?  Sorry if so!

Did any of these threads come up? Not in the first post maybe, but if you read through you should find some tips. I think it needs to be greenish clear before putting it in the kiln. If it doesn't strike first time you can try again, but if you overdo it you'll get a rusty colour that you can't fix.
Sorry if you've already found these!

thanks mary...found lots....people I dont seem to be happy with it really...will have it greenish clear b4 i put it in kiln if i can then..when i finally get out of my pit. I was actually wondering Mary if b4 u had your ventilation did u ever suffer with really sore throats..i mean big time? I've been ill for a few days but have stopped the shivers now cos i can stomach paracetamol and ibuprofen but my neck glands are really swollen and my throat is really bad. have to have painkillers on board 24/7. I wondered if it might be the torch? I only made 2 little sets the other night..really basic..with the door open to the freezin cold.
I have been on to swine flu line and they said have the medication but they arent even medically trained and arejust folowing a questionaire...madness. Going by the questionaire everyone has had swine flu everytime they are ill and always has. Cant go to GP cos they have washed their hands of anyone with a cold etc. I havent got a cough or cold.
Sorry to be a pain..i just wondered if u had it ever? b4 u had ventilation.
Thanks mary...i just wanna make something but havent got the energy. xx

I've had headaches and a dry throat, but not badly, and shivers sounds like flu. My DH was like that over New Year - sore throats, headaches, shivers, and he is still tired but back at work. Hope you feel better soon!
