I made a pink bead with a black heart recently and thought i used the 256 Pink and effetre back .
Every time i try to reproduce the black bleeds and weeps at the edges i have tried intense and it does the same - i have orders for the same bead and i cant do it! any suggestions would vetrofond be less likely to bleed or does anyone have any other pink and black combinations that work CIM pink gelly does the same i have tried working it real cool too still no luck i have attached a pic of the bead that has worked so you can see what i am trying to achieve !
Hiya
Have you tried Vetro black? Or a Reichenbach black? Just a thought...
I haven't got any Vetro but I've got a bit of Reich black frit - you could pull stringer from it and try that. PM me your addy if you want me to send you a bit to try hun ;)
Lovely bead Manda, its so cute, you will sell loads of them ;D
I remember reading somewhere that if you heat the dots too quickly and too hot you don't get a sharp edge.
Just a thought but maybe thats the problem rather than the glass. I would try it anyhow, melt slow and cool.
Sorry if I am teaching granny to suck eggs and you have already tried this. ;D
Any chance it could be the Ask pink lady's slipper? That looks the same colour from here ;)

I just see a pink bead with a black heart...what are you lot on?
Cheesy poofs Tan, work wonders for your eyesight they are almost a vitamin like choclit! ;D
But honestly, when I first read this post, just after Manda posted it, I could swear it was a black bead with a pink heart. Me thinks the bead fairy is playing tricks....or it could be the E numbers! ;D
Hope you get it sorted Manda. :)
