Title: Piggy pink?
Post by: elburnzo on June 07, 2010, 09:15:36 PM
being a newbie my glass supply is limited to ivory, violet and a mixture of rods given to me by the lovely Sally (Soulsilver). However my sister just asked if i could make some piggy beads. which pink would be best?

The spacers on this are just effetre baby pink 256. I'm a bit hooked on it at the moment, I find I need to strike it a few times to get it nice and pink though.
